The failure of plastic pipe beneath at new fish hatchery in Texas has brought pipe failure potential forward in discussion. On 7 October 2010, Jeffrey Jansen will present a Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE) webinar title “Plastic Pipe Failure.” His presentation will address performance considerations and common failure mechanisms when dealing with plastics pipes. The discussion includes an introduction to plastic piping systems, analysis methods for evaluating failed pipes, and failure mechanisms, including cracking, buckling, weathering, and fatigue.
