Abstract

The invention relates to a pipe comprising layers of thermoplastic polyolefi ns of the same type, but of different properties, which are inseparably connect ed to each other. An outer layer and a second layer adjacent to the inner surfa ce thereof comprise an uncross-linked material. The second layer has approximately the FNCT value or the NPT value of a single-layered standard pressure pipe and the first layer has an FNCT value at least a factor of thr ee higher, or an NPT value greater than the second layer. Furthermore a third layer, adjacent to the inner surface of the second layer, which also compris es an uncross-linked material and has an FNCT value higher than the second laye r by a factor of at least three or an NPT value higher than the second layer b y a factor of at least two.

Description

MULTI-LAYERED PIPE
The invention relates to a pipe of coaxial layers of thermoplastic olefins, which jointly form the wall of the pipe, in a construction of the introductory portion of claim 1.
For a known pipe of this type (DE 299 06 998.2 U1), the pipe consists of an outer and an inner layer, the inner layer of which has the FNCT or NPT
value of a single-layer pressure pipe and the outer layer of which has an FNCT or NPT
value, which is higher by a factor of at least 3.
Starting out from this, the invention is concerned with the problem of increasing the load-carrying capability of the pipe while it is being and after it has been laid. Pursuant to the invention, this objective is accomplished by a pipe with the distinguishing features of claim 1. With regard to further developments, reference is made to the claims 2 to 10.
All of the layers of the inventive pipe consist of a material, which has not been cross-linked, so that the ends of the pipes can be joined together reliably, without problems, with all normal connecting techniques, such as electric sleeve or butt welding. The pipe, moreover, can be recycled without problems, since interfering, cross-linked regions are not present. Moreover, the pipe is exceptionally durable, since the crack growth in the outer layer, notch-stressed during laying, especially when laying without a trench, is a very low. This is the case particularly also at the low temperatures, which are encountered by pipelines, laid end-to-end for water, gas, etc.. In particular, however, the pipe also withstands high point loads, such as those, caused, for example, by stones, since the innermost third layer, because of its increased FNCT or NPT value, can absorb, without a damage, the significantly higher tensile stresses in the inner layer, which occur during point loads.
The first and third layers may have an FNCT value, which is higher by a factor of at least 5, and an NPT value, which is greater by a factor of 2.5 than the corresponding values of the second layer, if this is desirable for overcoming special loads.
All layers of the pipe are combined by melting or welding into a pipe unit, which behaves like a single-layer pipe, the pipe with its three layers having a standard external diameter and a standard ratio of external diameter to total wall thickness (SDR) which is generally 11 or 17.
Advantageously, the sum of the wall thicknesses of the first and third layers amounts to 50 percent of the total wall thickness of the pipe, advisably, the wall thickness of the third layer being at least 20 percent of the total wall thickness of the pipe. In a preferred embodiment, the wall thicknesses of the first and third layers amount to 25 percent each and the wall thickness of the second layer is 50 percent of the total thickness of the pipe.
All layers of the pipe consist preferably of high-density polyethylene (HDPE). The layers of the pipe may consist uniformly of PE 80 or PE 100.
Instead, one is free to select PE 100 or PE 80 for any of the layers.
Advantageously, the first and third layers consist of an HDPE, copolymerized with hexene and with a bimodal distribution of molecular weights. An additive, increasing the UV resistance or providing color, may be admixed at least with the first Layer of the pipe.
The first and third layers have an FNCT (full notched creep test) value, which is higher by a factor at least of 3 or an NPT (notched pipe test) value, which is higher by a factor of at Least 2 than the corresponding value of the second layer, which has the FNCT or NPT value of a single-Layer, standard pressure pipe. The article by S.H. Beech, S.J. Palmer and R.W. Burbridge, under the title of "ACCELERATED
LABORATORY TESTS TO PREDICT THE RESISTANCE TO SLOW CRACK
GROWTH OF HIGH PERFORMANCE POLYETHYLENE PIPE RESINS" in the 1997 International Plastic Pipe Symposium ( 1997), pages 205 ff., is referred to with regard to carrying at the test for determining the FNCT values.
Furthermore, the article by M. Fleissner under the title of "Experience With a Full Notch Creep Test in Determining the Stress Crack Performance of Polyethylene" in, POLYMER ENGINEERING AND SCIENCE, February 1998, volume 38, number 2, is referred to.
On the basis of the test conditions described, at 80°C, 4.6 Mpa and 2 percent Arkopal N100 as soap, the FNCT value of a one-layer standard pressure pipe of PE 100 is about 200 - 500 h and the FNCT value of the inventive material of the first and third layers is about 600 to 1500 h. When HDPE, which is copolymerized with hexene and has a bimodal molecular weight distribution, is used, the FNCT
value exceeds 2200 h and may reach a magnitude of about 3000 h.
With regard to carrying out the test for determining the NPT value, reference is made to the report by W.J. Allwood and S.H. Beeh "THE NOTCHED
PIPE TESTS FOR THE PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT OF POLYETHYLENE
PIPE", Plastic Fuel Gas Pipe Symposium, (1993), pp. 339 ff.. On the basis of the test conditions described there, at 80°C and 4.6 Mpa, the NPT value of a single-layer standard pressure pipe of PE 100 is about 3000 h, and the NPT value of the inventive material of the first and third layers is at least about 6000 h. If HDPE, which has been copolymerized with hexene and has a bimodal molecular weight distribution, is used, the NPT value may also have a considerably greater magnitude of up to 7500 h.
