Influence Analysis of the Controllable Factors on the Objective Functions for Optimizing the Welding of PE 100 Pipelines for Natural Gas Distribution

The paper presents a series of experimental researches performed using the design of experiments method RSD (Response Surface Design) for modeling and optimizing the welding process of PE 100 pipelines, used in natural gas distribution. In this sense, the aim was to analyze the influence of controllable factors such as pressure, temperature and time on the objective functions, aiming to obtain certain characteristics of the welded joint.
