Big diameter polyethylene pipes used an important role due to superior performance (Flexibility, light weight, long lifetime and tighten joint) for water and industrial supply to several countries. However according to standard concerned Polyethylene pipes as like ISO4427 we are being used solid wall pipe with too...

As the resistance to notches of the new PE 100 RC materials continuously improves, the classical control methods - as mentioned in the product standards - of PE have to improve consequently. Indeed, the resin compound producers now have pipe qualities with notch resistance far beyond 1000 h. It was necessary to...

Polyethylene pipes are successful worldwide due to the superior performance (Flexibility, light weight, lifetime, tighten joint) for water and sewerage supply. However according to our ISO standard concerned Polyethylene pipes we have to use solid wall pipe with too thick against for internal pressure. The major job...

As polyethylene pressure pipes enter the global marketplace under an ever-wider range of operating conditions, there is increasing emphasis on their rapid crack propagation performance. It is important that both producers and end-users are able to rely on the robustness of the rapid crack propagation test results and...

Since the official introduction of the S4 test in several ISO and CEN standards, different test institutes have achieved experience in the RCP behaviour of polyethylene gas and water pipes. In most cases the S4 test is limited for smaller pipes up to a diameter 250 mm. This paper resumes the results recently obtained...

Lifetime prediction of plastics piping systems plays an important key role when selecting new materials for pressure pipes. Practical experience during more than 50 years, demonstrates that PVC piping systems do not vanish after the lifetime as mentioned in the relevant national and international standards. PVC pipes...

Although total safety in the gas industry may be an impossible dream, each engineer must definitely use every possible means to come near to this perfection. In view of this objective some gas companies join their efforts for combined research and development in order to improve standards or specifications and...
