Long-term behavior of welded joints in large-diameter polyethylene pipes
The development of large-diameter polyethylene pipes and their butt-welding technology requires new testing approaches. With adapted testing methods, creep rupture tests can now be performed on wall thicknesses up to 120 mm, using fewer samples and accounting for the typical fracture behavior of PE welds.
