title = "Fuel gas permeability of non-metallic pipes",
abstract = "Replacement of natural gas with hydrogen in fuel gas distribution systems may require changes to existing systems. The permeability of non-metallic pipes may produce safety or efficiency problems. There is little data in the literature characterizing the permeability of plastic gas pipes. In this work effort the fuel gas loss due to permeation in nonmetallic gaseous fuel pipes was experimentally determined. Since the majority of nonmetallic gas pipes are currently polyethylene, the emphasis was placed on determining the permeability of various types of polyethylene pipes. The energy leakage rates of hydrogen were found to be approximately twice that of methane. Both were negligibly low.",
