Abstract

The use of HDPE as an industrial material has been widely used and often encountered daily, ranging from plastic bags, bottles, to clean water pipes. However for industries with larger objects (small ship industry) HDPE has not been widely worked on. For national shipping industry, HDPE boat have not developed much, because most of the raw materials for HDPE sheets are still imported, making HDPE boat more expensive than FRP boat (even though the building of FRP ships is prohibited due to the issue of environmentally damage). HDPE as a new/alternative material for boat must meet shipbuilding standards regulated in the Classification rules, including the quality of base and welding joint of HDPE. The experiment was carried out by testing HDPE joints with an extrusion type welding with 15mm thickness by bending and tensile tests, using acceptance criteria on DVS 2203-5 and TL/IRS Rules, the results showed that in general the DT method on HDPE welded joints failed due to less of joint and full penetration of the bevel. Meanwhile, to find out defects in welds using the NDT method, a reference study was carried out which refers to the ASTM E3044:2016 standard for UT testing of polyethylene butt fusion joints.
