Pipe materials that are resistant to damage by thirty-party works were investigated with attention to materials already used for other purposes. Pipes for underwater cables, water service and agricultural use, both multiple-layer and single-layer types, were selected for the test. Protective materials were also...
2006 Washington DC : Development of the Innovative Technology for Aged House PipesAuthor(s) : Akiyama, Higuchi, Nose, Toyoda, Kitano, Kuriyama
Since the year 2001, the Japan Gas Association has started the development of new renewal
methods capable of cost reduction for modification work by inserting a new double-layered
corrugated plastic pipe into the old gas pipe to encourage the modification of aged house pipes
and upgrade the level of safety. The...
2006 Washington DC : Fabrication and Evaluation of PE-Based Composite Gas PipeAuthor(s) : Higuchi, Nakai, Hamada
To realize a polyethylene pipe with high strength and a high modulus of elasticity, a
polyethylene based composite pipe was tentatively fabricated. To retain the plasticity of the
composite pipe, polyethylene yarns were used as reinforcement. It was an interface-less
composite because the reinforcement and the pipe...
1998 Gothenburg : Development of EF Jointing WorksAuthor(s) : Yoshida, Kitaoka, Nishimura
Because dirt ( sand, mud, etc. ) on the fusion interface causes a decrease in the strength of
fusion joints, it is necessary to scrape and clean the pipe surface before fusion jointing.
We have determined the degree of dirt that causes a decrease in the strength of fusion
joints by experiments on peeling off at the...
