2 HIGH-DENSITY POLYETHYLENE gas pipes are lightweight, non-corrosive, available in coil lengths, and easy to install by heat fusion or mechanical fittings. For these reasons, PE pipes have been proven reliable, durable, and have been in use since the 1960 LAYING LENGTHSS tandard coil lengths provide long, uninterrupted run capabilities. This means that more ground can be covered during installation while eliminating the cost of unneces-sary joints. Longer lengths provide convenience in instal-lation and allow for significant cost savings in labor and equipment. APPLICATIONSJM Eagle s Black/Yellow Striped HIGH-DENSITY PE3408/ 3608/4710 gas pipes are suitable for fuel gas use in multiple applications for gas distribution, and oil and gas CONTROLJM Eagle takes great pride in the quality and workman-ship of all of our products.

3 JM Eagle quality control pro-grams encompass three critical aspects of the manufac-turing process: the incoming raw material, pipe produc-tion, and the finished goods. Incoming material is visually inspected and tested to ensure the material meets all applicable requirements before its release for production. During production, the pipe will be visually examined for any cosmetic defect and pipe samples will be collected for physical verification and testing for compliance. The fin-ished product is subjected to further visual inspection to ensure it has met all the appropriate specifications and packaging requirements.

4 Without exception, our pipes are constantly monitored throughout the entire manufacturing process to validate that they are in accordance with all applicable specifications. JM Eagle s Quality Management System is ISO 9001:2000 registered. Copies of the registration certificates are avail-able on our website at POLYETHYLENE BLACK GASCORROSION RESISTANCEJM Eagle s black/yellow-striped HDPE pipe, for all practi-cal purposes, is chemically inert. It has good resistance to most solvents and chemicals that it is likely to encoun-ter in dry natural and manufactured gas distribution ser-vices. All HDPE pipe meets the chemical resistance specifications outlined in ASTM D2513.

5 And, with a rela-tively smooth inside surface, JM Eagle s Oil and Gas Gathering pipe provides high -volume liquid flow and will tolerate most downhole corrosion inhibitors, hotsoils and sour RESISTANCEB lack/yellow-striped HDPE pipe is protected against degradation caused by ultraviolet rays from direct sun-light. The POLYETHYLENE resin contains 2%-3% of finely divided carbon black. This provides the black color for HDPE pipe. Carbon black is the most effective additive for enhancing the weathering characteristics of polyethyl-ene pipe. JM Eagle black/yellow striped HDPE can be safely stored outside in most climates for periods of many years without danger of loss of physical properties due to ultraviolet (UV) exposure.

6 In general, JM Eagle recom-mends the use of a first-in, first-out inventory manage-ment CRACK GROWTH RESISTANCEA nother benefit of JM Eagle s HDPE pipe is its high slow crack growth resistance . Slow crack growth resistance is a valuable characteristic, which provides long lasting per-formance under long-term IN HANDLING COSTSSave in handling cost. JM Eagle s HDPE pipes are lightweight and can reduce manpower requirements for CUTTINGHDPE pipe should be cut with pipe and tubing cutters designed for plastic pipe. These tools easily provide the square cut ends that are necessary to provide satisfac-tory fusion joints.

7 If carpenter or hack saws are used to cut the pipe, special care must be taken to ensure square cut ends and to clean the resultant sawdust from inside the POLYETHYLENE BLACK GASLIGHT WEIGHTA 500 foot length of 1" IPS SDR 11 HDPE pipe weighs approximately 95 pounds. That makes it easy to load, easy to transport, and easy to handle. Installers prefer it because it goes into the ground quickly thus saving on installation LIFES ince POLYETHYLENE does not corrode and is resistant to most chemicals, this pipe does not lose strength due to either gas corrosion or external galvanic soil condi-tions.

8 The design characteristics of flexible POLYETHYLENE pipe allows for long-term resistance to earth loading and soil movement. Installer training for the proper use and installation of POLYETHYLENE pipe is a critical factor in its long-term performance. The JM Eagle HDPE systems have ample safety factors included in their design for providing relia-ble long-term performance in gas distribution service, when the system is properly installed and operated at design product should be installed in accordance with JM Eagle Publication JME-14B, POLYETHYLENE Black HDPE Gas Distribution Installation Guide.

9 LONG-TERM STRENGTHThe industry standard for establishing the design basis for POLYETHYLENE gas distribution systems is ASTM D2837, Obtaining Hydrostatic Design Basis for Thermoplastic Pipe Materials. This standard assigns the long-term strength of the pipe based on hydrostatically tested sam-ples at a range of pressures which result in creep rupture failures over a period of 10,000 hours or more. A regres-sion analysis of these burst data is made to project the failure curve to 100,000 hours establishing the Long-Term Hydrostatic Strength (LTHS). Based on this, a Hydrostatic Design Basis (HDB) is assigned for each standard tem-perature pressure rating and associated ASTM D2513 designa-tion for two temperatures are summarized in Table 1 These are typical properties for basic characterization of the material and do not represent specific determinations or DESCRIPTION HIGH-DENSITY POLYETHYLENE BLACK GAS(CONTINUED)
