4. Turbulence Wear:
With increased flow the bead creates a turbulence that generates wear when slurries of abrasive materials flow through the system. Even though the bead will finally wear away and turbulence decreases, the final effect is a thinner wall cross-section in that location. In push joint pipe systems this turbulence can never be removed.
In thermoplastic piping systems engineers recognize the efficiency and advantages of having the internal weld bead removed from a system compared to a system that is not. Whether the issue is flow Reduction, or flow Restriction, or Stimulated Blockage, or Biofilm/Bacteria entrapment or Turbulence Wear. The concept of bead removal is an advancement in the thermoplastic piping industry that needs to be utilized, if for no other reason than higher efficiency.
