Abstract:

The corrugated High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) pipe industry would like to consider the responsible use of recycled materials in their pipe production and also in their pipe standards. However, one of the key concerns is what would be the effect of the recycled materials on the life of the HDPE corrugated pipe. Since the demonstrated long-term field failure mode for HDPE corrugated pipe is Slow Crack Growth (SCG), a test method has been developed for corrugated HDPE pipe samples that results in laboratory SCG failures that are the same as the field SCG failures. By applying the mathematical modeling techniques of the Rate Process Method (RPM) on laboratory SCG data obtained on pipe ring samples at multiple temperatures and multiple pressures, one can project the life of corrugated HDPE pipe. Once one knows the RPM performance of control HDPE corrugated pipe made by a pipe manufacturer, one can then determine the effect of recycled materials on life performance by conducting a similar RPM experiment on the same pipe produced with the recycled materials. This report will explain the pipe ring test method, compare SCG failure modes of laboratory data with field failures, describe use of RPM methodology on the laboratory SCG data, and compare RPM life projection of control HDPE corrugated pipe with RPM life projections of HDPE corrugated pipe made with recycled materials, to then determine the effect of recycled materials on life projections of HDPE corrugated pipe.
