Handbook of Polyethylene and Polypropylene Piping
The third edition of “Handbook of Polyethylene and Polypropylene Piping – Characteristics, Design and Installation”, sponsored by the companies Agru, Armco-Staco, Braskem, Evonik, FGS Brasil, Georg Fischer, Kanaflex, Poly Easy, Tecnofusion and Tigre-ADS, aims to introduce the piping of polyethylene and polypropylene since its characteristics, specifications and technical standards, hydraulic, mechanical and thermal design, quality control requirements, methods and procedures of joining and repair, procedures of outdoor, underground, conventional and trenchless installations, including new piping materials, like polybutylene (PB), PEX, PERT, PVDF, PA 12, PVC and multilayer pipes.
The handbook applies to all the production chain, installers, and end users: producers of raw materials, pipes, fittings, welding machines and installation tools, engineers and technicians, purchasers, quality control and inspectors, designers, pipe welders and installers, as well to engineering students.
The handbook aims to supply to the reader enough data and informations for specifications, projects and piping design, quality control of the components and the installation in its several applications and it is divided into 13 chapters, being one of them exclusively dedicated to the Structured big pipes, and another to the Polyamide 12 (PA 12), besides four annexes containing Simbology and Measuring Units, Tables of Properties and Graphs – Tables of Chemical Resistance; Useful Formulas and other data and International Technical Standards list.
- Chapter 1: Introduction
