Shock Wave Speed and Transient Response of PE Pipe with Steel-Mesh Reinforcement

Abstract: A steel mesh can improve the tensile strength and stability of a polyethylene (PE) pipe in a water supply pipeline system. However, it can also cause more severe water hammer hazard due to increasing wave speed. In order to analyze the influence of the steel mesh on the shock wave speed and transient response processes, an improved wave speed formula is proposed by incorporating the equivalent elastic modulus. A field measurement validates the wave speed formula. Moreover, the transient wave propagation and ex… Show more

“…These pressure waves are described as a rapid pressure change that travel at pressure wave speed in the liquid-pipe medium. In pressurized water pipes, the pressure waves travel about 1000 m/s in metallic pipes and around 400 m/s in polymeric pipes (Duan et al 2020, Wan andMao 2016). When these waves encounter discontinuities, they are partially reflected and transmitted through the pipe system.…”
