Yuri Gagarin State Technical University of Saratov (SSTU) has presented a new method that can increase the durability of gas distribution networks. The university's scientists proposed using reinforced polyethylene pipes that can withstand high operational loads and ensure the reliability of pipelines for up to 50 years. The solution allows reducing costs by 25-30%.
Scientific research conducted at SSTU confirmed the advantages of polyethylene pipes compared to steel counterparts. During the tests, internal pressure, temperature deformations, and external influences were checked. The researchers were able to establish optimal design characteristics to ensure durability.
The study showed that reinforced polymer pipes withstand high operational loads. Calculations, field and laboratory tests made it possible to determine the optimal design parameters, ensuring the durability of pipelines for up to 50.
In addition, the use of polyethylene pipes has environmental benefits. A 40% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions compared to steel pipes is achieved by eliminating welding, reducing the volume of earthworks, and reducing energy consumption during production.
