Title: Plastic Pipe Design Equation Update
Author: Gene Palermo

Year Published: 1997
Abstract: This paper will discuss recent developments of the A.G.A. Plastic Materials Committee (PMC) Plastic Pipe Design Equation task group. A.G.A. will petition the Department of Transportation (DOT) to increase the allowable operating pressure for plastic pipe, and also to increase the design factor from .32 to .40. In addition, the Plastics Pipe Institute (PPI) has two projects affecting the design equation: one to require validation of high temperature ratings for polyethylene (PE) materials, and the other to require ftirther substantiation of PE materials used for gas distribution piping. This paper will provide an update for all four of these projects.
