Conservation drainage systems win win for the environment and the agricultural producer

STEPHEN W. BAKER

Papers # 2010 Vancouver

Corrugated polyethylene drainage pipe has been used for agricultural drainage in the Midwestern United States for approximately forty years. The increased worldwide demand for corn and soybeans has triggered an increased use of fertilizers and drainage systems by the producer. This combination of these two yield improving practices has created an unintended consequence; an increase in nitrogen enriched discharges from some drainage systems. This paper will present two conservation drainage systems which have been shown to reduce these discharges.

Due to its flexibility, toughness, and good resistance to corrosion and abrasion, polyethylene pressure pipe has been widely used for several decades in a variety of applications, including gas and water distribution, oil and gas gathering, and many industrial pipe segments. A significant limitation for polyethylene...

2016 Berlin : Advanced applications for HDPE pipes with new PE-RT material

Author(s) : Wes Long, Carl F. Baker

Canfor’s Prince George Pulp & Paper Mill in Prince George, BC, Canada operates a bleach plant effluent system for the production of Bleached Kraft Pulp. The original underground fiberglass reinforced pipe (FRP) presents an elevated risk to both environment and production targets. Over the past five years there have...

2016 Berlin : Pent study of cross-linked polyethylene pipe resins

Author(s) : Carl F. Baker

The performance of HDPE resins with regards to slow crack growth has increased dramatically over the past two decades. The most common test method for pipe products is ASTM F1473, Standard test Method for Notch Tensile Test to measure the resistance to Slow Crack Growth of Polyethylene Pipes and Resins (PENT). Results...

As the technical performance and reliability of polyethylene pipe systems have grown, so too has the range of application and the complexities for designing and sourcing the variety of components necessary for these projects. In today’s global market, major industrial and/or municipal investments such as raw water...

2012 Barcelona : Comparison of ASTM and ISO Requirements for PE-RT in Potable Water Applications

Author(s) : Carl F. Baker

The performance requirements for flexible polyolefin potable water piping systems in North America are quite different than those in other areas of the world. PolyEthylene – Raised Temperature (PE-RT) products were developed in Western Europe in the early 1980’s and since that time have evolved into the high...

2012 Barcelona : Harmonisation of polyethylene pipe buttfusion procedures and test methods - Final conclusions

Author(s) : Stephen Beech, Christophe Salles, Ulrich Schulte

Polyethlyene, Pipes, Buttfusion, Joining, Testing Several well established procedures are used for butt fusion welding of PE pipes globally. The most widely used are the European Single Pressure, UK Dual Pressure, and the USA High Pressure procedures. In the future it may be possible to rationalise these procedures....
