Abstract: The Third A.G.A. Plastic Pipe Symposium provided a forum for the exchange of information on the application and installation of plastic piping systems for natural gas distribution in this country, Canada and western Europe. During the three-day program, over 300 attendees heard 23 voluntary speakers, representing resin suppliers and extruders from the plastic pipe industry, as well as users from the gas industry, present technical papers covering six areas of current interest in gas pressure piping applications for plastics: 1. Manufacturing methods for pipe & fittings 2. Material selection 3. Service life prediction 4. Quality control and inspection methods 5. Joining methods 6. Utilization applications. Several stimulating questions were raised at the symposium by challenging speakers who recommended that more attention be directed to such vital performance-related factors in plastic piping systems as current methods of predicting long-term strength, the design of couplings and fittings and the evaluation of joining methods used in connecting plastic pipe and fittings.
