An Independent Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Polyethylene Encasement as a Corrosion Control Measure for Ductile Iron Pipe
Polyethylene encasement has been widely promoted as a corrosion control method for ductile iron pipe (DIP). However, much of the data regarding polyethylene encasement that have been provided in industry promotional efforts have been from random test pits and from carefully prepared test sites. Independent corrosion engineers have reported on actual field evaluations of in-service polyethylene encased DIP and independent research has been conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of polyethylene encasement. This paper discusses the results of the independent research and reveals the findings of independent evaluations in terms of the condition of operating polyethylene encased ductile iron mains.
