TY - JOUR PY - 1985// TI - Polyvinylchloride (PVC) pipe reliability and failure modes JO - Reliability engineering A1 - Mock Carroll, Margaret SP - 11 EP - 21 VL - 13 IS - 1 N2 - Research on plastic pipe failures revealed that pipe and fittings often had manufacturing flaws and that many common installation practices could cause significant damage to the piping. To determine effects of failure of pressurized PVC pipe, tests were conducted to characterize failure modes and consequences.
