General

HDPE Pipe Material Advances

Features and Benefits

During the past 40 years or more, since HDPE was first used to manufacture pipes, there have been considerable strides made in improving the quality of material and its long term ability to withstand pressure.

The first SABS specification (SABS 533) made use of a design stress of 5 mPa. This specification has now been superceded by SABS ISO 4427 which covers 3 different material grades viz: PE63, PE80 and PE100. These three material grades have different properties which enable them to be classified with minimum required strengths (MRS) of 6.3 MPa, 8.0 MPa and 10.0 MPa respectively. Applying a design coefficient of 1.25 (safety factor) to the MRS gives the design stress used by SABS ISO 4427 for these materials (5.0 MPa, 6.3 MPa and 8.0 MPa respectively) with the result that the wall thickness for a particular size and class becomes progressively less as the change is made to a material with a higher MRS.

Quality Assurance

Applications

Lamasat International (Z) Ltdhas been a SABS mark holder for over 7 years.

Products are manufactured to the relevant SABS specifications at its plants in Lusaka. Manufacturing facilities conform to the ISO 9001 of 2000 Quality Management system.

Fully audited Quality Control laboratories are operational in Lusaka, where scheduled and random testing of products is carried out.

Lamasat International have for several years been confidently supplying their range of HDPE pipes, Compression fittings and Saddles for successful use in a variety of potable water applications in the Civil, Agricultural, Municipal, Mining and Industrial sectors. Because of the good chemical resistance and abrasion resistance properties they are also extensively used in chemical, waste and slurry applications.

Items Shaded available in SABS ISO 4427

HDS = (Hydrostatic Design Stress), in (MPA), is obtained by applying a design factor of not less than 1.25 to the minimum required strength value of the pipe.Out of Roundness (Ovality) Grade N.Hydrostatic Design Stress.

Pipe Dimensions

In this table it can be seen that SABS ISO 4427 have grouped together the different pressure classes, produced from different material designations, under a common heading known as the Standard Diameter (Dimension) Ratio or SDR. The minimum wall thicknesses specified are not exactly that which would be derived from a calculation using Barlow's formula or the SDR but are the rounded up values of the highest minimum wall thickness calculated for any size and class in the SDR group (see Design Stress and Safety Factor on page 8).

Specifications

The HDPE pipes manufactured by Lamasat International are manufactured to, and carry the SABS mark for, SABS ISO 4427. These pipes are manufactured from three different designated materials viz: PE63, PE80 and PE100.

Physical Properties

Table of Physical Properties

High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is a thermoplastic material which is supplied by the manufacturer in a 'ready to use' pelletised form. There are several different grades available. The particular grades suitable for pipe manufacture are referred to as PE 63, PE 80 and PE100. The pipe manufacturer simply converts this material into pressure pipe.

The properties given below are for HDPE pipe materials. It should be noted that many of these properties are relative to temperature and the duration of stress application.

The internationally accepted method for calculating circumferential hoop stress is derived from Barlow's formula and is as follows:

s = p(d - t)/2t

where: p = internal pressure (MPa) t = minimum wall thickness (mm) d = mean external diameter (mm) s = circumferential hoop stress in wall of pipe (MPa)

The Stress Regression Line for HDPE is given below.

Principal stress/time curves for PE 80 and PE 100 pipes at 20°C and 80°C. The standardcurve for HDPE Type 2 at 80°C (acc. to DIN 8075) is shown in comparison. Theminimum required strength (MRS) at 20°C and 50 years is 10 MPa for PE 100 and8 MPa for PE 80 giving the design stress 8 MPa and 6.3 MPa, respectively.

The Stress Regression Line

The traditional method of portraying the primary mechanical property of HDPE, tensile strength, is by means of a graph of log stress vs log time to failure. This is known as the stress regression line. It is a plot of the circumferential hoop stress in the wall of the pipe (from internal pressure) against time to failure.

Numerous actual test results, measured at 20°C and 60°C, over a range of times up to 10,000 hours, are plotted on a log log scale and a regression line is calculated to fit this data. The resultant regression line is then extrapolated to 50 years (438,000 hours). The method of calculation is an internationally accepted procedure described in ISO/TR 9080. The required values of stress and time are specified in SABS ISO 4427.

Design Stress and Safety

Factor (service factor)

Safety factors take into account handling conditions, service conditions and other circumstances not directly considered in the design.

In terms of SABS ISO 4427 the minimum safety factor is 1.25. This factor, when applied to the Minimum Required Strength (MRS), for the particular material classification (e.g. PE80, PE100), gives the maximum allowable hydrostatic design stress for the designated material.

The relationship between MRS and ó for various design coefficients is as follows at 20°C.

The design engineer may wish to apply a greater safety factor depending on operating conditions and environmental considerations.

Applying Barlow's formula (below) it is possible to calculate the minimum wall thickness for any given size and pressure class of pipe.

t = p x d (2s + p)

where: t = minimum wall thickness (mm) p = internal pressure (MPa) d = mean external diameter (mm) s = design stress (MPa)

For example the minimum wall thickness for a250 mm Class 10 HDPE pipe made from PE 80 material is:

t = 1.0 x 250 / {(2 x 6.3) + 1.0} = 18.38 mm Round up to 18.4 mm for manufacture and/or the appropriate SDR for the Class and Material designation.

Melt Flow Index

Tensile Strength

The Effect of Temperature

Change

The melt flow index of polyethylene materials is a measure of the mass of melted material, at 190°C, that will pass through a specific orifice in 10 minutes when subjected to a specific pressure.

The melt flow index (MFI) is largely dependant on the molecular mass. Higher molecular masses result in lower MFI because long, well packed molecules do not flow as easily as short, less packed molecules.

Since both density and MFI are decisive for the strength properties they are regulated in most standards for polyethylene pipes.

In terms of the SABS specification the Melt Flow Index must conform to the raw material manufacturers pipe grade specification. This information can be obtained from the the raw material manufacturers data sheets.(Also see Table of Physical Properties on page 6)

The tensile strength of polyethylene materials increases with an increase in molecular mass since long, well packed molecules are more difficult to separate.This property is also effectively regulated by standards.(See Table of Physical Properties on page 6)

Working Pressure:

The standard design temperature for HDPE pipes is 20°C and working pressures are usually quoted for this temperature. HDPE pressure pipes function perfectly well below 20°C right down to freezing point and can in fact, withstand higher pressures than those quoted at 20°C. As can be seen from the stress regression lines, the creep rupture strength diminishes with increasing temperature and working pressures must be down-rated if the same factors of safety are to be maintained. The applicable reduction factors are given under “Temperature Considerations” on page 59.

Sub Zero Temperatures:

Water has been known to freeze in HDPE pipes without causing fractures, but permanent strain can result, leading to severe reduction in the working life of the pipe. Hence HDPE pipes - like other pipes - should be protected against sub zero temperatures.

Expansion and Contraction:

All plastics have high co-efficients of expansion and contraction several times those of metals. This must be allowed for in any installation by the use of expansion joints, expansion loops etc.

It should be noted that it is possible to change the impact strength of certain plastic materials, however this usually comes at the expense of properties such as tensile strength, hardness or stiffness. This property is therefore effectively regulated (as with density and MFI) by most standards.

Impact Resistance

Ultra Violet Resistance

Flammability

Abrasion Resistance

HDPE pipes, when manufactured to SABS ISO 4427, contain 2.5% (by mass) of carbon black. This provides exceptional protection against the effects of ultra violet light.

As with impact resistance, it is possible to improve the fire resistance of HDPE by the addition of various compounds. Again this comes at the expense of other properties. Fire resistance is measured by a limiting oxygen index (LOI).

A number of international investigations to assess the abrasion resistance of various plastic materials have been carried out. Generally the results of such investigations are expressed as a loss of volume in relation to the original wall thickness. The results to date have varied in regard to the abrasion resistance of various pipe materials. However, what they all show is that plastics possess superior abrasion resistance relative to other pipe materials.

For example, in one investigation, HDPE pipes suffered wear to the extent of 4mm after 1600 hours while the corresponding wear occurred in steel pipes after 1000 hours.

Jointing

One of the greatest features of HDPE pipes is the fact that a wide variety of jointing systems is available to suit a whole range of applications.The jointing systems can be divided into two main categories with further sub-divisions in each category.

General

The Lamasat System

Butt-fusion jointing is a thermofusion process which involves the simultaneous heating of the ends of two components which are to be joined until a melt state is attained on each contact surface. The two surfaces are then brought together under controlled pressure for a specific cooling time and homogeneous fusion is formed upon cooling.

The resultant joint is resistant to end thrust and has comparable performance under pressure to the pipe.

This method of jointing requires an electrically heated plate to raise the temperature of the pipe ends to the required fusion temperature and isused for PE63, PE80 and PE100 grades of material for pipe of size 32mm and above of the same Standard Dimension Ratio (SDR).

When jointing pipes using butt-fusion techniques, the heater plate temperatures are the same for PE63, PE80 and PE100, 195°C to 200°C.

Note: The Site Fusion Jointing Specification WIS 4-32-08 Issue 2, 1994 emphasises the importance for the butt-fusion machine to be able to control the reduced secondary ram pressures that are now required for dual pressure butt-fusion jointing. For SDR11 pipes of sizes 250mm, 280mm and 315mm and for all pipe (SDRs 11, 17.6, 26) of size 355mm and above the butt fusion pressures should be reduced after 10 seconds and therefore the use of an automatic butt fusion machine is required. (These conditions are tabulated on page 15.)

Depending on the design and make, butt-fusion machines may or may not be capable of accepting fittings as moulded for direct welding to pipes.

Lamasat therefore offers two ranges of fittings for butt-fusion systems to provide the greatest flexibility in this regard :• long spigot fittings• 'pupped' fittings

Pupped fittings are fabricated by butt-fusing (in the factory), 0.5m lengths of pipe to each leg of a spigot fitting, thereby allowing the straight length of pipe to be gripped by clamps of the butt-fusion machine.

The Lamasat butt-fusion system comprises, therefore:• Straight polyethylene pipe• Long spigot fittings• Pupped fittings• Accessories

• Generator to supply the heater plate, trimmer and hydraulic pump• Butt-fusion machine fitted with the correct size clamp shells, trimmer, heater plate, hydraulic pump and timer• Pipe support rollers• Welding tent• Cleaning material, lint free cotton cloth or paper towel• External/Internal debeading tool• Bead gauge• Digital thermometer with surface probe to check heater plate• Pipe end covers• Baseboard• Pipe cutters• Air temperature thermometer• Indelible marker pen• Timer.

Pre-Welding Checks

Before commencing a welding operationcheck that:• There is sufficient fuel for the generator to complete the joint and that it is functioning correctly before it is connected to the machine.• The trimming tool and hydraulic pump are in working order.

Page 15: Properties - Welding - Fittings - Design - Jointing

• The heater plate is clean and residues from previous welds have been removed.• A tent is available to provide shelter during welding.• The machine is complete and undamaged.• You know the correct welding parameters for the machine and pipe being welded.• The heater plate is at the correct temperature. (Connect the heater plate to the power supply and retain for at least 20 minutes inside the thermally insulated guard). To remove dirt deposits the heater plate may be washed, when cold, with copious quantities of clean water at the start of the jointing session. Only clean, lint free materials must be used to clean the plate. To remove grease and oily films the plate may be wiped with lint free material dampened by a suitable solvent, eg. Isopropanol.• Check that the pipes and/or fittings to be jointed are of the same size, SDR and material.

Dummy Welds

Even though washing may remove large deposits of dirt, very fine particles of dust may still remain on the heater plate. To remove such dust it is necessary to make a dummy joint at the start of each jointing session, whenever the plate has been allowed to cool below 180°C, or at a change of pipe size. Two dummy must be made if the pipe size is greater than 180mm.A dummy joint can be made using pipe off cuts of the same size, SDR and material as the pipe being installed. It is not necessary to actually make a joint. The procedure can be discontinued after the full heat cycle.

Manual Welding Procedure

• Place the pipes in the clamps with the ends against the trimming tool and with the pipe markings aligned.• Align and level the components using the support rollers.• Tighten the pipe clamps to grip and re-round the pipes.• Cover the free ends of the pipes to prevent cooling of the plate by internal draughts.• Switch on the trimming tool and close the clamps slowly so that the pipe ends are moved against the trimming tool until continuous shavings are cut from each surface.• Keep the trimming tool turning whilst opening the clamps to avoid steps on the trimmed surfaces.• Remove the trimming tool taking care not to touch the trimmed ends.

• Remove loose shavings from the machine and component ends.

Do not touch the prepared surfaces.

• Check that both surfaces are completely planed. If they are not then repeat the trimming process.• Close the clamps and check that there is no visible gap between the trimmed faces.

• The maximum permitted outsider diameter mismatch is: 1.0mm for pipe sizes 90mm to 315mm 2.0mm for pipe sizes 316mm to 800mm. If the mismatch is greater than these values then the pipe must be realigned and re-trimmed.• Open and then close the clamps and note the drag pressure needed to move the pipes together using the hydraulic system.

Drag pressure is the minimum gauge pressure required to overcome the sliding frictional drag on the rams due to the operation of the machine and the weight of the pipes/fittings being jointed.

Note: The drag pressure (in bar) must be assessed accurately prior to making each fusion joint and must be added to the basic ram pressure values shown on the machine.(When fully automatic machines are used this operation will normally be carried out automatically.)

• Remove the heater plate from its protective cover. Check that it is clean and up to temperature.

• Place the heater plate in the machine and close the clamps so that the surfaces to be joined are touching the plate. Using the hydraulic system apply the pressure previously determined.

• Maintain the applied pressure until the pipe begins to melt and a uniform bead of 2-3mm is formed on each end.

• After the initial bead up, the pressure in the hydraulic system shall be released so that the pressure gauge registers between zero and the drag pressure so as to control the bead growth during the heat soak time. Check that the pipe does not slip in the clamps. The pipe ends must maintain contact with the heater plates.

• When the heat soak time is completed, open the clamps and remove the heater plate ensuring

that the plate does not touch the melted surfaces.• Immediately close the clamps (within 8 to 10 seconds of removing the plate) and bring the melted surfaces together at the previously determined pressure.

• Maintain the required pressure for the minimumcooling time as indicated in the table.

After this time the assembly can be removedfrom the machine but should not be handled for

a further period equal to the above cooling time.• Examine the joint for cleanliness and uniformity

and check that the bead width is within the

specified limits.• Remove the internal beads, if required, using

suitable debeading tools.•

The beads and joint should be numbered/codedusing an indelible marker pen.

The beads will be twisted at several positions.If the bead is seen to split at any point then the

joint must be cut out from the pipeline and the

joint remade. If a similar defect re-occurs, all

further jointing must cease until the equipment

has been thoroughly cleaned, examined and

new trial joints made and shown to besatisfactory.

The Rules of

Butt-Fusion

NEVER•

Attempt to weld together pipes of different SDR(wall thickness).

Touch trimmed pipe ends.• Leave trimming swarf inside pipe or on welding

machine.•

Allow equipment to get wet or dusty.• Use non-approved machinery.• Remove a weld from the machine before cooling

time has elapsed.•

Allow untrained personnel to use weldingequipment.

• Cut corners in any part of the welding procedure.

• Weld pipes of different material on site. (Infactory controlled conditions it may be possible to

do this).• Use a generator of inadequate capacity.

Fittings

Pipe fittings can be manufactured from pipe in a wide variety of sizes and pressure classes but mostly from 75mm OD upwards and Class 6 or higher. The fittings can be plain ended (for butt welding, electrofusion fittings or compression fittings) or have stubs fitted for flanges or Tech Clamps. Permissible working pressure is 60% of class of pipe used to fabricate fitting, e.g. 10 bar pipe produces a 6 bar fabricated fitting.

Buttweld Moulded Fittings

Buttwelding is a very economical and reliable jointing technique for making permanent welded joints, requiring only buttwelding equipment. Buttwelding is particularly suitable for prefabricating pipe sections and special fittings.Both Akatherm fittings with short spigot ends and fittings with long spigot ends are suitable for buttwelding. Only pipes and fittings from the same wall thickness series can be buttwelded together.

Compression Fittings

Lamasat is also a proud supplier of Alprene range of compression and transition fittings. These fittings are available in sizes from 16 - 110mm and have a maximum operating pressure of 16 bar.

Alprene is renowned for quality products and services. Their compression fittings comply with the requirements of a number of South Africa specifications and, in Zambia.

The Alprene fitting design uses the mechanical advantage of the nut thread to place the seal into a compressed position. This means no resistance when inserting the pipe into the fitting, thus eliminating damage or displacement to the seal during installation. Furthermore the fittings have no loose components which can be incorrectly assembled or lost.

Design Considerations

Flow

The flow charts given here have each been calculated for a particular SDR and can therefore by applied to various pressure classes depending on the material designation and design stress. Only sizes covered by SABS ISO 4427 have been included in these charts. The table on the right gives the PN classes (pressure in bar) covered by each SDR.

The nomogram and tables that follow provide a guide to friction losses that can be expected when using clean HDPE pressure pipes with clean water at 20°C. No account has been taken of any possible fittings in a line.

Notes: 1. The colour coding represents the approximate velocity of the water in the size of pipe chosen.2. If two or more size columns have the same colouring then there is a choice of suitable sizes each with its own friction loss value.3. The range of velocities (metres per second) represented by the

How to read the charts:

1. Choose the particular chart for the material designation (PE 100, PE 80, PE 63) and pressure class (PN 16, PN 10 etc.) of pipe being used.2. In one of the first 3 columns find the nearest value of the quantity of water to be pumped. The three columns give the quantity of water in different units.

GPH = Gallons per hour,

m³/hr = cubic metres per hour,

l/s = litres per second.3. Run your eye along the horizontal line found in instruction 2 above until you get to numbers which are shaded light green. The number in the shaded block is the friction loss (expressed in metres per 100 metres) for the size of pipe given at the top of the particular column.4. The reverse sequence

Notes: 1. The colour coding represents the approximate velocity of the water in the size of pipe chosen.2. If two or more size columns have the same colouring then there is a choice of suitable sizes each with its own friction loss value.3. The range of velocities (metres per second) represented by the

How to read the charts:

1. Choose the particular chart for the material designation (PE 100, PE 80, PE 63) and pressure class (PN 16, PN 10 etc.) of pipe being used.2. In one of the first 3 columns find the nearest value of the quantity of water to be pumped. The three columns give the quantity of water in different units.

GPH = Gallons per hour,

m³/hr = cubic metres per hour,

l/s = litres per second.3. Run your eye along the horizontal line found in instruction 2 above until you get to numbers which are shaded light green. The number in the shaded block is the friction loss (expressed in metres per 100 metres) for the size of pipe given at the top of the particular column.4. The reverse sequence

Notes: 1. The colour coding represents the approximate velocity of the water in the size of pipe chosen.2. If two or more size columns have the same colouring then there is a choice of suitable sizes each with its own friction loss value.3. The range of velocities (metres per second) represented by the

How to read the charts:

1. Choose the particular chart for the material designation (PE 100, PE 80, PE 63) and pressure class (PN 16, PN 10 etc.) of pipe being used.2. In one of the first 3 columns find the nearest value of the quantity of water to be pumped. The three columns give the quantity of water in different units.

GPH = Gallons per hour,

m³/hr = cubic metres per hour,

l/s = litres per second.3. Run your eye along the horizontal line found in instruction 2 above until you get to numbers which are shaded light green. The number in the shaded block is the friction loss (expressed in metres per 100 metres) for the size of pipe given at the top of the particular column.4. The reverse sequence

Notes: 1. The colour coding represents the approximate velocity of the water in the size of pipe chosen.2. If two or more size columns have the same colouring then there is a choice of suitable sizes each with its own friction loss value.3. The range of velocities (metres per second) represented by the

How to read the charts:

1. Choose the particular chart for the material designation (PE 100, PE 80, PE 63) and pressure class (PN 16, PN 10 etc.) of pipe being used.2. In one of the first 3 columns find the nearest value of the quantity of water to be pumped. The three columns give the quantity of water in different units.

GPH = Gallons per hour,

m³/hr = cubic metres per hour,

l/s = litres per second.3. Run your eye along the horizontal line found in instruction 2 above until you get to numbers which are shaded light green. The number in the shaded block is the friction loss (expressed in metres per 100 metres) for the size of pipe given at the top of the particular column.4. The reverse sequence

Pressure Considerations

Dynamic

The pressure classes of SABS ISO 4427 HDPE pipes are based on constant internal water pressures. HDPE pipes are however capable of handling dynamic pressure events which exceed the values given by the classes but such occurrences can have a negative effect on the standard 50 year life expectancy and in extreme cases can result in product failure.

Water Hammer

Pipelines may be subjected to short-term increase in pressure above the normal working pressure due to water hammer. Water hammer will occur in a pipeline when its equilibrium is disturbed by rapid changes in flow conditions. Examples of such conditions are: starting and stopping of pumps, rapid opening and closing of valves, pipe failures, etc.

A rapid change in the velocity Äv of water in the pipeline gives rise to a pressure increase Äp according to the formula:

Äp = cÄv/g

Where: c = wave celerity (metres per second) g = acceleration due to gravity

The approximate wave celerities for HDPE pipes are as follows:

Note:1. Since part of the formula for calculating wave celerity incorporates the ratio between diameter and wall thickness (SDR), which is roughly constant for all sizes within a pressure class, the wave celerities are also constant for all sizes within a pressure class.2. By way of comparison the wave celerity for steel pipes is about 3-5 times higher than for HDPE 1000 to 1400 m/s.

Pressure Considerations

Static

s s

The hydrostatic pressure capacity of HDPE pipe is related to a number of variables:• The ratio between the outside diameter and the wall thickness (standard dimension ratio - SDR).• The hydrostatic design stress of the HDPE material being used (PE63, PE 80, PE100).• The operating temperature.• The duration and variability of the stress applied by the internal hydrostatic pressure.• The chemical resistance of the pipe to the chemical being carried (the standard pressure rating is based on a pipe carrying water).

Although HDPE pipe can withstand short-term hydrostatic water pressures at levels substantially higher than the pressure rating, or class, (see “The Stress Regression Line” and “Design Stress and Safety Factor” ) the duty of HDPE pipe should always be based on the pipe's long-term strength at 20°C to ensure a design life of at least 50 years.

As stated earlier, the relationship between the internal pressure, the diameter and wall thickness and the circumferential hoop stress in the pipe wall, is given by the Barlow Formula, which can also be expressed as follows.

or alternatively t = p x d

d (2. + P)

Where: p = internal pressure (MPa) t = minimum wall thickness (mm) d = mean outside diameter (mm)

= circumferential hoop stress (MPa)

These formulae have been standardized for use in design, testing and research and are applicable at all levels of pressure and stress.

For design purposes, p is taken as the maximum allowable working pressure and , the maximum allowable hoop stress at 20°C.

The design hoop stresses used in SABS ISO 4427 are as follows:

It is important to note that the pressure increase due to water hammer in a particular class of pipe is a function of the change in velocity and it is therefore important (for this and other reasons) to keep pumping velocities in a pipeline within the conventional norm of 1 to 2 m/s.

In general, steps should be taken during design and operation to minimize the frequency and intensity of water hammer. However the total pressure may be permitted to reach a value 50% higher than the nominal pressure if the frequency can be described as “occasional”.

Pressure de-rating factors should be applied to HDPE pipes when operating temperatures rise above 20°C. The de-rating factors below are applicable to HDPE:

N.B. The maximum recommended working temperature is 50°C.

At lower temperatures, between 20°C and 0°C, the pressure handling capability does increase but it is recommended that this be ignored. In the unlikely event of water freezing inside an HDPE pipe damage is unlikely to occur. Nonetheless it is recommended that the pipeline system be protected against freezing to obviate flow restrictions.

Due to the relatively high co-efficient of expansion and contraction (given in “Expansion and Contraction” earlier) it is necessary to make allowance for this in any design and installation which is exposed to wide variations of temperature.

Temperature considerations

Effect on Pressure

Effect on Dimensions

HDPE pipes will expand or contract by 0.2mm per metre per °C rise or fall in temperature. A 30°C temperature rise will therefore cause a 36 mm expansion of a 6 metre pipe.

It has been well established by researchers over many years that, for flexible pipes, it is the interaction between the soil and the pipe which has to be considered more extensively than is the case for rigid pipes where the material strength of the pipe is the critical issue. The points discussed here are given as a guide only to good design by the engineer.

The vertical load on a HDPE pipe due to soil is a function of the trench width and depth, the unit weight and type of the soil and the pipe diameter and wall thickness. This loading must generally be corrected for the fact that the soil is cohesive and the side fill reacts with the fill above the pipe. Furthermore flexible pipes deflect and shed load to the side fill. This vertical deflection is limited by lateral soil resistance. The resultant load is therefore less than that which column theory suggests.

The Soil Loading graphs overleaf show that, after initial rapid increases with increased depth, this rate of increase falls away to almost zero at depths of about 6 metres or more. Typical maximum values of soil loads (without live loads) are between 500 and 27000 N/m (for sizes up to 630mm), depending largely on soil type, modulus and pipe stiffness. As soil compaction is increased so the maximum soil load on the pipe reduces, assuming that good backfilling procedures have been followed.

If a 60KN live load is added then the soil load increases dramatically (if compaction is poor but less dramatically if it is good) at shallow depths, but from about 3 metres deep this difference becomes negligible. As can be seen from the Deflection vs Soil Load graph there is a straight line relationship between deflection and soil load for each size and class of pipe. Therefore when the soil load reaches a maximum then the deflection is also at a maximum.

These graphs include the maximum soil loads from the Soil Loading graphs and as can be seen the maximum deflection (for the conditions represented) is less than 2% - for a 630 mm SDR 26 pipe - even with a 60 KN live load. This Deflection vs Soil Loading graph also shows that the small diameter, lower pressure-class pipes (thinner walls) are at the left hand side of the graph and are almost vertical while the bigger diameter, higher pressure class pipes are progressively further right and are not as vertical. Large diameter pipes carry more load because of their greater surface area thicker pipes carry more soil load because it is more difficult to deflect them since less load shedding occurs.

The graphs have been based on calculations using values typical for reasonable backfill material which has been poorly compacted (soil modulus of 3 mPa) and on two scenarios excluding and including a 60 kN live load. Trench widths of 0.4m, 0.6m, 0.7m, 0.8m and 0.9m were used for the following groups of pipe sizes:50mm - 160mm, 200mm - 315mm,355mm - 400mm, 450mm - 500mm and560mm - 630mm. Different soil cover over the pipes were used, varying from 0.9m to 10m. The method of calculation was provided by Professor David Stephenson of Witwatersrand University.

The effect of these loads on HDPE pipes is very similar to that on PVC pipes.

Above Ground installation

For exposed above-ground pipework proper anchorage and support is essential. It must cater for thermal stresses or movement over the ambient temperature range to which the pipe system will be exposed.

Above-ground HDPE systems should preferably be installed at or near maximum operating temperature. This will ensure that the pipe is thermally expanded when clamps or supports are bolted into position and the pipe will be prevented from contracting. Tensile stresses will develop as the pipework cools, and the pipeline will therefore remain straight between supports. When reheated to installation temperature, any sagging will be minimized.

When suspending HDPE pipes the recommended centre distance between supports at 20°C is given

by the graph below. The graph is based on PE 63 material and Classes 6 and 10.

As a rule of thumb the following adjustments can be made for variations in temperature and class.

Reduce the centre distance by 3% for every 10°C increase in temperature. Increase the centre distance by 2.5% for every 10% increase in wall thickness above Class 6.

Pipe clamps used for anchorage and support should have flat, non-abrasive contact faces, or be lined with rubber sheeting and should not be over-tightened. The width of support brackets and hangers should normally be either 100mm or half the nominal pipe diameter, whichever is the greater. Support brackets should allow free axial movement.

Bending

One of the important features of using HDPE pipes is its flexibility.

However it is important that the bending radius at any point should not be less than 20 times the pipe outside diameter when at an ambient temperature of 20°C. When lower temperatures are encountered it is necessary to progressively increase the minimum bending radius by a factor of up to 2.5 times at 0°C.
