WHAT IS POLYETHYLENE The polyethylene is thermoplastic matter which was produced with polymerization of
the ethylene (C2H4), unsaturated hydro carbonate, in normal circumstances it is a gas. Structure of the ethylene molecule
Polymerization is establishing connections between ethylene molecules in long range and it forms hard compound called polymer.
Molecules are forming polymers and can be less or more expanded, shorter or longer, closed together or separated. These characteristics are giving the main features of the polyethylene:
• Density (depends of the distance between the molecules) • Molecular weight (depends of the length) • Molecular weight distribution (depends of the distance between the molecules
and the length)
DEVELOPMENT OF THE POLYETHYLENE
For the first time the polyethylene was produced in England in 1939, when was build the first factory for production of polyethylene. Its first usage was as a material for isolation and protection of high-frequent cables during the Second World War. After the war its usage is increasing and many other features have been discovered.
Since 1954 the method of Zigler has been used for production of polyethylene. Simultaneously has been developed the method of Philips. T

After that the polyethylene started to be used in packaging industry, and later in agriculture industry (for irrigation pipes, system drop by drop), in water supply systems (regional and community), in systems for transportation of gas, for protection of optical cables, in chemical industry and in the sewerage systems.
For the first time PE material used for pipes was PE with low density (LDPE) with
MPC from 3.2 MPA (PE 32). In the latest 50-ies it was presented polyethylene with high density (HDPE) with MPC
6.3 MRS (minimum required strength). This was turn over in the usage of the polyethylene for higher pressures for reduction
of the thickness of the wall. As a result of the further development of the PE material in the last few years the features of PE pipes and fittings are being improved.
These days the polyethylene (PE) is not classified according its density (LDPE,
MDPE, HDPE), but there are several classes now (PE 63, PE 80, PE 100). New polyethylene class PE 100 The newest development of polyethylene is the third generation of HDPE, which is
qualified as PE 100. These materials are also described as MPC 10 materials. This is a new development of the polyethylene which with modified polymerization
process. However PE 100 has the highest density and according to this also has improved
mechanical features as increased squeeze and hardness. Consequently to this, this material is appropriate for production of hoses and pipes under pressure with big diameters and in comparison with PE 80has smaller thickness of the wall.

BEHAVE ON ABRASIVE FLUIDS Basically, thermoplastic pipes are better for transportation of liquid with hard particles
than cement or steel pipes.
We have positive experience of this use. By development method of Darmstadt, 1 m
long pipe is curled with frequency of 018 Hz. Local decrease of the wall after the loading
is taken as abrasive unit. Advantages of thermoplastic pipes for transportation of
mixtures with hard particles into open canal can be seen by the test:
Also other test shows that when the media is pumped through pipe, possibility to
check behave on abrasive of that kind of system is to determine time to appearance on
the hole. As it can be seen by the diagram, thermoplastic pipes (in this case PE pipes in
combination with PP pipes - gives same or better results) are given with all advantages
according with steel pipes.
For transporting of dry abrasive fluids, only electro conductive materials can be used
cause of electrostatic possibility (PE, PP-R-S, PP-R).
ABRASIVE BEHAVE ACCORDING DARMSTADT METHOD
UV RESISTANCE Polyethylene pipes are UV protected as a result of content of UV stabilizer - active
smoke with quantity max. 2,5%.
Media: Soil, sand - gravel, water - mixture 46 vol % soil, sand - gravel, dimension of particle to 30 mm.
Abrasion time of HDPE and steel elbows for different radius depends on portion of the hard phase.

The pipes made of PE may be rolled up in contour with big pulleys, they can be
easily curved because of their flexibility, and as a result of that the time needed for
installation of fittings and the time needed for installation is decreasing.
Thanks to the small weight, the pipes are easy for handling and they reduce the
transport costs. PE pipes ensure the most economic salvation for certain work and long-
lasting usage.
In our country the usage of PE pipes started before 10 years. At the first time they
were used in the agriculture, and then in the latest years their usage is being more
intensive especially on the field of water supply systems. The industrial complexes use
them because of their resistance on chemicals.
GEMA PLAST – KM from Gevgelija is the only firm with its presence on the market
with pipes from the latest generation of polyethylene PE 100 which enable thinner wall of
the pipes and also increasing the strait for 33% and working pressures to 32 bars.
They are corrosion-resistant which enables long lasting.
In the last 5 years they are used in Macedonian Telecommunications, through the
pipe for protection of optical cable.
Gas pipes are satisfying every regulations and standards. This technology enables
reconstructions of old pipes without addition digging, simply through the old systems
without any decrease of the passage of the pipe.

PRODUCTION METHODS
PE pipes are produced by the method of extrusion. Through the hole, material is
putted into the extruder. Main parts of the extruder (1) are: Input hole (2), cylinder of the
extruder that is heated by the heaters (3). With the motor (4) rolling of the “snail” (5) and
material is possible. The “snail” is separated on a few zones where the material is
heating, melting and compressing. After that, the material comes to the “head” of the
extruder (6) and with appropriate tool (7), the material is modeling, in this case in pipe.
Than the pipe pass into vacuum (8) and water (9) tube where the final modeling is made.
After that with pull-device (10) the final line is pull out. The final operation is cutting or
rolling of the pipe (11).

Defining of section on pipe Next processes are calculated by the formulas: For fluids with constant volume passage:
V - Volume passage (m3/x) A - Free section on pipe (mm) ν - Speed of flowing (m/s)
For materials in condition on gas and condensation, the material passage is
constant and the formula is:
A - Material passage ν - Consistence on medium depend p - Pressure and temperature (kg/x)
If the constant values in these formulas will be added together, all formulas that are in real use for calculation of needed section of the pipe are:
di - Internal diameter of pipe (mm) Q’ - Escorted quantity amount (m3/x) Q’’ - Escorted quantity amount (1/s) v - Speed on flowing (m/s)
Referent values for calculation of flowing speed can be for fluids:
v ~ 0,5 - 1,0 m/s (for sucking); v ~ 0,5 - 1,0 m/s (for pressure)

BASIC CALCULATIONS Calculation of hydraulic shocks In case the flowing speed thought the pipe unexpectedly to be changed, as a result
of closing the valve or stopping of pump, also internal pressure of the pipe is changed. In that case the Bernoulli’s formula can’t be changed. These unexpected changes are known as hydraulic shocks. For pipes that are closer to the tank (having permanent level), where the passage is controlled by valve located on distance L of the tank, whole pressure generated of unexpected stop on valve, influence on relation of working time of the valve t, and time u. This is time that wave of pressure to come to the position of valve after the jump from the tank. This time is calculated by the formula:
U - Phase of shock a - transmission of the wave to whole pipe, and it is given by the formula:
Where: d - Internal diameter of pipe (mm) s - Thickness of the wall of pipe (mm) g - Gravitation acceleration Ew - Module of water flexibility = 2,1 GPa Epe - Module of PE flexibility = 0,8 GPa ε - Specific weight of water = 1000 kg/m3 f - = 1,23 for free pipe and f =1 for connected pipe µ - Posen’s coefficient. In this case PE=0,4
CALCULATION OF HYDRAULIC LOSE In pipes, next reasons can cause lose and consequent energy loses through the
transport system. • Length of the pipe line • Diagonal section on straight pipeline • Roughness of the pipe • Quality of the fittings, installation and quality of connections • Viscosity and density of the flowing media • Type of flowing (laminate or turbulence) Calculating of loses on pressure is result of sum of all pressures in the pipe:

In the table below are shown resistant coefficients of the fittings for small diameter
pipes. Coefficient is increasing as the pipe’s diameter. Precisions calculating can be found in the literature.
∆ρF - Loses of pressure by the installation λ - Resistant coefficient ρ - Density of the media (kg/m3) ν - Speed of flowing
Depending of construction and nominal value of installation, resistant coefficient is between 0,5 and 5,0. If usually used Kv-value of installation is known, loses of pressure can be calculated with:

Possible failures and reasons for their appearance
TESTING UNDER PRESSURE All welded joints should be completely
cold before testing under pressure (in principle 1 hr after the last weld).
Testing under pressure should be
undertaken in compliance to the valid standard regulations (VS 2210 part 1, DVGW work list w 210).
Thus, the maximal pressure applied
here is 1.5 h PH, where no leakage should occur during testing (at least 10 minutes).
The pipe system should be protected
from environmental temperatures changes (UV radiation).
Failure Appearance Possible reasons
INSUFFICIENT FUSION
Low temperature of heating plate, great amount of high pressure resulting in material pressing out
Crack inside the welding area
Pipe overheating or overloading prior the required cooling time
Hole within the fusion area
Insufficient joining pressure or too short pressure action

Supports are easily fitted and fixed to PP-R as well as metal pipes. In open space installation elongation has to be taken into consideration even during pipeline designs. Pipe cons a way to allow elongation and unobstructed movement of pipe within the elongation calculation values….
Only two simple options can be considered regarding compensation modification of length.
ELASTIC ARC MODIFICATION
In most cases the change of direction can be used to compensate the elongation. The distance to the fixed support, i.e. to the pipe bending end (bracket) can be easily calculated using the following formula.

KT - slide point FT - fixed point
since movements due to elongations are practically invisible. e elastic arc is determined as follows:
Amin = L + SA Amin = 2 x 2mm + 100mm Amin = 140mm Elastic arc width in this case is 140
VOLTAGE ELASTIC ARC This type of construction can provide less bracket length on the arc itself which is
convenient in limited space during construction. Proper design of this method leads to improved pipeline optical appearance also
