Kerotest Manufacturing – SHANNON & PAF III OPERATORS MANUAL - REV 3
Traceability
Pipe/Fitting
The Gas industry has been promoting the adoption of traceability barcodes by manufacturers of pipe and
fittings, through the ASTM F2897-11 and ISO 12176-4 standards. These barcodes contain the manufacturer's
data that pertains to the construction of the pipe/fittings that are being fused. For those manufacturers that
have incorporated this traceability feature, it can be found on an additional barcode appearing on the pipe
and fittings, separate from the standard fusion barcodes. Examples of these barcodes are shown below:
ASTM F2897-11
ISO 12176-4
The Pipe/Fitting Traceability option can only be enabled through the Features Menu (see page 35). When this
option is set to "ON" or "OPT", in addition to the fitting barcode, the operator will be prompted to scan one or
more traceability barcodes that are attached to the pipe and/or the fitting. This data will not affect the fusion;
however, it will be associated with the fusion in the download.
If the Pipe/Fitting Traceability option is set to "ON" or "OPT", the operator will be prompted to scan the
barcodes immediately after the fitting barcode is scanned. The screen will look similar to the following:
SCAN TRACEABILITY
BARCODE 1
Press START if done.
You can scan one (1) or more traceability barcodes at this time, up to six (6) barcodes. When you scan
multiple barcodes, the display will update accordingly to indicate the number of barcodes scanned.
THE OPERATOR MUST SCAN AT LEAST ONE (1) TRACEABILITY BARCODE UNLESS THE PIPE/FITTING OPTION IS
SET TO "OPT" (OPTIONAL).
When you are finished scanning traceability barcodes, or if you do not wish to scan any traceability barcodes
during this fusion, press the START button to advance to the VERIFY SETUP screen. Alternately, if the
maximum number of traceability barcodes (6) has been scanned, the processor will automatically advance to
the VERIFY SETUP screen.
FOR DATA INTEGRITY REASONS, THERE IS NO METHOD TO MANUALLY INPUT TRACEABILITY DATA.
