How to install PE pressure systems

Structural analysis

Depending on the nature of the load, various tests can be run on buried pipe systems. In one design, it is the stress and deformation calculation that is important. In another, it is a stability test.

A summary of the relevant considerations in this respect is presented in:

The stress and deformation calculation
Stability test

The principles underlying the calculations for buried plastic pipe installations are provide in ATVA 127.
