This part of GB/T 28799 specifies terms and definitions, materials, requirements, test methods, inspection rules, marking, packaging, transport and storage of buried polyethylene (PE) pipes made through extrusion with PE compounds as raw materials and used for supply of gaseous fuels.
This part covers the following types of pipes:
——Solid-wall pipes with single layer;
——Pipes with a peelable thermoplastics protective layer on the outside.
This part is applicable to buried polyethylene (PE) pipes with nominal outside diameter of 16 mm ~ 630 mm made of PE 80 and PE 100 compounds and used for supply of gaseous fuels; the maximum operating pressure (MOP) of the pipes is determined based on the design stress, and taking into account rapid crack propagation (RCP) requirements.
During the transmission of manufactured gas and liquefied petroleum gas, the adverse effects of some components, such as aromatic hydrocarbon and condensed fluid, in gaseous fuels under certain concentration on pipe characteristics shall be considered.
