Abstract: This is the second in a series of papers prepared at the request of the AGA-PMC to educate the US gas distribution industry on the history and benefits of PE100 polyethylene resins for gas piping applications. (1) In this paper, we will explore the fundamental differences between a PE100 and a PE3408 polyethylene resin for gas distribution pipe production. Inherent in this discussion will be a brief overview of the standards and protocol by which both materials are defined and how these relate to the usage of each material in gas distribution applications. The discussion shall conclude with a direct comparison of typical PE3408 to PE100 on the basis of the physical properties of the two and the performance guidelines and limitations of both. From this paper the reader should develop a clear understanding of the differences and similarities of these two materials and how they are utilized in the gas distribution industry.
