Line 27: *[[Sewerage\|Sewer]] applications: High [[chemical resistance]] Plastic pipes are capable of fulfilling the specific requirement for each application. They do so over a long lifetime and with reliability and safety.<ref>{{Cite ~~web~~news\|url=https://www.acu-tech.com.au/about-us/why-use-hdpe/\|title=Why Use HDPE - What is HDPE Pipe?\|website=Acu-Tech Piping Systems\|language=en-AU\|access-date=2019-01-04}}</ref> The key success factor is achieved by maintaining consistently high quality levels. For plastic pipe products, these levels are defined by the different standards. Two aspects are fundamentally important for the performance of plastic pipes: flexibility and long lifetime.<ref>{{Cite web\|url = http://www.teppfa.eu/why-use-plastic-pipe-systems/\|title = Why use Plastic Pipe Systems\|last = TEPPFA, The European Plastic Pipes and Fittings Association}}</ref> ==Materials used== Line 59: === HDPE (high-density polyethylene) === [[High-density polyethylene]] (HDPE) - HDPE pipe is strong, flexible and light weight.

Plastic pipes were also found to fail more often during dry, hot summers.<ref>{{Cite ~~web~~journal\|url=https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-023-33548-7\|title=Assessment of the impacts of climate change on water supply system pipe failures\|date=2023 \|doi=10.1038/s41598-023-33548-7 \|last1=Fan \|first1=Xudong \|last2=Zhang \|first2=Xijin \|last3=Yu \|first3=Allen \|last4=Speitel \|first4=Matthew \|last5=Yu \|first5=Xiong \|journal=Scientific Reports \|volume=13 \|page=7349 \|bibcode=2023NatSR..13.7349F }}</ref> === Flexibility ===
