Formation Mechanism of the Eigen-line in Electrofusion Joints of Polyethylene Pipes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Cold welding is the most dangerous defect in the electrofusion joint of polyethylene (PE) pipes. A proprietary method was developed to detect the degree of cold welding by using an Eigen-line, ...
Development of Nondestructive Test and Safety Assessment of Electrofusion Joints for Connecting Polyethylene Pipes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Polyethylene (PE) pipes are widely used in transporting natural gas since 1960s. However, there are few published literatures on method for safety assessment of PE pipes. This paper introduces ...
A Model for Predicting Temperature of Electrofusion Joints for Polyethylene Pipes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: With the increasing application of electrofusion (EF) welding in connecting polyethylene (PE) pipes for gas distribution, more effort has been invested to ensure the safety of the pipeline ...
