Abstract

In the plastics industry the term ‘fabrication’ is usually understood to cover a range of techniques by which such intermediate products as sheet or rod are processed into finished products. It is a characteristic feature of many fabrication techniques that, despite the wide extent of automation, they commonly involve a certain amount of more or less direct manipulation by an operative. Some fabrication techniques find their main application where the dimensions of the finished product are too large for production by other methods and/or where final operations have to be carried out on site. Examples are: production, by welding, of chemical ducting from rigid PVC sheet; lining of chemical tanks (metal or GRP) with PVC sheeting (which may have to be cut to shape, and then joined by welding); welding of PVC flooring or reservoir linings (of flexible PVC sheeting); and production of tubular-frame garden furniture from rigid PVC pipes.
