The use of polymeric pipes in drainage systems and gas lines facilities are increasingly being applied due to several positive characteristics of these materials. There are several applications in which the polymeric material can replace metallic advantageously because they have greater flexibility (compared to steel pipes), lower weight (consequent ease of handling), increased chemical resistance to various fluids and to the environment, abrasion resistance, low density, low thermal conductivity, doesn t require painting, in addition to having lower costs. However, despite of such tube are awakening growing interest as a result of the possibility of diversification of forms and their attractive properties, currently several industries still consider it as something not so advantageous, opting for the use of pipes as the steel. Some of the disadvantages of the polymers taken into account in the choice of the type of material to be applied (compared to steel) can be: low resistance to high temperatures, low mechanical strength and high thermal expansion coefficient. A crucial point for the industries that use polymer pipes is their welding process. The most traditional way welding of these pipes is performed through the process by thermal fusion. It s called hot plate welding, where the pipes are welded face to face (butt-weld). The study of changes of welding parameters allows some of the requirements and standards can be reviewed through experiments in order to obtain a better understanding or even optimizing the results generated. The procedures used in the execution of the joints analyzed in this work are grounded in the German standard - DVS 2207. It s the most used standard in the industries as a basis for the application of parameters and process requirements. Although this process offer great safety and reliability, the disclosure in the literature is still limited and some issues need to be discussed, such as the effectiveness of pre-defined working range. This work aims to identify the combinations of parameters to generate welded joints of 12 polyamide pipes that have better quality and therefore good performance. The joints were made in the Centro de Tecnologia Senai - Solda (CTS). Different settings of processing parameters were studied. The microstructural changes like union of surfaces, mass variation and degradation of the material, were analyzed by the thermogravimetric analysis tests and the macro-structural changes (mechanical response) to the influence of these parameters were analyzed by stiffness and tensile tests.
