Abstract A wide range of mirror plate butt welding conditions were used to join PVDF pipe to pipe and to an injection moulded fitting. The microstructures of the welds were characterized by microtomy and by transmitted light microscopy, and the mechanical properties by tensile testing. The results show that high integrity pipe to pipe joins can be produced for a relatively wide range of welding conditons, and that the integrity of pipe to fitting joins may be reduced because of the adverse influence of the moulded part on weld bead geometry.
