Abstract

Polyethylene pipes for water transportation are attractive for technical and economic reasons. However, premature ruptures due to poor quality of the production process or the raw material cast a shadow on this material. The application of PY/GC/MS to the molecular charcterization of polyethylene water pipes is described. The statistical treatment of pyrolysis results allowed to differentiate various groups of pipes. A comparison with conventional polyethylene physical tests is provided. PY/GC/MS showed potential as a tool to estimate pipe quality and hence its resistance against ruptures caused by pressure stress.
