SILANE CROSS-LINKED POLYETHYLENE PIPE We shall show an example of calculating the factor of safety : 12 Suppose we have a <strong>pipe</strong> with dimensions 16 x 2 - Max. operating pressure = 3 bar Max. operating temperature = 70°C - Required duration = 50 years On the basis of the above data, we can deduce the equivalent force: e = P x (de - s) 20 x s = 3 x (16 - 2) 20 x 2 = 1,05 N mm 2 from the regression curve at 70°C it can be seen that max. stress for the period of 50 years is equal to: max = 5,4 N/mm 2 hence the factor of safety is as follows: fs = max e = 5,4 = 5,1 1,05 For example, in accordance with UNI 9338 standard, two classes of nominal pressure are defined (max. permissible pressure for continuous duty with water at 20°C), namely PN10 and PN16, depending on the dimensions, as given table 11. Therefore having defined a factor of safety equal to 1.3, table 12 shows the safety operating pressures for different temperature and time ranges. Table 11 Table 12 Nominal O.D. Average O.D.
