Rapid crack propagation can occur along pressurised pipelines of polyethylene, if a well-defined (but as yet unpredictable) crifical pressure is exceeded. The standard for type-testing of pipe to meet exacting service conditions is currently set by full-scale tests. Results from the British Gas ful
