In this study, structural stability of large diameter high density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe during installation was numerically investigated in order to investigate the effect of concrete collar dimension, water depth and tension (pulling force). From the numerical simulation results, the total stress of HDPE pipe with designed concrete collar was within 2.5%, so the total weight of concrete collar for sinking of HDPE is important rather than concrete collar dimension. Furthermore, the tension area for possible installation is decreased as the air filling rate is increased. Therefore, it is important to calculate the reasonable tension range before actual installation for safe installation of HDPE pipe.

고강도/연성소재이면서 화학적으로 안정된 폴리에틸렌 소재가 배관으로 양산되면서 수도용 및 산업용으로 그 사용이 확산되고 있다. 최근에는 국내 플랜트에서도 기존 주철배관의 부식 누설 해소방안으로 고밀도 폴리에틸렌 배관이 사용되고 있는데, 각각의 플랜트 설계조건 및 운전조건을 적절히 고려하지 않을 경우 고밀도 폴리에틸렌 배관은 물리적인 손상이 유발될 수 있다. 폴리에틸렌 소재의 대구경 배관을 플랜트에 적용함에 있어 관련기준 및 설치 경험사례를 고찰한 결과, 수충격이 발생되는 환경에서 균열손상 가능성이 있어 폴리에틸렌 배관을 대구경 배관으로 사용시주의가 필요하다고 판단된다.

The welding characteristics of polyethylene pipe for gas varying temperature and pressure is analyzed in this study. The analysis is very important to studying the weldability of PE pipe as well as is useful for its welding data. The specimens have the same welding conditions. Experimental data of the bead width, height and thickness for PE welding are measured with tool projector, Experimental results for PE welding Indicated that temperature more than pressure have influence on the weldability. It was confirmed that optimal PE welding within the limits of $210^{\circ}C$ and 15kg/$cm^2$ have high welding performance in comparison with other conditions. These results are very important to improve the safety and to reliable welding components of PE gas pipe.

본 연구는 현재 사용하고 있는 소방용 배관의 부식으로 인하여 발생하는 수계소화설비의 문제를 해결하기 위하여 개발한 Polyethylene (PE) 이종강관을 수계소화설비배관으로 적용할 수 있는지를 파악하기 위한 실제 화재시험을 수행하였다. 개발된 이종배관에 대한 관련시험기준이 없어 국내외 기술자료 및 시험기준을 비교분석하여 적합한 화재시험기준을 선정하여 PE 이종강관의 성능을 분석하였다. 따라서 본 배관의 성능시험에 채택한 화재시험기준은 합성수지배관과 금속배관의 두 가지의 화재시험기준을 적용하였고 총 6차례의 화재실험을 실시하여 배관성능을 평가하였다. 소방용합성수지배관의 시험기준을 적용한 1, 2차의 화재시험결과 이음쇠와 배관에서 파손이나 변형이 없었으며 5분간 내압시험을 실시한 결과에서도 누수가 없었다. 금속배관시험기준을 적용한 화재실험은 총 4회를 실시하였으며 1, 2차 실험은 습식설비를 모사한 것으로 화재시험결과는 PE 이종강관에서 누설이나 파열이 발생하지 않았으며 또한 PE 재질의 이탈 등 손상이 발생되지 않음을 확인하였다. 단, 건식설비를 모사한 3, 4차의 화재시험결과 소화수가 방출되기 이전에 PE 이종강관에서 파열, 변형 등의 손상이 발생하였다. 따라서 실험결과 습식설비를 모사한 화재시험의 경우 PE 이종강관의 융착성, 변형, 파손 등 배관의 성능에 이상이 없음을 확인하였다.

폴리에틸렌 코팅 가스배관의 결함탐상을 위해 광범위 비파괴탐상기법인 유도초음파를 적용하였다. 가스배관의 내경은 190.7mm, 두께는 5.3mm, 그리고 바깥 표면은 $1.9{\pm}0.5mm$의 폴리에틸렌 층으로 코팅되어 있다. 폴리에틸렌 코팅 배관의 외면에 0.5MHz 탐촉자와 가변각 웨지를 사용하여, 비축대칭 유도초음파를 가진 시켰다. 주파수와 위상속도 조정을 통하여 가스배관의 결함 탐상을 위한 적절한 모드를 찾아내고, 모드의 특성을 단시간 퓨리어 변환을 이용하여 분석하였다. 결함탐상 결과를 두께 손실 및 원통형 관통결함에 대한 인위결함에 대해 나타내었다. 그리고 가스배관에 인위적으로 삽입한 두께 손실과 원통형 관통결함에 대한 검출 성능을 평가하였다.

In many cases, the field fracture mechanism of the thermoplastic pipe is considered as either brittle or environmental fractures. Thus the estimation of the lifetime by modeling slow crack growth considering such fracture mechanisms is required. In comparison of the some conventional and empirical equations to explain the slow crack growth rate such as the Paris' law, the crack layer theory can be used to simulate the crack and process zone growth behaviors precisely, so the lifetime of thermoplastic pipe can also be accurately estimated. In this study, the modified crack layer theory for the stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of high density polyethylene is introduced with detailed algorithm. The oxidation induction time of the HDPE is also considered for the reduction of specific fracture energy during exposed to chemical environments. Furthermore, the parametric study for an important SCC parameter is conducted to understand the slow crack growth behavior of SCC.

At present the Polyethylene piping, on supporting LNG is widely used because of it's disposition which are anti-corrosion flexible and so on. However, it has a few kinds of risk which are the possibility of piping leak, the character of easily corroded and so on. For giving solution, this study is intended to experiment the intension of the PE pipe after melted and when it is melting, the condition which are temperature and pressure is changed. the melting condition in temperature and pressure is adapted identically. After melting, it's joint is tested as intension. The result is that the effect of temperature in intension is more effective than pressure. In $210^{\circ}C$, $20kg/cm^{2}$ condition, the melting intension has the highest. Compare to the Butt melting joint and the Saddle melting joint, the former was $214kg/cm^{2}$ and the latter was $50kg/cm^{2}(bead\;2{\sim}3mm)$ and $73kg/cm^{2}(bead\;5{\sim}7mm)$. It means that the Butt melting method has more intensive than saddle. Consequently, the result shows that the liability and safety when pipe melting method is used will improve in pipe installation.

Welding defects affect the performance of welded pipe joints. In this study, a three point bend test of welded steel and medium density polyethylene (MDPE) pipe joints with defects of various defect locations and defect materials was studied using the finite element method. The defect was assumed to be located at 12 o'clock, 3 o'clock or 6 o'clock direction. The results showed that pipes failed more easily on the compression side due to stress or local buckling. The air defect was more dangerous than the steel defect if the defect was located in the compression side; otherwise, the defect material effect on the integrity of pipes was ignorable. It is argued that the integrity of pipes with defects in the compression side is weaker than that in other regions, and the defect should be located in the compression side or the 12 o'clock position in the three point bend test to maximize the effect of defect existence on the pipe structural integrity.

It is expected that the size of welding defect affects the mechanical performance of welded medium density polyethylene (MDPE) pipe joints. In this study, butt fusion welded MDPE pipe joints with a single spherical or planar defect of various sizes were studied using experimental crush testing and also by finite element method. The crush test showed that the mechanical performance of crush was not affected by the size and geometry of a single welding defect when the defect size was increased to 45% of the pipe's wall thickness. The simulation results indicated that the effect of the single welding defect on the Von Mises stress distribution near the defect explained the reason of the test results.
