REPORT SUMMARY
The results in this report are intended to demonstrate a method that can be used to protect high-
density polyethylene (HDPE) piping located aboveground from postulated fire events. This
includes protecting both pipe and pipe fittings (for example, elbows, tees, and valves) from the
fire environment—including the heat transmitted from pipe supports—and preventing the fire
environment from passing through building wall or floor penetrations.
The report is intended to be complementary to other ongoing Electric Power Research Institute
(EPRI) activities that have the overall objectives of qualifying HDPE piping for use in
belowground and aboveground applications in safety-related and non-safety-related piping
systems.
Background
Degradation of raw water piping systems is a major issue facing nuclear power plant owners, and
many plants will require the repair or replacement of existing carbon steel piping components.
New plants wish to build on the lessons learned from operating plants and use piping materials
that are expected to last the design lifetime. HDPE has been used in non-safety service water
systems for more than 10 years, in both belowground and aboveground applications, and found
to perform well. Because the cost of installing HDPE piping is much lower than that of
corrosion-resistant metal pipe, the use of HDPE pipe in many raw water applications is desirable.
Objective
• To evaluate a method that may be capable of protecting HDPE pipe and pipe fittings from a
postulated fire environment
Approach
Four piping subassemblies were designed that contained many of the fittings and components
commonly found in HDPE piping systems. They included a flanged joint, a tee, an HDPE valve,
straight pipe, butt fusion joints, mitered elbows, and pipe caps as well as rod hangers to provide
deadweight support. The pipe, pipe fittings and components, and pipe supports were wrapped
with an endothermic material that had previously been qualified for protecting cable trays and
conduits from the fire event. The subassemblies were subject to both deadweight and pressure
loads with the resulting stresses somewhat in excess of those allowed by ASME Code Case N-
755-1. They were installed in a furnace with fire-resistant packing material and a water-resistant
sealant used at wall penetrations. The assemblies were subject to a 3-hour fire test according to
the guidance of ASTM E119 followed by a hose stream test according to the guidance of ASTM
E2226. The assemblies were monitored for leakage throughout the event, and thermocouples
were used to measure the surface temperature of the piping assemblies.
v
13068079
Results and Findings
All four specimens survived the test, with each retaining its overall geometry, cross section, and
structural and pressure boundary integrity. The wall and ceiling penetrations held; no excessive
heat was transmitted through the penetrations during the fire test, and no water was transmitted
through the penetrations during the hose stream test. In addition, no damage to the pipe or
significant cracking of the penetration seals was observed from the thermal shock and erosion
force of the hose stream test. Although pipe surface temperatures exceeded the target
temperature for three of the specimens, the actuator nut on the valve melted, and some
permanent deformations of two of the assemblies were found, no water leaked from any of the
assemblies. These conditions could likely be prevented with some improvements to the wrapping
method for complex shapes and/or additional layers of the barrier material.

ABSTRACT
This report presents and demonstrates a method that can be used to provide a fire-resistant
barrier for aboveground high-density polyethylene (HDPE) piping systems that might be
required to withstand a postulated fire event.
There are potential economic and safety benefits for pursuing the use of HDPE pipe in piping
systems containing raw or minimally treated water because of its resistance to microbial attack
and corrosion. Buried HDPE pipe has been successfully used in many industries, including the
nuclear power industry. HDPE has also been used extensively aboveground but in areas in which
fire resistance is not an issue. The work summarized in this report is intended to provide a basis
for the use of HDPE in areas in which fire resistance is required. The work performed in this
study was intended to be proof-of-concept only and should not be considered as a qualification
or certification test.

INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
Degradation of raw water piping systems is a major issue facing nuclear power plant owners, and
many plants will need to repair or replace existing carbon steel piping components. New plants
wish to build on the lessons learned from operating plants and use piping materials that are
expected to last the design lifetime. High density polyethylene (HDPE) has been used in non-
safety service water systems for over ten years, in both below ground and above ground
applications, and found to perform well. It has also been used in two safety related buried
applications in the US, and in one above ground safety related application abroad. Since the cost
of installing HDPE piping is much lower than the cost for corrosion resistant metal pipe, the use
of HDPE pipe in many raw water applications is an attractive option. As a result, there is
increasing interest in the use of HDPE for above ground systems in new build nuclear power
plants.
When used above ground, or in underground tunnels or vaults, fire resistance may be an issue.
HDPE starts to melt at ~235°F (115°C) and has an auto-ignition temperature of ~662°F (350°C).
Additionally, toxic flames or gasses are released when it burns. Thus, in applications where the
system must remain operable during a postulated fire event, or not contribute to the fire load,
(i.e., burn), fire barriers must be provided. The purpose of this project is to develop and
demonstrate one method of protecting HDPE piping from a postulated fire event.
1.2 Overall Project Description
This project is part of a related effort to obtain the necessary data to support the development of
necessary ASME Code rules to be able to use HDPE piping in nuclear power plants. Many of
the needed properties are not provided in Section III of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Code, nor
are many of the needed properties provided in the B31.1 code for non-nuclear piping.
Additionally, comprehensive properties are not readily available from any industry consensus
source [1]. Various trade organizations and manufacturers provide portions of the required
material information. However, the available data have not been independently reviewed by
consensus bodies and design properties must be extracted from the material test data.
In 2005, ASME formed a Special Working Group (now called the Sub-Group for Polyethylene
Pipe) to develop rules for nuclear safety class 3 pipe that is buried. In 2007, ASME approved
Code Case N-755 [2] which contains some of the rules needed for Section III class 3 buried
piping. Revision 1 to Code Case N-755 was approved in June 2011. Included in revision 1 are
some enhanced material requirements for the resins. HDPE piping products which meets these
1-1
13068079
Introduction
requirements are called “compliant” resins in this report. As soon as rules for buried piping are
sufficiently developed, the applicable committees intend work on above ground applications. In
2010, ASME began organizing another working group to develop rules for non nuclear
applications.
Most of the activities in the overall EPRI program for HDPE were initiated to obtain and
consolidate material data needed for application of HDPE in ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel
Section III, Division 1 Class 3 applications. These data are being obtained by a series of material
test tasks and activities. Work completed, in process, or planned for the near future is described
in the following sections.
1.2.1 Tensile Testing
Tensile testing of HDPE pipe material is being performed to determine its yield stress, yield
strain, ultimate strain and elastic modulus as a function of temperature. To date, two materials
have been tested; PE 3408 with a cell classification of 345464C, and a unimodal PE 4710 with a
cell classification of 445474C. The tensile testing of both resins included both thermally aged
and new material specimens. The results for the PE 3408 testing were presented in EPRI Report
1013479 [3] and PE 4710 test results were included in EPRI Report 1018351 [4]. The tensile
testing of Code Case N-755-1 compliant bimodal PE 4710 resins is planned for 2011 - 2012.
1.2.2 Fatigue Testing
The basic fatigue curves for fusion welds in PE piping are needed to support the fatigue stress
allowables of Code Case N-755-1, as well as provide reference data to develop stress
intensification factors for various types of pipe fittings. The initial task was the development of
the basic fatigue curves (commonly referred to as S-N curves) for fusion welds in unimodal PE
4710 cell classification 445474C pipe. The results were presented in EPRI Report 1015062 [5].
The development of basic fatigue curves for Code Case N-755-1 compliant bimodal PE 4710
resins is planned for 2011 - 2012.
1.2.3 Stress Intensification and Flexibility Factors
Stress Intensification Factors (SIFs) and flexibility factors have been developed for selected
HDPE fittings and components. The results were presented in several EPRI reports. The
components were fabricated from PE 4710 material with cell classification 445474C or
445574C.

Reference [7] also contains a summary of all other SIF test results.
1.2.4 Slow Crack Growth
The slow crack growth (SCG) properties of PE 4710 are needed to support of the 10% scratch
depth allowable of Code Case N-755-1. Ultimately, fracture mechanics properties of PE 4710
will also be needed (e.g., da/dt versus KI curves) to evaluate other types of flaws. Two types of
tests have been conducted; tensile coupons with a 10% crack were subjected to a constant tensile
load at 95°C, and 4” SDR 11 pipe specimens with a 10% through-wall crack were subjected to a
sustained pressure load at 85°C and 95°C. The results of this SCG testing are discussed in EPRI
report 1022565 [8]. Planned for 2011 - 2012 is the initiation of additional pressurized pipe tests
to study the effect of fusion welds and pipe size on SCG. The detailed test plans have not yet
been completed. All pipe materials used for the 2011 - 2012 testing will be compliant with Code
Case N-755-1 requirements.
1.2.5 Flange Strength Testing
The strength of a 4” inch nominal flange adapter relative to straight pipe was determined. The
test specimens used for this task were fabricated from PE-3408/3608 with a minimum cell
classification of 345464C and the flange adapters were PE-4710/3408 with a minimum cell
classification of 345464C. The test results are included in EPRI reports 1015062 [5] and
1020438 [9].
1.2.6 Creep Testing
Long term creep data for PE 4710 resins that meet the requirements of Code Case N-755-1 are to
be developed. The goal of the testing is to determine the creep rates and develop a creep
1-3
13068079
Introduction
function that defines the creep versus time and stress behavior of the pipe material. It is planned
to complete the testing by the end of 2011.
1.2.7 Seismic Modulus
Testing was performed in mid 2011 to determine the appropriate elastic modulus for use in
seismic qualifications of aboveground HDPE piping systems. This includes the relationship of
the elastic modulus to the seismic strain rate. Code Case N-755-1 compliant bimodal PE 4710
resins were used for the test specimens. The test results are scheduled to be published in the fall
of 2011 in EPRI report 1021095 [28].
1.2.8 Damping Factors
Testing was performed in mid 2011 to determine the appropriate damping factor for use in
seismic qualifications of aboveground HDPE piping systems. The test specimens were
fabricated from Code Case N-755-1 compliant bimodal PE 4710 pipe material. The test results
are scheduled to be published in the fall of 2011 in EPRI report 1021095 [28].
1.2.9 Seismic Qualification of Vent and Drain Valves
Shake table testing was conducted to support the seismic qualification of HDPE vent and drain
valves configurations. The testing was completed in the 2nd quarter of 2011. The test results are
scheduled to be published in the fall of 2011 in EPRI report 1021095 [28].
1.2.10 Development of Proposed Rules for Above Ground Applications
Code rules and proper design methods will be needed for above ground applications. An
investigation into the behavior of HDPE for above ground applications, including the
development of proposed ASME Code rules for nuclear class 3 pipe is provided in EPRI report
1021094 [10].
1.3 Results Presented In This Report
This report documents the development and testing of one method to protect above ground
HDPE piping from the postulated fire event and subsequent hose stream test.

DEVELOPMENT OF TEST REQUIREMENTS
There are no unique and specific regulatory requirements for fire protection of HDPE piping
systems in nuclear power plants. The objective of this section is to summarize and discuss what
are considered to be applicable guidelines for demonstrating an adequate fire barrier. The
summary may not be applicable to all plants or to all situations.
2.1 Regulatory Guidance
10 CFR 50 Appendix R [11] sets forth the governing fire protection criteria for operating nuclear
power plants. Of particular note, Article III.G.2 of Appendix R provides several options for
ensuring that one redundant train of systems necessary to achieve and maintain hot shutdown
conditions is free from fire damage. Two of the options are “separation of cables and equipment
and associated non-safety circuits of redundant trains by a fire barrier having a 3-hour rating”,
and “enclosure of cable and equipment and associated non-safety circuits or one redundant train
in a fire barrier having a 1-hour rating. In addition, fire detectors and an automatic fire
suppression system shall be installed in the fire area”.
Although Appendix R does not have explicit criteria for pipe penetrations, Article III.M states
that cable “penetration seal designs must be qualified by tests that are comparable to tests used
to rate fire barriers. The acceptance criteria for the test must include the following:
1. The cable fire barrier penetration seal has withstood the fire endurance test without passage
of flame or ignition of cables on the unexposed side for a period of time equivalent to the fire
resistance rating required of the barrier.
2. The temperature levels recorded for the unexposed side are analyzed and demonstrate that
the maximum temperature is sufficiently below the cable insulation ignition temperature, and
3. The fire barrier penetration seal remains intact and does not allow projection of water
beyond the unexposed surface during the hose stream test”.
Regulatory Guide 1.189 - Revision 2 [12], is applicable to both operating nuclear plants as well
as new builds, and incorporates guidance previously found in USNRC Branch Technical Position
SPLB 9.5-1 [13]. Some of the applicable provisions include:
• Article C.1.a, “Provide protection to SCCs important to safety so that a fire that is not
promptly extinguished by the fire suppression activities will not prevent the safe shutdown of
the plant”.
2-1
13068079
Development of Test Requirements
• Article 4.1.2.1, “fire barriers that define the boundaries of a fire area should have a fire-
resistance rating of 3 hours or more…..”.
• Article 4.1.2.1, “Where fire areas boundaries are not 3-hour rated, or not wall-to-wall or
floor-to-ceiling boundaries with all penetrations sealed to the fire rating of the boundaries,
the licensee should evaluate the adequacy of the fire area boundaries….”.
• Article 4.1.2.1, “Exterior walls, including penetrations, should be qualified as rated fire
barriers if they are required to separate safe-shutdown equipment…..”.
• Article 4.2.1.4, “Openings through fire barriers for pipe, conduit, and cable trays that
separate fire areas should be sealed or closed to provide a fire-resistance rating at least
equal to that required of the barrier itself”.
• Article 4.2.1.5.a, “The design adequacy of fire barrier walls, floors, ceilings, and enclosures
should be verified by fire endurance testing. The NRC fire protection guidance refers to the
guidance of NFPA 251 and ASTM E119 … as acceptable test methods for demonstrating fire
endurance performance…… In addition, ASTM E119 should be consulted with regards to the
placement of thermocouples on the specimens”.
• Article 4.2.1.5.b, “An independent testing authority should qualify penetration fire barriers
by tests conducted in accordance with the provisions of NFPA 251 or ASTM E119. In
addition, ASTM E814, “Standard Test Method for Fire Tests of Penetration Fire Stops”, or
IEEE Standard 634….could be used in the development of standard fire test. The acceptance
criteria for the test are as follows:
i. The fire barrier design has withstood the fire endurance test without passage of flame or
ignition of cables on the unexposed side for a period of time equivalent to the fire-
resistance rating required of the barrier.
ii. The temperature levels recorded for the unexposed side of the fire barrier are analyzed
and demonstrate that the maximum temperature recorded does not exceed 163 degrees C
(325 degrees F) or 121 degrees C (250 degrees F) above the ambient temperature.
iii. The fire barrier remains intact and does not allow projection of water beyond the
unexposed surface during the hose stream test…..”.

Branch Technical Position SPLB 9.5-1, “Guidelines for Fire Protection for Nuclear Power
Plants” [13] was removed when it was incorporated into Regulatory Guide 1.189.
Standard Review Plan 9.5.1 [14] requires that:
• Article A.1, “Additionally, the evolutionary ALWR designers must ensure that smoke, hot
gasses, or the fire suppressant must not migrate into other fire areas to the extent that they
could adversely affect safe-shutdown capabilities, including operator actions”.
• Article A.3, “In general, the FPP for new light water reactors designs should comply with
the provisions specified in NFPA 804…..”.
• Article A.6.2.b, “Enhanced fire protection attention to smoke mitigation and smoke damage
should reduce the contribution of these phenomena to overall fire risk”.
10 CFR 50.48 [15] sets forth general criteria for fire protection, but does not provide any specific
design or testing criteria for fire barriers.
SECY 90-016 [16] contains enhanced requirements for evolutionary Light Water Reactor (LWR)
plants. Applicable fire protection requirements in Article II.D include:
• “Additionally, the evolutionary ALWR designers must ensure that smoke, hot gasses, or the
fire suppressant must not migrate into other fire areas to the extent that they could adversely
affect safe-shutdown capabilities, including operator actions”.
• “The ALWR Requirements Document states that fire protection will be as specified in 10
CFR 50.48 and Appendix R. It states that for equipment in the same general area, a 3-hour
fire barrier will be utilized in lieu of physical separation unless it is “impractical or less
safe”“.
2.2 Industry Standards
Several industry standards are referenced by the above regulations. They include:
2-3
13068079
ASTM E-119, “Standard Test Methods for Fire Tests of Building Construction and Materials”
[17] includes the following requirements:
• Article 7.1.1 sets forth a time-temperature curve for the fire test. At 3 hours, the temperature
reaches 1925°F (1052°C).
• Articles 7.3.3, 7.3.4, 6.3.5, and 7.3.6 define number and locations of thermocouples for the
test specimen. Four thermocouples are required for steel floor or roof units, 4 thermocouples
are required for loaded restraint beams, 4 thermocouples are required for non-loaded
structural steel beams and girders, and 5 thermocouples are required for protective
membranes.
• Article 7.4.4.1, “Throughout the fire resistance test, apply a superimposed load to the test
specimen to simulate a maximum-load condition”.
• Article 7.5 sets forth requirements for a cotton pad test “to determine that the test specimen
has not allowed the passage of gasses hot enough to ignite a cotton pad”.
• Where required, Article 7.6 sets forth requirements for a hose stream test to determine “the
impact, erosion, and cooling effects of a hose stream”.
NFPA 804, “Standard for Fire Protection for Advanced Light Water Reactor Electric Generating
Plants”, [18] requirements include:
• Article 8.1.2.3, “A listed fire barrier having a fire resistance rating of at least 3 hours and
with listed 3-hour-rated penetration seals shall be provided….”.
• Article 8.1.3.1, “All openings in fire barriers shall be provided with fire door assemblies, fire
dampers, penetration seals (fire stops), or other approved means having a fire protection
rating of the barrier…..”.
• Article 8.1.3.4.2, “Cable openings, piping openings, and building joints shall be provided
with fire-rated penetration seals that meet the requirements of ASTM E814…. or UL 1479”.
NFPA 251, “Standard Methods of Tests of Fire Resistance of Building Construction and
Materials” [19] includes the following requirements:
• Article 4.1.1 sets forth a time-temperature curve for the fire test. At 3 hours, the temperature
reaches 1925°F (1052°C).
• Article 6.2., “ Where required by the conditions of acceptance … for wall or partitions
having a fire resistance rating of not less than 1 hour, a hose stream test shall be conducted in
accordance with Section 6.2. …. The test equipment and procedures for conducting the hose
stream test shall be as described in ASTM E 2226…”.
2-4
13068079
• Article 8.2.a, “The wall or partition shall have withstood the fire and hose stream tests …
without passage of flame, gasses hot enough to ignite cotton waste, or the hose stream”.
• Article 10.3, 11.4, and 13.2 define number and locations of thermocouples for the test
specimens. A minimum of 3 thermocouples are required for structural steel columns, 3
thermocouples are required for structural members of floor and roof assemblies, and 3
thermocouples are required for loaded beams.
• Article 12.3, “Throughout the fire endurance test, a superimposed load shall be applied to
the test specimen. The superimposed load, together with the weight of the specimen shall be,
as nearly as practical, the maximum theoretical dead and live loads permitted by nationally
recognized design standards”.
• Article 14.2.1.4, “The rating of performance shall not apply to beams or girders smaller than
those tested”.
ASTM E814, “Standard Test Method for Fire Tests of Penetration Firestop Materials” [20] sets
forth methods and criteria to establish a rating of the firestop system (e.g., wall penetration
seals). It uses the ASTM E119 time-temperature curve.
ASTM E1725, “Standard Test Method for Fire Tests of Fire-Resistive Barrier Systems for
Electrical System Components” [21] sets forth methods and criteria to qualify electrical system
components such as cable trays, conduits and other raceways, open run cables and conductors,
etc. It uses the ASTM E119 time-temperature curve, and the test methods “provide a
measurement of the transmission of heat to the electrical system components within the barrier
system”. Guidance on the placement of thermocouples for conduits include:
• Article 8.1.2.1, “One inch (25 mm) from the junction of the conduit and the fire-exposed side
of the penetration seal,
• Article 8.1.2.2, “Immediately adjacent to any support members, and
• Article 8.1.2.3, “At points 6 + 1/2 in. (152 + 13 mm) along the length of the conduit”.
• Article 8.1.1, applicable to cable trays, states that the thermocouples are to be “attached to
the bottom of the tray”.
ASTM E2226, “Standard Practice for Application of Hose Stream” [22] is intended to be “one
factor in assessing the integrity of building elements after fire exposure”. Among other
requirements, it standardizes the apparatus to be used, the method or pattern of application of a
standard hose stream, and the water pressure and duration of exposure after a test assembly has
completed a prescribed standard fire-resistance test. The unexposed surface of the test assembly
should be observed for “any hole, crack ,or other penetration that allows the passage of water
from the hose stream”.

13068079
2.3 Test Requirements
Based on the above regulatory and industry requirements and guidance, the following criteria
was applied to this project:
1. The HDPE piping systems will be subject to a 3-hour fire test per the criteria of ASTM E119
and NFPA 251.
2. The wall penetration seals should be capable of withstanding the 3-hour test. Any suspect
areas should be subject to the cotton pad test defined in ASTM E119 and NFPA 251.
3. The specimens should include a 2 inch nominal diameter pipe as it has the least amount of
thermal mass among commonly used piping sizes (guidance from Section 14.2.1.4 of NFPA
251).
4. Commercially available and fire rated products should be used to construct the fire barriers
and penetration seals.
5. Prior to the test, and per the guidance of ASTM E 119 and NFPA 251, the piping specimens
should be loaded to the code allowable stress. For HDPE, the 50 year stress limit defined in
ASME Code Case N-755, draft revision 1 [2], is 800 psi for temperatures < 73°F (23°C).
This stress is also consistent with the allowable recommended for above ground applications
[10]. This will be achieved by a combination of deadweight and pressure loads, including
the weight of the barrier material.
6. It is desirable to design the fire barrier system to maintain a piping skin temperature of
~175°F (79°C). At 175°F (79°C), the piping yield stress is ~1200 psi [4]. Thus, an applied
mechanical and/or pressure load which results in a longitudinal stress of 800 psi at 73°F
(23°C) will reach ~2/3 of yield stress when the pipe temperature reaches 175°F (79°C).
7. A variety of piping components should be included in the test to evaluate susceptibility of

various fittings to the fire event (e.g., distort, leak, preclude operability, etc) as well as
evaluate fire barrier wrapping techniques for differing geometries.
8. Each of the piping systems should include a pipe support to simulate field conditions (e.g.,
evaluate the potential transmission of heat from the metal support to the pipe).
9. The piping specimens should be provided with a minimum of 4 thermocouples as suggested

in ASTM E119, one of which shall be located as near as practical to the penetration seal, and
one near the pipe support. The thermocouples should be located on the bottom of the piping
specimens (nearest the fire source) per the guidance of ASTM E 1725. Although ASTM E
1725 requires thermocouples to be located at 6 inch intervals along the length of the cable
specimens, this requirement was considered excessive for a proof-of-concept test for piping.
10. The hose stream test should follow the guidance of ASTM E 2226.
2-6
13068079
11. The specimens should be water filled to: (1) simulate most piping systems where HDPE is
expected to be used, (2) provide weight to help reach the code allowable stress of 800 psi
within the size constraints of the furnace, and (3) provide a safer test environment than would
be achieved using air or other gasses as a pressurizing medium. Although water does add
thermal mass, and thus reduces pipe skin temperature, the water was stagnant during the test
to minimize this effect.
12. The piping wall thicknesses (DR) should be representative of expected field applications.

TEST SPECIMENS
3.1 Piping Configurations
A total of 4 piping subassemblies were selected for the test as described in the following
sections.
3.1.1 Specimen A - 2 Inch Pipe with Valve
Specimen A is a 2 inch diameter PE 4710 pipe 1 with a diameter ratio (DR) of 11 2 and with a rod
hanger located 2 inches from the end of the specimen (2 inches from the joint between the
straight pipe and the end cap). A 12 inch long rounded plate was used between the pipe and the
hanger to spread out the load. A second support was located 3 inches outside of the furnace wall.
A manually operated, off-the-shelf PE ball valve 3 was placed in the center of the span between
the 2 supports, which is at the location of maximum bending stress.
Outside of the furnace, there is a horizontal run of approximately 36 inches, an elbow, followed
by a 36 inch high vertical run. At the top of the vertical run is a blind flange with pressure taps
to fill and drain the specimen and provide the required pressurization. A sketch of the specimen
is shown in Figure 3-1. A photograph of the pipe without the fire barrier is shown in Figure 3-2,
and the pressurization assembly, with feed and bleed is shown in Figure 3-3. A photograph of
the pipe support provided outside of the furnace is provided in Figure 3-4.
Specimen A was pressurized to ~100 psi. The combination of pressure and deadweight resulted
in a maximum stress of ~789 psi at the valve location, which was approximately 10% higher
than the Code Case N-755-1 allowable stress of 719 psi at 89.6°F (ambient temperature at start
of test) 4. The deadweight stress included the weight of water, the pipe, 8 layers of the fire barrier
material, the end cap, and the weight of the valve. It should be noted that the stress analysis did

All straight pipe and mitered elbows used in the fire test were identified on the print line as Drisoplex PW 4100
PE3408/4710 ANSI/AWWAC906 PC100 ASTMF714 125PSI NSF/ANSI61 HG4 =23FEB11. The cell
classification is 445574C, but the resin is considered to be unimodal.
2
Wall thicknesses for polyethylene pipe are typically specified using a diameter or dimension ratio, which is defined
as the “average outside diameter of the pipe divided by the minimum fabricated wall thickness” [2].
3
The ball valve was manufactured by Georg Fischer Central Plastics LLC. It is constructed with a PE 4710 bimodal
valve body; an ABS actuator stem and nut; a nylon ball and retainer; and NBR (nitrile rubber) ball seat, seal, and O-
rings.

The 10% overstress was inadvertent. It resulted from an assumed test ambient temperature of 73°F, whereas the
actual ambient temperature at start of test was 89.6°F.

Test Specimens
not assume any support was provided by the penetration seal, as it is somewhat flexible. A copy
of the stress analysis is provided in Attachment A.
The objectives of the Specimen A test were as follows:

• Measure the skin temperature of a small diameter pipe with a minimum amount of thermal
mass.
• Ensure that the penetration seal met criteria during and following the test.
• Identify any leakage that may occur from the PE valve.
• Determine if the valve can be operated (opened and closed) following the test.
• Evaluate the barrier material wrapping method used for the pipe, end cap, pipe support, and
valve.
• Identify any leakage or gross distortion of the specimen during or following the test.
The 4 thermocouple locations chosen for the test are shown in Figures 3-1 and 3-2. The
thermocouples were surface mounted PMC KK-FB/FB-24 (24 gage, Type K, fiberglass
jacketed), attached using 3M Scotch™ 27 Glass Cloth Electrical Tape. Additionally, 6
thermocouples were mounted on the outside of the furnace wall, immediately adjacent to the
exterior penetration seal, and spaced around the circumference.

3.1.2 Specimen B - 4 Inch Pipe with Tee
Specimen B is a 4 inch diameter PE 4710 pipe with a DR of 11 and with a rod hanger located 15
inches from end of the specimen. A 12 inch long rounded plate was used between the pipe and
the hanger to spread out the load. A second support was located 3 inches outside of the furnace
wall. A tee with dead leg was placed in the center of the span between the 2 supports, which is
at the location of maximum bending stress. Outside of the furnace, there is a horizontal run of
approximately 44 inches, an elbow, followed by a 36 inch high vertical run. The top of the
vertical run was open to allow the specimen to be filled with water. A sketch of the specimen is
shown in Figure 3-5. A photograph of the pipe without the fire barrier is shown in Figure 3-6.
Specimen B was minimally pressurized using just the 36 inch high water column. The
combination of pressure and deadweight resulted in a maximum stress of ~877 psi at the tee
location, which is ~22% higher than the Code Case N-755-1 allowable stress of 719 psi at 89.6°F
(ambient temperature at start of test). This overstress was intentionally done to further test the
limits of the fire barriers. The deadweight stress included the weight of water, the pipe, 7 layers
of the fire barrier material, the end caps, and the weight of the tee. A copy of the stress analysis
is provided in Attachment A.
The objectives of the Specimen B test were as follows:

3.1.3 Specimen C - 4 Inch Pipe with Flange
Specimen C is a 4 inch diameter PE 4710 pipe with a DR of 11 and with a rod hanger located at
the end of the specimen (centered at the joint between the straight pipe and the end cap). A 12
inch long rounded plate was used between the pipe and the hanger to spread out the load. A
second support was located 3 inches outside of the furnace wall. A flange was placed in the
center of the span between the 2 supports, which is at the location of maximum bending stress.
Outside of the furnace, there is a horizontal run of approximately 36 inches, an elbow, followed
by a 36- inch high vertical run. The top of the vertical run was open to allow the specimen to be
filled with water. A sketch of the specimen is shown in Figure 3-7.
The flange bolts were torqued to 50 ft lbs following the recommendations of [9] and [23]. The
flange bolts were retorqued 24 hours after they were initially torqued. No flange gasket was
used in the test, following the practices of [9]. A 50 lb weight was placed on top of the flange to
increase the total longitudinal bending stress on the specimen. The 50 lb weight was attached to
a long rod that penetrated the ceiling of the furnace and was calibrated so that the deflection of
the flange could be measured during the test.
Specimen C was minimally pressurized using just the 36 inch high water column. The
combination of pressure and deadweight resulted in a maximum stress of ~800 psi at the flange
location which was approximately 11% higher than the Code Case N-755-1 allowable stress of
719 psi at 89.6°F (ambient temperature at start of test) 5. The deadweight stress included the
weight of water, the pipe, 7 layers of the fire barrier material, the end caps, the 50 lb weight, and
the weight of the flange. A copy of the stress analysis is provided in Attachment A.

2.1.4 Specimen D - 4 Inch Pipe with Elbows
Specimen D is a 4 inch diameter PE 4710 pipe with a DR of 11. The test section is “C” shaped
with 2 mitered elbows, 2 wall penetrations, and with a rod hanger located mid span between the
2 elbows. A 12 inch long rounded plate was used between the pipe and the hanger to spread out
the load. External supports were located on each leg 3 inches outside of the furnace wall. The
maximum bending stress occurs in each elbow. Outside of the furnace, there is a horizontal run
of approximately 40 inches, and an elbow, followed by a 36-inch high vertical run on each leg.
The top of each vertical run was open to allow the specimen to be filled with water. Flanges

were used on each leg to allow the assembly to be inserted into the furnace. A sketch of the
specimen is shown in Figure 3-8. A photograph of the pipe without the fire barrier is shown in
Figure 3-9.
Specimen B was minimally pressurized using just the 36 inch high water column. The
combination of pressure and deadweight resulted in a maximum stress of ~798 psi at the elbow
locations which was approximately 11% higher than the Code Case N-755-1 allowable stress of
719 psi at 89.6°F (ambient temperature at start of test) 6. The deadweight stress included the
weight of water, the pipe, 7 layers of the fire barrier material, the end caps, and the weight of the
elbows. Stress intensification factors used for the elbows were taken from [7]. A copy of the
stress analysis is provided in Attachment A.
The objectives of the Specimen D test were as follows:

• Ensure that the penetration seals met criteria during and following the test.
• Evaluate the barrier material wrapping method used for the pipe, pipe support, and elbows.
The 5 thermocouple locations chosen for the test are shown in Figures 3-8 and 3-10. The
thermocouples were surface mounted PMC KK-FB/FB-24, attached using 3M Scotch™ 27 Glass
Cloth Electrical Tape. Additionally, 12 thermocouples were mounted on the outside of the
furnace wall, 6 near each leg, immediately adjacent to the exterior penetration seal, and spaced
around the circumference.

3.2 Fire Barriers
3.2.1 Pipe Wrapping Products and Process
The portion of the HDPE piping located inside the penetration and inside the furnace were
wrapped with 7 or 8 layers of 3M™ Interam™ E-5A-4 Endothermic Mat (E-Mat) [24]. The use
of 7 or 8 layers of E-Mat followed the manufacturer's recommendation, which was based on
some preliminary fire testing of straight pipe. E-Mat is a flexible mat made of ceramic fibers and
inorganic endothermic material that contains chemically bound water. When exposed to high
temperatures, the water is released to cool the outer surfaces of the wrap and significantly retard
3-10
13068079
Test Specimens
heat transfer. Each layer is approximately 0.4 in thick, and multiple layers can be used to
increase the level of protection.
The 24.5 inch wide rolls of E-Mat were cut into lengths sufficient to fully wrap a 24.5 inch long
section of pipe in the circumferential direction, plus a approximately 2 inch wide overlap (see
Figure 3-11). The adjoining section of pipe was similarly wrapped, but with the longitudinal
seams staggered as not to align with the first seam. This process was repeated until the entire
length of pipe was wrapped. The next layer of wrap was similarly applied, but with both
longitudinal and circumferential seams staggered as not to align with the first seam. See Figures
3-12 and 3-13. All seams in all layers, both longitudinal and circumferential, were taped using
3M™ Aluminum Foil Tape 425 [25], and rolled to ensure good adhesion. See Figures 3-14 to 3-
16. Gaps 1/8 inch and greater between the adjoining pieces of E-Mat were filled using 3M™
Fire Barrier Sealant CP 25WB+ [26]. See Figure 3-17. Once all wraps were installed, each
individual outer wrap was banded with two or three 1/2” wide stainless steel banding straps.
At locations where the geometry precluded straight circumferential wrapping (i. e., at the valve,
elbows, and tee), the E-Mat was cut into the desired shape and then wrapped around the pipe.
See Figures 3-18 through 3-22. At the flange, the straight pipe process was used to butt up to the
flange face. The applicable number of layers were used along the side of the flange, and then the
applicable number of layers were used to cover the top of the flange. See Figures 3-23 to 3-25.
At the end caps, a plug of E-Mat was made with the desired number of layers that was placed
over the end cap, then overlaid with the straight pipe wrap, the fire barrier sealant, and the foil
tape. See Figures 3-26 to 3-28.
Pipe supports hanger clevises were integrally wrapped with the pipe. The hanger rods were also
wrapped with 3 layers of E-Mat and banded to preclude heat transmission from the hanger to the
pipe. See Figures 3-29 to 3-32.
This process was repeated until each pipe had the defined number of wraps applied. See Figures
3-33 through 3-36 for final appearance of Specimens A, B, C, and D, respectively.

3.2.2 Penetration Seal Products and Process
Two types of penetration seal designs were used. Type 1 penetrations utilized wrapped pipes
that went completely through the wall. Type 2 penetrations terminated the wrapping at the wall
surface on both side of the wall. Both types of designs filled the penetrations as much as
practical using 3M™ Fire Barrier Packing Material PM 4 [27], Figures 3-37 and 3-38. The ends
of the penetrations, both inside and outside of the furnace, were sealed using 3M CP 25WB+ Fire
Barrier Sealant to form a nominal 1 inch chamfered edge between the wall and the wrapped pipe
on both sides of the wall. See Figures 3-39 to 3-41. The furnace ceiling 7 penetrations were
filled similar to the wall penetrations.

3.4 Test Setup
The 4 test specimens were installed in a custom fabricated 6 inch thick inverted “L” shaped
reinforced concrete wall and ceiling configuration that can be seen in many of the preceding
figures. Construction of the wall/ceiling configuration is shown in Figure 3-42. Holes were cut
in the wall and ceiling for the pipe, the pipe rod hangers, the extension rod for the 50 lb weight
placed on Specimen C, and for the temperature probes placed inside the furnace specimens to

pass through. The layout of the specimens in the furnace is shown in Figures 3-43 and 3-44.
After allowing the penetration seals (the CP 25EB+ sealant) approximately 30 days to cure, the
entire assemblage was moved to Intertek's 7 ft by 12 ft furnace (see Figure 3-45).
Ten temperature probes were used to monitor temperatures within the furnace. Two were
located near each of the 2 side walls (Figure 3-45) and 6 were located near the wall containing
the pipe penetrations (Figure 3-46). The temperature probes were monitored to control the
temperature of the furnace and match the temperature profile prescribed by ASTM E119. Final
configuration of the furnace and piping assemblies is shown in Figure 3-47.

TEST RESULTS AND DATA ANALYSIS
The 4 specimens were tested to the full 3-hour duration proscribed by ASTM E119 and NFPA
251 and 804. Room ambient temperature at the start of the test was 89°F; the initial temperature
inside the furnace was 84°F. After initiation of the test, the furnace temperature was monitored
using the 10 temperature probes discussed in Section 3.4, and used to control the burners to meet
the required time-temperature profile. See Appendix B. Test results for each test specimen are
presented and discussed in Section 4.1. Results of the hose stream test are provided in Section
4.2. Final observations of each specimen are provided in Section 4.3.
4.1 Fire Barrier Test
The 2 inch pipe with valve was monitored for pressure and signs of leakage. During the test, the
internal pressure (initially 100 psi) tended to slowly decrease. This was expected due to HDPE's
relatively low modulus of elasticity that decreases with temperature [4], its relatively high
coefficient of thermal expansion, as well as it's well known propensity to creep. When the
pressure dropped to approximately 97 or 98 psi, the system was repressurized to 100 psi. This
happened 4 or 5 times during the test. There was no loss of fluid inventory.
Approximately 60 minutes into the test, the temperature of the thermocouple mounted on the
center of the valve started to climb and reached a temperature of 210°F, or approximately the
boiling temperature of water, at 160 minutes. It then held steady until completion of the test.
This was indicative of water/steam release from the E-Mat had reached the pipe surface. At the
end of the test, the other 3 thermocouples had maximum temperature readings of 136°F, 135°F,
and 126°F.
At 210°F, an extrapolation of the tensile results in [4] would indicate a yield stress of a unimodal
HDPE material of approximately 800- 850 psi. At a pipe skin temperature of 210°F, the pressure
and deadweight loads applied to the specimen throughout the test resulted in hoop and
longitudinal stresses that approached the pipe yield stress.
The pipe penetration through the furnace wall was also closely monitored for signs of leakage or
gross deformation of the specimen. The 6 thermocouples mounted on the exterior penetration
seal and/or the concrete near the seal measured temperatures in the range of 212 - 260°F. This is
considered to be due to heat conduction through the concrete furnace wall. No leakage through
the penetration seal was observed, and it was not necessary to use a cotton pad test.

13068079
Test Results and Data Analysis
The 4 inch pipe with tee was monitored for pressure and signs of leakage. This pipe was
intentionally loaded to a longitudinal stress ~877 psi, which exceeded the Code allowable stress
of 719 psi at room temperature. In particular, the torsional stress on the main run was very high.
Internal pressure was applied by a ~36 in high column of water, thus the hoop stress was quite
low. During the test, there was no loss of fluid inventory. A photo of Specimen B taken through
an observation porthole is shown in Figure 4-1.
Approximately 130 minutes into the test, 3 of the thermocouples mounted on the pipe were
measuring temperatures in the range of 180°F. By 150 minutes, the thermocouple on the tee had
reached ~200°F, which is near the boiling temperature of water. This was indicative of
water/steam release from the E-Mat had reached the pipe surface. By the end of the test, the
temperature of the tee had reached 209°F.
As discussed in 4.1.1, at 209°F, an extrapolation of the tensile results in [4] would indicate a
yield stress of a unimodal HDPE material of approximately 800- 850 psi. Thus the longitudinal
stress on the specimen likely exceeded its yield stress, as indicated by the permanent torsional
deformation of the tee (see Section 4.3.2). However, as discussed above, there was no loss of the
pressure boundary, or overall structural integrity and shape.
gross deformation of the specimen. The maximum temperature recorded for the 6 thermocouples
mounted on or near the exterior penetration seal was 265°F. This is considered to be due to heat
conduction through the concrete furnace wall. No leakage through the penetration seal was
observed, and it was not necessary to use a cotton pad test.

The 4 inch pipe with flange was monitored for pressure and signs of leakage. This longitudinal
bending stress at the flange was approximately 800 psi. This was achieved with the addition of a
50 lb weight that was placed on top of the flange. A rod attached to the weight passed through
the furnace ceiling, and was monitored throughout the test to measure deflection of the flange.
Internal pressure stress was applied by a ~36 in high column of water, thus the hoop stress was
quite low. During the test, there was no loss of fluid inventory. However, the rod on top of the
flange indicated a flange deflection of approximately 2 1/2 inches. Following the fire test and
the hose stream test, the piping was found to have retained its overall configuration and shape,
but clearly there was some permanent bending deformation of the pipe, centered at the flange
(see Section 4.3.3).
Approximately 112 minutes into the test, the thermocouple mounted on the pipe to flange
interface suddenly increased in temperature from 144°F to 210°F, or approximately the boiling
temperature of water. This temperature held steady until completion of the test and was
indicative that water/steam release from the E-Mat had reached the pipe surface. The zone of
high temperature gradually spread along the length of the pipe through the duration of the test,
but the maximum temperature of the other 4 thermocouples never exceeded 169°F.
gross deformation of the specimen. The 6 thermocouples mounted on or near the exterior
penetration seal measured temperatures up to 273°F. This is considered to be due to heat
conduction through the concrete furnace wall. No leakage through the penetration seal was
observed, and it was not necessary to use a cotton pad test.
The 4 inch pipe with 2 mitered elbows was monitored for pressure and signs of leakage. Internal
pressure was applied by a ~36 in high column of water, thus the hoop stress was quite low.
During the test, there was no evidence of loss of fluid inventory. During the test, the
thermocouples measured a maximum skin temperature of 144°F. Following the fire test and the
hose stream test, the piping was found to have retained its overall configuration and shape, with
no significant permanent deformation
gross deformation of the specimen. The 12 thermocouples mounted on or near the exterior
penetration seal of each leg (6 thermocouples near each penetration) measured temperatures up
to 247°F. This is considered to be due to heat conduction through the concrete furnace wall. No
leakage through the penetration seal was observed, and it was not necessary to use a cotton pad
test.

4.2 Hose Stream Test
Following the fire test, the entire assembly was moved to perform a host stream test. See Figures
4-2 through 4-5. The small flames visible in Figures 4-2 and 4-3 were gases that escaped from
the binder in the E-Mat and the sealant. These self-extinguished as the specimens started to cool.
A hose stream test was performed following the requirements of ASTM E119 and ASTM E2226.
The duration of the hose stream was 1 minute 59 seconds, per ASTM E814 and ASTM E2226
(1.5 seconds per ft2 of exposed area). The water stream was applied from a distance of 20 feet,
an angle of 90°, and a pressure of 30 psig.
All penetrations met the requirements of the hose stream test. Water was not transmitted through
the penetrations and the unexposed side of the four test specimens appeared to be undamaged.
See Figures 4-6 and 4-7. While the E-Mat was found to be heavily damaged, as per its design,
observations made of exposed sides of the 4 specimens are provided in the following sections:

4.3 Overall Test Results
Specimen A retained its initial configuration. See Figure 4-8 and 4-9. Removal of the E-Mat
from around the valve found that the actuator nut on the top of the valve had partially melted and
stuck to the E-Mat (see Figure 4-10). However the valve itself appeared to be undamaged and
could be opened and closed from the valve stem. No inspection was made of the valve internals,
nor was the valve tested for its ability to fully open and fully close, or to hold pressure from one
side to the other.

Specimen B was found to have undergone some permanent deformation. In particular, there was
permanent torsional deformation of the run pipe. See Figure 4-11. However, the pipe retained
its overall configuration and cross section, as well as its leak tight integrity. A discussion of the
permanent deformation is provided in Section 5.

CONCLUSIONS
Overall, the test met its objectives and demonstrated that HDPE can be successfully protected
from a postulated fire event. The pipe retained its overall geometry and cross section, and
retained structural and pressure boundary integrity throughout the test. The wall and ceiling
penetrations held and no excessive heat was transmitted through the penetrations during the fire
test, nor was any water transmitted through the penetrations during the hose stream test. Only
one of the penetration seals experienced any significant cracking due to the thermal shock and
erosion force of the hose stream test. However, as discussed above, it did not transmit any heat
during the fire test nor smoke or water during the hose stream test. A discussion of 3 abnormal
observations follows:
The pipe surface temperatures of Specimen A exceeded the target temperature of 175°F and the
actuator nut was found to have melted. The valve used in the test was an off-the-shelf
commercial product. The higher than desired surface temperature and the melting of the actuator
nut is judged to have been caused by two factors:
a. Wrapping of the valve was somewhat difficult due to its complex shape and close proximity
to the pipe hanger. Some improvements to the wrapping method and/or additional layers of
the insulating material may have prevented this.
b. The actuator nut was made of ABS, which has a lower melting temperature (~221°F
(105°C)) than HDPE.
Specimen B (pipe with tee) was found to have permanent torsional displacement. This is judged
to have been caused by two factors:
a. The pipe was initially loaded to ~877 psi combined torsional and bending stress, which is
~22% higher than the Code Case N-755-1 allowable stress of 719 psi at 89.6°F (ambient
temperature at start of test).
b. The surface temperature of the tee reached 209°F, which was considerably higher than the
target temperature of ~175°F. Some improvements to the wrapping method used for the tee
and/or additional layers of the insulating material may have prevented this.
Specimen C (pipe with flange) was found to have permanent bending displacement (~2 1/2 in
vertical deflection). This is judged to have been caused by three factors:
a. The 50 lb metal weight was placed directly on the wrapped flange with no intervening
element that would have stopped conductive hear transfer. Thus the flange area was subject
5-1
13068079
Conclusions
to convective and radiation heat transfer, as were the other pipe components in the furnace,
plus conductive heat transfer from the metal weight.
b. The surface temperature of the flange reached 210°F, which was considerably higher than the
target temperature of ~175°F. Some improvements to the wrapping method use for the
flange and/or additional layers of the insulating material may have prevented this.
c. The applied stress of 800 psi was approximately 11% higher than the Code Case N-755-1
allowable stress of 719 psi at 89.6°F (ambient temperature at start of test)

1.0 BACKGROUND
Under this project, the fire resistance of HDPE pipe and pipe fittings will be investigated. The
pipe assemblies will be protected by fire resistant thermal insulation wrapping provided by 3M
Company. 2” and 4” diameter HDPE pipe assemblies with various fittings will be placed in a
combustion chamber and subjected to controlled flames. The size of the pipe assemblies is
limited by the space inside the combustion chamber. The purpose of this calculation is to design
test specimens that when installed in the test fixture are subjected to an initial stress of 800 psi.
The stress will be achieved by a combination of deadweight bending moments, torsional
moments and internal pressure. All calculations will be done at room temperature conditions.
2.0 METHOD OF EVALUATION
For each piping configuration, a simplified pipe stress model will be created using the ADLPIPE
pipe stress analysis program. Equation 8 will be used to total the deadweight and pressure
stresses. The point with the highest stress will be determined. The geometry of the specimen
will be adjusted until the highest stress is at least 800 psi.
3.0 INFORMATION RECEIVED FROM EPRI
Simple hand calculations based on simply supported beam equations were conducted by EPRI.
The dimensions suggested in the calculations were used to create the ADLPIPE models and then
adjusted as needed. The pipe properties used for the hand calculations are acceptable medium
values based on various piping manufacturers’ catalog and were also used in the ADLPIPE
analyis.

Design Assumptions for Fire Test Specimens
1. Assembly A: 2 inch SDR 17
• Insulation = per 3M assume 8 layers of Emat, thickness = 0.4 in/layer, density = 54 lb/ft3
• Do = 2.375, Di = 2.095, Dave = 2.235, t = 0.140 in, Z = 0.519 in3
• Pressurized to 100 psi, hoop stress = 798 psi, longitudinal pressure stress = 399 psi
• Wpipe = 0.034 lb/in, Wwater = 0.120 lb/in, Winsul = 1.75 lb/in, Wtotal = 1.904 lb/in
• Assuming valve weight = pipe weight and simple supports, σ = wL2/8Z; to achieve 400
psi bending stress (pressure + bending = allowable of 800 psi), then L (span between
supports) = 29.53"
• If the extra weight of the valve is considered, then the span will go down somewhat.
2. Assembly B (Pipe with tee): 4 inch SDR 17
• Do = 4.50, Di = 3.97, t = 0.265 in, Z = 3.527 in3
• Pressurized to ~1 psi, hoop stress = ~8 psi, longitudinal pressure stress = ~4 psi
• Assuming simple supports, tee length = 24 inch, neglecting torsion and assuming B2 for
tee = 1; then to achieve 796 psi bending stress (pressure + bending = allowable of 800
psi), then L (span between supports) = ~71"
• If torsion is considered, then the span will go down somewhat.

A-5
• Do = 4.50, Di = 3.97, t = 0.265 in, Z = 3.527 in3
• Assuming simple supports, flange weight = pipe weight; then for a furnace maximum
span of 78 inch, then the bending stress = ~573 psi
• If extra weight of the flange is added, then the stress will go up somewhat.
• To achieve code stress of 800 psi, one option might be to attach some distributed weight
(lead?) to the pipe, or to hang some weight from the flange. Other ideas?

• Do = 4.50, Di = 3.97, t = 0.265 in, Z = 3.527 in3
• Assuming simple supports, elbow weight = pipe weight; assuming B2 for elbow = 2.21;
then to achieve 796 psi bending stress (pressure + bending = allowable of 800 psi), then L
(span between supports) = ~63.4"

5.0 ANALYSIS ASSUMPTIONS
The ADLPIPE stress analysis program requires that the piping models include at least one
anchor. An anchor is a six-way restrain that does not allow any movement or rotation. In this
case, the test samples to be analyzed will by placed in an enclosed chamber. The pipes will
extend through penetrations in the sidewall of the chamber and will also be supported on the
outside of the chamber. The penetrations are not anchors with zero degrees of freedom.
Modeling the pipes anchored at the penetration would have resulted in the highest stresses at
those anchors. It is assumed that the penetrations do not act as anchors with zero degrees of
freedom, but allow for rotation. It was therefore decided to approximate the models as beams
with a three-way support at the penetration and a vertical support where they will be hung from
the top of the chamber. However, to meet the requirement that the piping models be anchored,
anchors were placed two ft from the penetration and a bellows element was added to essentially
decouple the pipe from the anchor. This results in stresses that are similar to what can be
calculated from simply supported beam equations. The highest stresses are now at the location
of the highest moment due to deadweight load, e.g. the center of the flange assembly or the
valve.

Pipe A, a 2” SDR 17 pipe with a ball valve, is modeled as a straight pipe with a concentrated
weight of 4.63 lb placed at the center of the valve. The valve weight is taken from a catalog
published by Integrity, a distributor of HDPE butt fusion ball valves. The pipe is then
pressurized to an internal pressure of 100 psig.
Pipe B contains a molded tee. This assembly is also modeled as pipe with a branch section. B1
is taken as 0.5, B2R as 1.0 and B2B as 1.5. The B2 values are based on 0.75i with the being
approximated as 1.33 for the run and 2.0 for the branch.
Pipe C is a flanged HDPE to HDPE joint. The pipe is modeled as straight pipe with a
concentrated weight applied at the center of the flanged joint. A total weight of 50 lbs is
required to achieve the deadweight moment necessary to achieve a stress of 800 lbs. The length
of the specimen cannot be increased due to the space limitations of the combustion chamber.
Pipe D is an assembly containing two mitered bends. The assembly is modeled as such with Bi
=0.5 and B2 = 2.21 applied at the miters.
