Comparative study on the performance of butt fusion-welding processes for nuclear safety class large-diameter thick-walled PE pipes

New technologies in polymer synthesis and pipe extrusion equipment have led to the commercialization of high-performance, large-diameter, thick-wall high density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes. They have been used in the field of seawater transport and cooling to replace metal pipes, due to their advanta...
