The U.S. gas distribution network of approximately 1.3 million miles of distribution mains and services serving nearly 50 million customers is approximately 5% cast iron pipe, 79% steel and 16% plastic - the vast majority of plastic pipe being polyethylene (PE). Topics considered in this paper include natural gas distribution systems, pipelines, welded joints, pipe joints, and materials testing.
