Setting the Value of the Design Coefficient for A 0.3MPa Gas Supply Use PE Piping System in Japan [PE]

 

Plastic Pipes Conference Association # 2004 Milan

Akiyama, Kuriyama

The technical study group established by the Japan Gas Association examined the general design coefficient factor (C) to use polyethylene pipe to transport gas in Japan up to 0.3MPa. Because there are no results of the use of polyethylene pipe for gas in this high pressure range in Japan, we conducted a study considering the way that PE pipe is actually laid, and consequently selected 3.0 as the value of C.
