Liquid Flows
Short term internal pressure surges such as water
hammer result from instantaneous liquid flow velocity
changes. These conditions are accommodated above the
long-term internal pressure rating by short-term physical
capabilities.
For distribution and transmission of liquids such as water
or water-borne slurries, the standard surge pressure
allowance above the long-term design pressure rating is:

vacuum will attempt to flatten the pipe. Freestanding nonpressure pipe in surface, sliplining, submerged and like
applications is not supported by embedment or other
external confinement that can significantly enhance
resistance to flattening from external pressure. The
resistance of freestanding pipe to flattening from external
pressure depends on wall thickness (pipe DR), elastic
properties (time and temperature dependent elastic
modulus and Poissons ratio), and roundness.

Table 7 ratings for PE4710 and PE3608/PE3408 are for free-standing non-pressure pipe with 3% ovality using a safety factor of 2;
short-term Poisson ratio, 0.35, used for day load duration; long-term Poisson ratio, 0.45, used for all other load durations. Ratings
will vary for greater or lesser ovality, safety factor and load duration. Internal pressure will increase external load resistance by
rounding the pipe and counteracting external load. Burial in suitable, properly installed embedment soils can more than triple external
load resistance.
