11th Wiesbadener Kunststoffrohrtage (Wiesbaden Plastic Pipe Days)
At the 11th Wiesbadener Kunststoffrohrtage (Wiesbaden Plastic Pipe Days), Dr. J. Hessel presented scientific confirmation of the 100-year service life of polyethylene pressure pipes, emphasizing the importance of standardized welding procedures to ensure quality and durability.
The 11th Wiesbadener Kunststoffrohrtage (Wiesbaden Plastic Pipe Days) took place on April 25-26, 2007. During this event, Dr. J. Hessel gave a presentation titled "100 Jahre Nutzungsdauer von Druckrohren aus Polyethylen - Aussage wissenschaftlich bestätigt". This presentation focused on the long-term testing of butt fusion welds and the evaluation of welded joints through short-term and long-term testing methods. The goal was to ensure the safety and quality of PE100 pipes and harmonize the requirements for welding procedures. This is of great importance for the use of PE pipes in various fields such as water and wastewater pipelines, gas supply, and industrial plants.
