Abstract: Public Service Electric and Gas Company supplies natural gas to approximately 1.3 million customers in its 2,300 square mile service territory through 12,00 miles of main. Of thai total approximately 200 miles are plastic. This company began the use of plastic in the mid 1960: on a limited basis. its use has grown steadily to the point where it is now used for 80 percent of our installations. In 1978, over 500,000 feet of plastic mains, mostly 2 IPS, were installed. The material used is Driscopipe 7000 manufactured by Philips Products Co., Inc., a subsidiary of Philips Petroleum Company. For those people not familiar with this product, it is a PE3406. ultra high molecular weight, high density polyethylene. Until the change in the federal codes, our standards were to use SDR 9:33 for all high pressure installations. With the recent code change, company standards have been revised and we now use SDR 11.
