Abstract: Polyethylene (PE) pipe has been successfully used by the gas industry for more than three decades for applications ranging from low pressure transmission pipeline to residential distribution lines. PE materials have become the material of choice for new and replacement installations. The standard method for joining PE pipe is butt fusion for larger sizes and electrofusion fittings for smaller diameters, including service lines. Although considered to be a small number, some companies opt to use socket fusion in some cases. As in any pipeline application, the quality of the joints greatly affects the overall operational integrity of the system. While failures of PE systems such as fusion joint failures are fortunately infrequent, the consequences of a pipeline or fitting failure can be severe.
