Abstract: This paper is one of a four-part presentation to provide the gas company plastic pipe user with a better understanding of plastic gas piping. This portion of the presentation is concerned with the physical properties of polyethylene resins and their relationship to the mechanical properties of the resulting piping. Included are descriptions of qualification, Quality Control, and Quality Assurance or Acceptance Tests. The paper concludes with the authors recommendation of the minimum level of Acceptance Testing that the user should consider. The physical properties of polyethylene piping materials that directly affect the mechanical behavior of piping made from PE materials are listed in Table 1. The discussion of mechanical properties will include both short- and long-term behavior. Table 2 lists those properties that will be reviewed.
