Abstract
An experimental evaluation of the decrease in actual physical and mechanical characteristics of low pressure polyethylene (HDPE) pipes depending on the duration and conditions of their operation has been conducted. To assess the impact of operational factors on the pipe characteristics, the following parameters were determined: tensile elongation and tensile strength, thermal stability (induction period of oxidation (IPO) of the material), and degree of crystallinity. It was found that, after prolonged operation of HDPE pipes compared to the initial normative values, the most significantly affected parameters are the tensile elongation and the induction period of oxidation. Moreover, the changes in tensile elongation and IPO parameters have a similar nature in terms of the loss of properties, indicating a correlation between them. The most sensitive indicators for predicting the service life of HDPE pipes are the tensile elongation and the induction period of oxidation. On the basis of the data obtained, it seems promising to monitor the IPO value when determining the technical condition of polyethylene pipes. A calculated forecast of the service life of polyethylene pipes based on reaching their ultimate state has been performed.
期刊介绍:
Inorganic Materials: Applied Research contains translations of research articles devoted to applied aspects of inorganic materials. Best articles are selected from four Russian periodicals: Materialovedenie, Perspektivnye Materialy, Fizika i Khimiya Obrabotki Materialov, and Voprosy Materialovedeniya and translated into English. The journal reports recent achievements in materials science: physical and chemical bases of materials science; effects of synergism in composite materials; computer simulations; creation of new materials (including carbon-based materials and ceramics, semiconductors, superconductors, composite materials, polymers, materials for nuclear engineering, materials for aircraft and space engineering, materials for quantum electronics, materials for electronics and optoelectronics, materials for nuclear and thermonuclear power engineering, radiation-hardened materials, materials for use in medicine, etc.); analytical techniques; structure–property relationships; nanostructures and nanotechnologies; advanced technologies; use of hydrogen in structural materials; and economic and environmental issues. The journal also considers engineering issues of materials processing with plasma, high-gradient crystallization, laser technology, and ultrasonic technology. Currently the journal does not accept direct submissions, but submissions to one of the source journals is possible.
