Abstract:

In this paper, a hoop tensile test method was adopted to detect the hoop tensile strength of high-density polyethyene (PE-HD) pipes, and the effect of the change of curvature caused by the deformation of the sample on the hoop tensile strength was investigated during the test. In the experiment, the optimized parallel tests were carried out to obtain accurate test data. After the collection of the huge amount of test data, the results indicated that for the PE-HD pipes with the same outer diameter, their hoop tensile strength decreased by 10 % with a reduction of the curvature of hoop tensile specimen under the test. Moreover, the effect of the variation law of curvature on the hoop tensile strength of PE-HD pipes was discussed.

Key words: high-density ethylene, pipe, wall thickness, hoop tensile strength, curvature
