Identifying the Necessary Solutions to Prevent the Fracture of the Polyethylene Pipe undergoing a Squeeze-off Procedure

Eugen Avrigean ^[14]

Abstract: The present paper aims to observe the way in which the polyethylene pipe is deformed when acted upon by a radial stress caused by a mechanical squeeze-off tool, in order to avoid that the thickness reduction in the contact area causes a fracture in the future. Several possible solutions to increase the safety in operation are suggested.
