PP-R (random copolymerized polypropylene) has been widely used in hot and cold water systems. However, the standard PP-R pipes have the disadvantages of a large high-temperature thermal expansion coefficient, an insufficient notched impact strength, and a low temperature and pressure resistance. In this paper, a new...

For PE pipes for water supply installed in the summer, the pipeline’s temperature under the sun exposure can influence the properties of the pipe. If you carry out the pressure tests directly, it can result in damage to the pipeline. So we conducted a detailed analysis and research on the influence of exposure to the...

The small scale steady state (S4) test is a convenient and relatively inexpensive means of measuring the critical pressure (Pc) for rapid crack propagation in plastic pipes. The critical pressure measured in the S4 test is not the same as the critical pressure measured in a full scale test, which more directly...

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...

Currently plastic pipes and fittings are manufactured by extrusion or injection moulding. However, in certain circumstances there are considerable advantages to be gained by using rotational moulding for these types of products. In particular, rotationally moulded products are stress-free, can have greater than...
