Standard Practice for Microwave Examination of Polyethylene Electrofusion Joints Used in Piping Application

Importancia y uso:

5.1 Polyethylene piping has been used instead of steel alloys in the petrochemical, power, water, gas distribution, and mining industries due to its resistance to corrosion and erosion and reliability. Recently, polyethylene pipe has also been used for nuclear safety related cooling water applications.

5.2 MW examination is useful for detecting various flaws that are known to occur in polyethylene electrofused joints.
