Assessing the remaining service lifetime of PE pipes: an australian case study

Nolene Byrne, Rasike De Silva, Keith Lenghaus, Tim Hilditch

Papers # 2018 Las-Vegas

Plastic pipes have been utilized in the Australian gas distribution network since the early 1970s. The most common plastic type found in Australia is polyethylene (PE), although nylon is extensively used in New South Wales. Early installation of PE pipe was completed using the first generation high density type PE50 and PE63 which has an estimated service life of 50 years. A key issue facing pipeline assets owners and operators is knowledge of the actual remaining lifetime of in-service pipes and the impact external factors may have on the lifetime. External factors can include both regional environmental conditions and typical service usage conditions. In this current study we will detail the influence of the regional location on the remaining service lifetime by determining the depletion rate of the antioxidant package and show that this linked to the slow crack growth performance of PE resin.

Easy Branches : Avoid Pressure Derating for Fabricated Tees in Your Pipe System

Robert Eckert

Papers # 2014 Chicago

New types of saddle fittings enable convenient and economic ways of installing branches or vents on PE pipes. In conjunction with a gate valve, branches can even be installed without disrupting service, by “hot tapping” the main pipe. In addition, pipes with localized damage such as excessively deep scratches or scoring in the pipe wall, or even penetration damage, can be repaired using repair patches – without removing the damaged section and laboriously installing a new length of pipe.

POLYETHYLENE OF RAISED TEMPERATURE (PE-RT) IN LOW TEMPERATURE DISTRICT HEATING SYSTEMS

Alex Stolarz, Klaus Grønnegaard Lauridsen

# 2021 Amsterdam

Low temperature District Heating – COOL DH – addresses the challenges of the upcoming decades in the energy sector for new housing developments. Energy efficiency is an important aspect of modern building construction. Improved building insulation and other technologies result in lower heat demand and enable new developments in heating systems like district heating. The project has gone an innovative path and developed pre-insulated pipe systems that operate at lower temperature – thus being more economical, effective and sustainable than conventional high temperature district heating systems – to address these new challenges. New materials such as PE-RT resins are explored in this segment that offer new installation techniques and allow for the first time the use of welding technologies in a wider scale in this industry sector. Resin capability is explained and explored, and the case study of this project is explained addressing challenges of modern energy management.

TESTING AND EVALUATION OF NANOADDITIVES IN U-PVC PIPES

TESTING AND EVALUATION OF NANOADDITIVES IN U-PVC PIPES

Boccaleri, L. Palin, G. Rombolà, M. Milanesio

# 2021 Amsterdam

In the last decades, research on nanostructured materials as additives for plastics involved several polymeric matrices, but only limited studies and publications involve PVC. In this work, the context of rigid application of PVC (U-PVC) for pipes application was targeted, in order to test and evaluate the structural and functional role of different nano additives on the final properties of the materials. The goals of the study were focused on industrial needs and was carried on involving seven relevant PVC pipe producers in Italy within a 3-year study. To match the needs of producers and compounders, two conventional rigid U-PVC formulations for water distribution and sewage (see table 1) were modified with nanomaterials in variable amounts from 0.31 to 2.5 phr. Nano additives were selected considering their commercial availability in industrial quantities, and materials processing was based on pilot-scale machinery fully compliant with production plant equipments.

The study highlights the capability of nanostructured additives to dramatically change the properties of polymeric matrices with added quantities lower than 2.5 phr. The most striking improvements were observed in the mechanical performances, where an enhancement in rigidity and a simultaneous increase in tensile strength and elongation (i.e. nano reinforcement) were found. As well, tests related to thermal stability, gelification and internal stress were carried on and related to the composition.
