ABSTRACT:
Improved method of joining a rigid thermoplastic fitting to a rigid thermoplastic well screen having longitudinal support rods utilizes pressure and friction generated heat to bond a reduced diameter tubular, rigid thermoplastic sleeve portion of the fitting to the inner surface of the screen. The method permits the joining, without the use of solvents, of screens and fittings of PVC, polypropylene, or ABS, for example, which have the same outer diameters. The sleeve portion of the fitting has an outer diameter which is greater than the inner diameter of the well screen. The assembly method requires that the parts to be mated be rotated rapidly relative to each other as they are forced axially into interfering, telescopic engagement. The overlapping members are fused along a generally conically tapered plane with the material which is melted during rotation being deposited in the circumferential spaces between the screen's support rods.
