Abstract: The information available on compatibility of various polyethylene resins deals mostly with problems related to fusing different polyethylenes together. Although this approach provides essential data for any compatibility study, the availability of the fusion technique alone may not be sufficient for a utility to decide whether using PE piping with two or more sources is practical. This paper attempts to examine the compatibility problem from a utilitys point of view, describing The Consumers Gas Co. philosophy on using two or more polyethylene systems. The results of the tests performed confirm that reliable fusion joints between two different medium density polyethylenes can be made provided that a proper technique is used. It is shown however that equal importance should be attached to the compatibility of fittings and fusion tools.
