In this report the developmental history, an overview of the current plastic pipe market and some of the practical problems encountered in laying new pipelines are covered initially. The author explains the design considerations involved in a new pipeline, he details fluid flow, safe pressure containment, the life expectancy of the system, how and where it is to be laid, what level of damage tolerance is acceptable as well as some of the specifications and test methods used within plastic pipe design. An additional indexed section containing several hundred abstracts from the Rapra Polymer Library database provides useful references for further reading.

Published by the Plastics Pipe Institute (PPI), the Handbook describes how polyethylene piping systems continue to provide utilities with a cost-effective solution to rehabilitate the underground infrastructure. The book will assist in designing and installing PE piping systems that can protect utilities and other end users from corrosion, earthquake damage and water loss due to leaky and corroded pipes and joints.

Industrial and domestic piping is increasingly made from various plastics and composites, and these materials withstand heavy use over long periods. They are, however, affected by environmental and other factors over time and can degrade, causing major problems within piping systems. Farshad's book deals with why plastic pipes and systems fail, and with how to investigate and diagnose such failures. Pipes may buckle, fracture, change in dimensions and colour, blister and delaminate, corrode through stress, be abraded and obstructed: all these cause problems and lead to loss of efficient operation of a system. The author's experience is backed up by a large data-base of results Wide target audience Only book covering the entire subject Unique approach based on long experience
