Procedure to determine the safety factor of polyethylene pipes under complex Ioad

Looking for safety and illustrates how the safety distance is represented in various fields, including polyethylene pipes, in the double logarithmic time-dependent internal pressure diagram.

The need for safety is expressed in various areas by the "distance" to unwanted events. Examples include the safety distance between vehicles in traffic and the distance between the harmful dose of an additive in food and the 100-fold lower ADI value. For the safety factor of polyethylene pipes, this distance is visualized in the double logarithmic time-dependent internal pressure diagram.
