Abstract: THE announced Research Program for 1970 on Improved Plastic Pipe sponsored by the American Gas Association has, as its prime objective, improvement in the technology for the safe, reliable and economical use of plastic piping systems in natural gas applications. The scope of the continuation program will be to encourage cooperative efforts between the natural gas industry and material suppliers, piping systems fabricators and standard organizations for 1. The development of improved piping characteristics, including higher longterm strength, better impact resistance and better chemical resistance 2. The study of failure as related to (a) Material, fabrication and use (b) Composition, molecular structure, and chemical changes in materials 3. The development and/or improvement of test methods 4. The evaluation and development of effective joining methods. In order to meet these overall objectives of the program for the year, the laboratory pipe evaluation studies included the continuation of long-term stress-rupture material investigations and the evaluation of various short-term test methods: impact resistance, tensile, burst, and chemical resistance, particularly as each is related lo the effect of condensate vapor. In addition investigations related to fracture behavior of both PVC and PE were continued as well as the joining studies initiated in 1969.
