    PE Liner Pull Force at Expansion Loop / Curve Portions?

    We use polyethylene (HDPE-100 Grade)pipes as internal corrossion protection for carbon steel pipes in water injection and crude oil applications. I would like to know what will be pull force at expansion loops / curves while pulling PE Liner from one end to other end. Is Capstan Effect formula...

    NDE Tests for Joints of HDPE Pipe and Fittings

    Hi! I would like to know the importance of NDE (UT & RT) tests in HDPE Pipes and fittings joined by butt-fusion, extrusion or electrofusion methods? Is it necessary to check the all joints with NDE testing when joining method followed based on standard parameters (like fusion material, temp...

    Thermal Stability of HDPE Pipe?

    Dear Pat, The test used to know the oxidation stability of material at process parameters (190 - 220 Deg.C). During processing at that temperaure material exposed to oxygen with ambient atmosphere at different phases. So,it should not get oxidized easily. For that antioxidants used by material...

    Thermal Stability of HDPE Pipe?

    Dear Sirs, Is Thermal Stability required more than 150 minutes for a HDPE Pipe at 200 Deg.C? ASTM D 3895 - 07 mentioned Oxidatin Induction Time (OIT) for HDPE material / pipe is more than 150 minutes at 200 Deg.C, Whereas all other internaltional standards ISO 4427, EN 12232 etc, giving OIT for...

    HDPE Stub End Design in PE Lined Carbon Steel Spools for Oil & Energy

    Hi James, Thansk for your response. The application is in PE pipelining for carbons steel spools. PE lining used as corression protection purpose. so, the pressure will be taken care by CS pipe and pressure varies from 30 bar to 100 bar based on application & CS pipe. Evnthough for design of...

    HDPE Connection Methods

    If the pipe size is 0.75", you can get 1500 feet in a sigle roll, in fact upto 3300 feet also can give in a sigle roll. Ask your manufactuerer's to provide the total quantity in a single roll, if it is possible you may not have other problems.

    HDPE Pipe Faiure at Low Pressure

    Dear Demon, Thanks for your message. We would like to inform you that there was no scratches on failed pipe surface and it's new pipeline. There was no dimensional defect for the pipe. The design pressure was 16 bar and field testing pressure was 1.25 x DP (i.e 20 bar). Due to high temperature...

    HDPE Pipe Faiure at Low Pressure

    Dear Sirs, When we were conducting field pressure testing for 110mm SDR11 HDPE Pipe, it was failed at low pressure i.e 3.0 bar during pressuization. The test pressure was 12.0 bar for 4 hours according to pressure reduction factors with temprature. The temprature was around 50 Deg.C during...
