PE-RT, A New Class of PE for Hot Water Pipes - 2001 [PE]

Author(s) : Dr. Holger Bruening, Detlef Schramm

Applications at elevated temperatures like cable conduit pipes for high voltage cables, pipelines used in oil industry or in industrial plants offer new possibilities for PE but additional requirements in such applications have to be taken into account. Long term experience in using PE100 pipes with respect to easy...

Developments in catalyst and process technology have resulted in a new, highly differentiated product family based on ethylene-a-olefin copolymers. This paper reports the key attributes of those materials. These polymers form the basis for a new class of Polyethylene materials: PE-RT (Polyethylene of Raised...

The development of a new family of PE materials with significantly improved processability and long-term strength at high temperatures is discussed. These polymers form the basis for a new ISO class of polyethylene materials : PE-RT (Polyethylene of Raised Temperature resistance) for hot and cold water as well as...

Analysis of polyethylene (PE) pipes ductile failure (ballooning) suggests that it is directly related to the delayed necking phenomena and time to ductile failure of PE pipe can be evaluated as the time to delayed necking. The necking in polyethylene (PE) is studied under displacement control (ramp test) and load...
