Discharged Large Diameter Pipeline for Coal Fired Generation Plant by PE-sGF in Japan
Publication: Pipelines 2021
ABSTRACT
Plastic pipe designers have to think about the design in two directions, circumferential and longitudinal—and when it settles on the construction site for such loads as gravity, internal pressure, negative pressure, Poisson’s ratio, temperature, and end load. Polyethylene reinforced with short glass fibre called PE-sGF pipe provides improved strength, in comparison to the corresponding thermoplastics material and based on the improved circumferential strength, good chemical resistance, and low weight. PE-sGF pipes and fittings combine the well-known properties of PE100 polyethylene with the significant characteristics of short glass fibres. The inner and outer layer of unfilled PE100 provide a smooth inner bore for fluid flow and an outer surface for fusion bonding. In 2020, PE-sGF discharged pipeline of 1,800DN/ID, approximately 2 km length were completely settled down for coal fired generation plant in Japan. This paper is showing properties, designation, and construction of large diameter PE-sGF pipeline.
