Creep functions for transients in HDPE pipes
New experimental results obtained from a high density polyethylene (HDPE) pipeline for transient conditions are presented and discussed. Transient pressure data at different pipe sections were collected. Peculiar features were observed, which are typical of viscoelastic pipes, in particular, a significant damping of extreme pressures was observed in comparison to what is typically obtained for metal pipes. Physical constraints of the pipe are important to describe some vibrations observed in the system. The viscoelastic transient solver developed by Covas et al. (2005) was used to carry out numerical simulations of experimental tests. The comparison of numerical results with experimental data has shown that the viscoelastic model accurately predicts observed transient pressures. Additional considerations are carried out about the calibrated creep function for this test case in comparison with the ones obtained in previous researches.
