HDPE pipe is a type of plastic pipe that’s used to transfer fluids and gases. HDPE pipe (which stands for high-density polyethylene pipe) comes with many benefits: it is resistant to corrosion, flexible, has a long service life, comes with leak-free joints, is highly adaptable, includes trenchless installation, can be used for pipeline rehabilitation, and is eco-friendly.
ANSI B16.5 is the standard for pipe flanges and flanged fittings. This standard is widely used across various industries and is an essential part of piping systems design. It provides detailed specifications for materials, dimensions, tolerances, and marking requirements for flanges and flanged fittings. ANSI B16.5 has been recognized as a reliable standard by many organizations, such as ASME, API, and ASTM.
Flange dimensions are determined by the pipe size and the pressure class required for the application. Flanges are standardized according publications from organizations like ASME, MSS, API and others
The materials and installation methods used to install pipe have evolved considerably over time; beginning with wood, terracotta tile, cast concrete, iron pipe, and galvanized steel, bringing us to today with the material of choice being thermoplastics. Beginning in the 1960s, the two primary thermoplastic materials used in extrusion, the process used to manufacture pipe, have been HDPE and PVC (polyvinylchloride).
SDR is defined as the ratio of the nominal outside diameter to the nominal wall thickness. SDR = dn/en Where dn is the nominal outside diameter of the pipe and en is the nominal (minimum) wall thickness of the pipe. Therefore a higher SDR indicates a thinner-walled pipe at any given diameter.
Butt fusion involves the simultaneous heating of the ends of two pipe/fitting components which are to be joined, until a molten state is attained on each contact surface. The two surfaces are then bro
In this work, we analyzed the factors affecting the tensile experimental results of thermoplastic polyethylene pipes, which included the ambient temperature and tensile test speed. The results indicat
