The Way

This aim of this paper is to perform a study on the way the material of the fittings that can be welded through eletrofusion on polyethylene pipes withstands. The process is observed by means of the thermal and fast cameras. Also we intend to analyze the way the assembly consisting of the polyethylene fitting and pipe behaves during welding. The stresses caused by the welding process are observed, as well as the concurrent welding of the tapping tee and the branch saddle tee.

Combined Action

Polymer pipes are being widely used by many industrial segments. Although not affected by corrosion, the mechanical performance of these pipes can be reduced due to exposure to temperature, UV radiation and by contact with various fluids. Depending on the deterioration process, embrittlement or plasticization may occur, and the service life of the pipe can be severely reduced. In this work, the combined action of temperature and water upon the mechanical performance of polyamide 12 and high-density polyethylene pipes is evaluated. Destructive and non-destructive techniques were used and the performance of both materials was compared. Both polymers were platicized by the effect of water. However, for high density polyethylene the effect of temperature was more relevant than for polyamide. This behavior was attributed to the dependence of the free volume with the markedly different glass transition temperature of the polymers and the temperatures of testing.

Buried parallel pipes are used for storm retention systems. Traditional retention-detention systems have spaced parallel pipes that permit soil columns between pipes. A new design allows for the parallel pipes to be placed side by side in contact with each other. The performance of such a system of bundled high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes that is subjected to vertical earth loads is reported. This bundled system consists of parallel HDPE pipes wrapped with a geogrid and a geofabric. The actual loads ranged from shallow cover to vertical loads equivalent to 55 ft (16.8 m) of cover. The embedment soil selected for the research was a silty sand. This soil was selected because its structural qualities are generally considered to be the least acceptable for these types of applications. The soil that typically would be specified is a crushed stone. Therefore, the results from the tests are conservative. Structural performance is reported, and photographs present the pipes in the bundled system during installation and after subjection to earth loads. Load-deflection curves for the pipes in the system are also given.
