Abstract. Results of long-term hydrostatic strength study of piping systems made from polyethylene with increased temperature resistance PE-RT type II of Hostalen 4731B without reinforcement are presented and discussed in this paper. The different approximations of durability curves and various equivalent stress measures are considered and compared. An analytical expression for the maximum allowable internal pressure as function of service life of pipes, temperature, geometrical parameters of pipe cross-section and material properties is given. Pipes without reinforcement with nominal outer diameters from 32 mm to 225 mm were analyzed to assess long-term hydrostatic strength using equivalent stress, provided that there is no change in mechanism of damage accumulation. This allowed us to use linear extrapolation into area of long service life. The results indicate possible use of pipes SDR7.4 in heating networks for 50 years with heat transfer fluid parameters of 95 °C and internal pressure of 1 MPa.

Until recently, European public utility pipe market has traditionally been dominated by copper and galvanized steel pipes. Over past 30 years this segment has seen accelerated growth in share of pipes made from plastic. Advantage of plastics is that they are non-corrosive and resistant to many chemicals. They are flexible and easy to assemble (like "endless" pipe), hermetically sealed by fusion welding and light in weight, which facilitates their transportation and handling on site [1-6].

Typically, plastics used for production of municipal pipes are PE (polyethylene), PP-R (random copolymer of polypropylene), PB (polybutene) and to a lesser extent C-PVC (chlorinated PVC). While PP-R, PB and C-PVC have their own good high temperature properties, PE was not considered suitable for this market segment due to operating temperature limitations [7-11].

However, crosslinking of polyethylene (PE-X) allowed achieving desired long-term hydrostatic strength at high temperatures. Better flexibility and elasticity, high thermal conductivity, good economic properties and inertness provided by polyethylene have led to rapid increase in popularity of crosslinked polyethylene. At present crosslinked polyethylene is a widespread plastic material in segment of pipes for heating and water supply systems [12-17].

Recently, a promising new class of polyethylene materials (PE-RT) with significantly improved long-term high temperature strength without the need for crosslinking draws more and more attention [18-21].

Purpose of this work is to study the long-term hydrostatic strength of pipes made from polyethylene with increased temperature resistance PE-RT type II without reinforcement. The durability analysis is carried out for the following range of pipe parameters:

1. Introduction

• working pressure in pipe (0-2 MPa);

• temperature (50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 95, 100, 110, 115 °C);

• outer diameter of pipes (32-225 mm);

• pipe wall thickness for SDR 7.4 (4.4-30.8 mm); SDR 9 (3.6-25.2 mm); SDR 11 (2.9-20.5 mm), where SDR is the Standard Dimensions Ratio defined as the ratio of the pipe nominal outside diameter to the nominal (minimum) wall thickness.

2. Methods

2.1. Formulation of problem

Single-layer circular pipe (see Fig. 1) with inner radius Ro, outer radius Ri, outer diameter dn = 2Ri and wall thickness en = Ri - Ro is considered. Pressurep acts on the inner surface of the pipe and pressure q is applied on the outer boundary. The cylindrical coordinate system with z-axis along symmetry axis of the pipe is used.

The calculation of the equivalent stress measure, depending on geometric and loading parameters, is the aim of the boundary value problem solution. The problem has a well-known analytical solution for the stress-strain state (firstly proposed by Gabriel Lamé [22]) in the linear isothermal infinitesimal elastic formulation under assumption of isotropy of material properties.

In many practical applications, outer pressure is much less then internal. In this case, the influence of external pressure can be neglected and action of only internal pressurep is taken into account that leads to the simplification of relations (2) in the form:

The typical diagrams of stress tensor components distribution along the radius within the wall thickness are shown in Fig. 2 for the PE-RT type II pipe with outer diameter 50 and wall thickness 6.9 mm.

Analysis of relations (3) allows asserting that the maximum values of circumferential stress (maximal principle stress) are realized on the inner radius

max a = J p p

( -o )

= p (R)2 +(R0)2 . ( R)2-( R0)2

(4)

It should be noted that it is possible to obtain analytical solution of the problem in viscoelastic, elastoplastic or viscoplastic formulation [24, 25]. However, numerous experiments do not demonstrate the remarkable residual strains and use of such nonlinear material models for life-time prediction will require significant increase in amount of necessary experimental data. Note also, the linear elastic solution provides conservative evaluation of stress state.

2.3. Equivalent stress measures

It is necessary to introduce equivalent stress for which formulation of strength criterion is compared with the maximum permissible value of long-term strength for analysis of strength in case of non-uniaxial stress state. Circumferential component of stress (which is always tensile and exceeds value of compressive radial component) can be considered as the maximum principal value:

J = J = j .

Also doubled maximum shear stress (Tresca equivalent stress) can be considered as equivalent

j =

Comparison of the maximum values of equivalent stress (5)-(7) and predictions by (8) and (9) is shown in Fig. 3 for the pipe with outer diameter 50 mm and wall thickness 6.9 mm. There is 23 % difference between the minimum and maximum results.

Figure 3. Comparison of equivalent stresses (5)-(9) for the pipe with outer diameter 50 mm and wall thickness 6.9 mm.

In [26, 27] results of tests of high-density polyethylene under biaxial tension are given and it is noted that when analyzing for long-term static strength at low stress levels and long durability the best prediction corresponds to the criterion of maximum principal stresses (5). At the same time, at high stress levels and short-term durability the best prognosis is provided by Mises criterion (7). Therefore, in analysis of long-term strength for long service lives the equivalent stress (5) and its simplified approximation (9) are used below.

2.4. Long-term strength curves approximation

In practice, there are various approximations of long-term strength curves [28]. In present research, the following four-term dependence of durability (time to failure) from equivalent stress and temperature originally introduced in DIN EN ISO 15875-2:2004 [29] was used for approximation of long-term strength curves of polyethylene PE-RT type II:

lg (,)=a+M+C+a lg («),

(10)

where A, B, C and D are material constants. By transformation of (10) the more convenient for further analysis formulation with combination in one term the stress dependent expressions can be obtained:

lg (' ) = ( D + j\ lg («)-

A + — T

(11)

Determination of coefficients of the equation (11) was carried out on the basis of minimizing following functional (according to the method of least squares):

Objective function (12) is the standard deviation. This objective function has a complex, non-linear form and a large number of local extremums. The sliding tolerance method (Nelder-Mead method [30, 31]) is used for finding a global extremum to minimize the objective function (12). Advantages of this method are ability to solve problems with both linear and nonlinear objective functions and constraints. This method does not use derivatives.

3. Results and Discussion

As a result of experimental data analysis [32] for curves of long-term strength of polyethylene of increased thermal resistance PE-RT type II of Hostalen 4731B brand approximation coefficients A, B, C

and D of equation (10) were obtained on the basis of least squares method (12). Coefficients are presented in Table 1.

Comparison of obtained approximations of long-term strength curves with experimental data is shown in Fig. 4, where points correspond to the experimental data, straight lines related to the calculated approximations.

Experimental results are shown by points and their approximations are shown by lines.

The standard deviation for all curves in Fig. 4 is less than 1 % that confirms adequacy of choice of model and high accuracy of determining the constants.

It is important to note that introduced approximation (13) allows linear extrapolation to region of long service lives only if there is no change in damage accumulation mechanism (for example, a transition from ductile to brittle fracture mechanism or microstructural changes in material). Verification of absence of change in the mechanism of damage accumulation can be carried out experimentally.

It should be noted that use of unified analytical approximations over entire temperature range introduces some error in analysis of specific temperatures. Example of that difference is shown in Fig. 6, which compares approximation (10) uniform for all temperatures with coefficients A, B, C and D defined by the results of experiments at T = 20, 70, 95, 110 °C and isothermal approximation

lg (t) = F + E-lg (a) ,

(18)

obtained on the basis of least squares method (F = 0.677 lg(h), E = -0.01576 lg(h)/lg(MPa)) for set of experimental points at temperature of T = 95 °C. Obtained result indicates that use of approximation (10) at temperature of T = 95 °C for a time of more than three months provides conservative estimate with certain margin.

which has been obtained from the equations (9) and (10).

Long-term strength curves may slightly differ for different standard sizes of pipes with the same SDR value due to specifics of choosing nominal wall thickness from a tabulated discrete range of thicknesses in accordance with regulatory documents. As a rule, nominal wall thickness slightly differs in direction of increase from value of ratio of outer diameter to SDR that leads to conservative estimate of strength. The

durability is sensitive to variation of the wall thickness, therefore it is necessary to individually check fulfillment of strength condition for each standard size in especially critical cases.

It can be seen from Table 2 that for all considered standard sizes at pressure of p = 1 MPa condition of long-term strength is provided at heat transfer fluid temperature of T = 95 °C for service life of 50 years. The safety factor is 1.2 when using criterion (9) for all cases of standard sizes. The safety factor exceeds 1.17 when using criterion of maximum principal stresses (5).

Calculations made for verification purposes using Mises criterion (7) for plane strain state showed that in this case condition of long-term strength is also provided at pressure of p = 1 MPa and heat transfer fluid temperature of T = 95 °C for service life of 50 years. At the same time, the safety factor for the considered standard sizes of pipes exceeds 1.03.

It can be seen from Table 4 that for all considered standard sizes at pressure of p = 0.6 MPa condition of long-term strength is provided at heat transfer fluid temperature of T = 95 °C for service life of 50 years. The safety factor is 1.26 when using criterion (9) for all cases of standard sizes for pressure 0.6 MPa.

The safety factor 1.5 does not allow to increase pressure above 0.5 MPa for 50 years, above 0.55 MPa for 1 year and above 0.6 MPa for 100 hours for pipes of SDR 11.

The above estimates are valid for constant pressures and temperatures throughout the entire service life. In the case of realistic loading conditions with variable (piecewise constant) values, it is recommended to use the Miner's linear damage summation rule [35, 36].

4. Conclusions

1. The four-term approximation (13) of long-term hydrostatic strength curves is proposed and analyzed for polyethylene of increased temperature resistance PE-RT type II of Hostalen 4731B brand.

2. The maximum allowable internal pressure (19) is determined as a function of service life of pipes, temperature, geometrical parameters of pipe cross-section and material properties.

3. Data of proposed nomograms (Fig. 7-9) should be used to determine durability of pipes, critical pressures and safety factors for the various temperature conditions.

4. We studied pipes without reinforcement with nominal outer diameter from 32 mm to 225 mm made of polyethylene of increased temperature resistance PE-RT type II of Hostalen 4731B brand. We assessed the long-term strength using provided equivalent stress under assumption that there is no change in damage accumulation mechanism. The results obtained indicate possible use of these pipes in heating networks for 50 years with heat transfer fluid of 95 °C and working pressure of 1.0 MPa for SDR 7.4, pressure 0.8 MPa for SDR 9, pressure 0.6 MPa for SDR 11 with safety factor 1.2 in all cases.

5. Miner's relation with account of summation of damages within each interval of constancy of temperature and pressure should be used for calculating durability of pipes with changing over time levels of temperatures and pressure.

6. For validation and verification of obtained analytical results further experimental and finite element verification are required.
