Alternative Jointing Techniques for Small Diameter PE Pipe: Final Report

This resource links to a document we hold in our system

Abstract:

This document is a closedown report for the project titled 'Alternative Jointing Techniques for Small Diameter PE Pipe'.

The primary objectives of this stage are to:
  1. Conduct a gap analysis to compare the requirements of Standards that selected fittings conform to, with the requirements of established UK Gas Industry Standards.
  2. Demonstrate, under laboratory conditions, the assembly of all mains-to-meter mechanical fittings from 4 different manufacturers and compare against a conventional electrofusion mains-to-meter assembly.
  3. Undertake laboratory tests of selected fittings for both leak tightness and pull-out resistance.
  4. Undertake a cost benefit analysis and undertake field observations.
