Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of molecular composite materials technology, specifically to a multilayer co-extruded MPP cable protection pipe and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] MPP (modified polypropylene) cable protection pipes are widely used in cable laying protection in power, telecommunications, and municipal engineering fields due to their excellent insulation, high temperature resistance, impact resistance, and corrosion resistance. With the rapid development of urban power grid construction, the performance requirements for MPP cable protection pipes are also increasing. Not only are good mechanical properties required, but the pipes also need to possess multiple functions such as conductivity, antistatic properties, flame retardancy, and weather resistance to meet the demands of use in complex environments.
[0003] Currently, MPP cable protection pipes on the market generally suffer from the following technical deficiencies: First, most pipes are single-layer structures, making it difficult to simultaneously meet multiple functional requirements. To achieve multiple functions, a large amount of various additives are needed, leading to decreased processing performance and significantly increased costs. Second, existing multi-layer co-extruded pipes generally suffer from poor interlayer bonding, which can easily lead to delamination and peeling during long-term use, affecting the service life of the pipes. Third, conductive modification often uses carbon black fillers, which has problems such as large addition amounts, unstable conductivity, easy precipitation, and affecting the color of the pipes. Fourth, reinforcing modification often uses glass fiber, which has problems such as exposed fibers, rough surfaces, severe wear on processing equipment, and high specific gravity. Fifth, flame-retardant modification often uses inorganic flame retardants such as magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide, which have large filling amounts, leading to a significant decrease in the mechanical properties of the pipes, poor toughness, and easy cracking at low temperatures.
[0004] Therefore, developing a multi-layer co-extruded MPP cable protection pipe with a reasonable structural design, strong interlayer bonding, excellent comprehensive performance, and the ability to simultaneously meet multiple functional requirements has significant practical application value.

[0011] Furthermore, the aluminum hypophosphite-melamine cyanurate-montmorillonite ternary synergistic flame retardant system is prepared by high-speed melt composite of aluminum hypophosphite, melamine cyanurate, and organically modified montmorillonite in a weight ratio of 2-3:1:0.5-1; wherein the organically modified montmorillonite is hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide modified montmorillonite.

[0015] The present invention also provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned multilayer co-extruded MPP cable protection tube, comprising the following steps: S1 Functional Filler Pre-preparation: Polyaniline in-situ coated expanded graphite conductive filler, silanized aramid pulp, lignin-based phosphorus-nitrogen intumescent flame retardant, maleic anhydride-styrene graft copolymer, itaconic acid modified microcrystalline cellulose, and aluminum hypophosphite-melamine cyanurate-montmorillonite ternary synergistic flame retardant system were prepared separately for later use. S2 Raw material pretreatment: Weigh out the raw materials of conductive wear-resistant inner layer, reinforced and toughened middle layer and weather-resistant and flame-retardant outer layer according to the weight parts, put them into a high-speed mixer, heat to 90-100℃, mix at high speed for 8-15 minutes to obtain three groups of premixed materials. S3 Twin-screw granulation: The three groups of premixed materials prepared by S2 are fed into three twin-screw extruders respectively. The temperature of each section is controlled at 170-200℃ and the screw speed is 200-300r / min. Melt extrusion granulation is carried out to obtain conductive and wear-resistant inner layer granules, reinforced and toughened middle layer granules, and weather-resistant and flame-retardant outer layer granules respectively. S4 Three-layer co-extrusion molding: The three types of granules prepared in S3 are added to three single-screw extruders respectively. The discharge ports of the three extruders are simultaneously connected to the three-layer co-extrusion die head. The temperature of each extruder is controlled at 180-210℃, the die head temperature is controlled at 200-220℃, and the extrusion rate of each layer is controlled to make the thickness ratio 1:2-3:1-1.5. After vacuum sizing, cooling, traction and cutting, the three-layer co-extruded pipe semi-finished product is obtained. S5 Heat treatment enhances interface bonding: The three-layer co-extruded pipe semi-finished product prepared by S4 is placed in an oven at 85-95℃ for heat treatment for 2-4 hours. After being taken out, it is naturally cooled to room temperature to obtain the finished multi-layer co-extruded MPP cable protection pipe.
[0016] Further, in S1, the preparation method of the itaconic acid modified microcrystalline cellulose is as follows: microcrystalline cellulose is added to deionized water to prepare a suspension with a concentration of 10%-15%, heated to 70-80℃, protected by nitrogen gas, itaconic acid and ammonium persulfate initiator are added, and the mixture is stirred for 3-5 hours. After the reaction is completed, the mixture is filtered, washed, and dried to obtain itaconic acid modified microcrystalline cellulose; the amount of ammonium persulfate used is 1%-3% of the mass of microcrystalline cellulose.
[0017] Further, in S1, the preparation method of the aluminum hypophosphite-melamine cyanurate-montmorillonite ternary synergistic flame retardant system is as follows: Weigh aluminum hypophosphite, melamine cyanurate, and organically modified montmorillonite according to the weight ratio, add them to a high-speed mixer, heat to 100-120℃, and mix at a high speed of 1500-2000r / min for 10-20min to fully compound and disperse the three components under thermal shear. After discharge, cool to room temperature to obtain the ternary synergistic flame retardant system.
[0018] Further, in S1, the preparation method of the polyaniline in-situ coated expanded graphite conductive filler is as follows: Expanded graphite is added to a 1 mol / L hydrochloric acid solution, stirred and dispersed evenly, aniline monomer is added, and ammonium persulfate initiator is slowly added dropwise under an ice-water bath. After the addition is complete, the reaction continues for 6-10 hours. The mixture is then filtered, washed, and dried to obtain the polyaniline in-situ coated expanded graphite. The preparation method of the silanized aramid pulp is as follows: Aramid pulp is added to anhydrous ethanol and ultrasonically dispersed for 15- After 30 minutes, γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane is added, and the mixture is heated to 60-70℃ and stirred for 3-5 hours. After filtration, washing, and drying, silanized aramid pulp is obtained. The preparation method of the lignin-based phosphorus-nitrogen intumescent flame retardant is as follows: enzymatically hydrolyzed lignin is dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide, phosphorylation reagent and amination reagent are added sequentially, and the mixture is heated to 80-100℃ and reacted for 4-8 hours. After precipitation, washing, and drying, lignin-based phosphorus-nitrogen intumescent flame retardant is obtained.
[0019] Furthermore, in S2, the stirring speed of the high-speed mixer is 1000-1500 r / min; in S3, the length-to-diameter ratio of the twin-screw extruder is 40-44:1, and the residence time of the material in the extruder is 60-120 s.
[0020] Furthermore, in S4, the three-layer co-extrusion die head adopts a spiral flow channel structure, the convergence angle of each layer of melt in the die head is 15-30°, the residence time of the melt in the die head is 30-60s; the vacuum degree of vacuum sizing is -0.07~-0.09MPa, and the cooling water temperature is 15-25℃.
[0021] Furthermore, during the heat treatment of S5, the maleic anhydride-styrene graft copolymer in each layer undergoes an interfacial grafting reaction with the polypropylene molecular chains and filler surfaces of adjacent layers, forming a stable interlayer interpenetrating transition structure, thus preventing interlayer separation during long-term use of the pipe.
[0022] The beneficial effects of this technical solution are: (1) The conductive wear-resistant inner layer of the present invention uses polyaniline in-situ coated expanded graphite as a conductive filler. By coating the graphite surface with conductive polymer in-situ, the interfacial compatibility between graphite and polypropylene matrix can be effectively improved, avoiding the problems of easy agglomeration and uneven dispersion of traditional carbon black fillers. At the same time, it gives the inner layer stable and long-lasting conductive and antistatic properties, reducing the risk of static electricity accumulation. Combined with the high wear resistance of polyimide micro powder, it can significantly improve the wear resistance of the inner wall of the pipe and extend the service life of the cable during the cable threading process.
[0023] (2) The reinforcing and toughening intermediate layer of the present invention uses silanized aramid pulp as the reinforcing material. The high specific strength and network fiber structure of aramid pulp can form an effective reinforcing skeleton in the polypropylene matrix, significantly improving the ring stiffness and impact resistance of the pipe, while avoiding the disadvantages of traditional glass fiber reinforcement such as fiber exposure, surface roughness, and severe wear of processing equipment; combined with the toughening effect of ethylene-octene copolymer, the simultaneous improvement of reinforcement and toughness is achieved, effectively solving the contradiction of "reinforcement makes it brittle" in traditional modification.
[0024] (3) The weather-resistant and flame-retardant outer layer of the present invention uses a lignin-based phosphorus-nitrogen intumescent flame retardant. The environmentally friendly intumescent flame retardant is prepared using industrial waste lignin as raw material. It achieves high-efficiency flame retardancy through the synergistic effect of phosphorus and nitrogen, while also having the environmental advantages of biomass materials. Combined with the itaconic acid-modified microcrystalline cellulose and ternary synergistic flame retardant system added to all three layers, as well as the interface compatibilization effect of maleic anhydride-styrene graft copolymer, a stable and firm bonding interface is formed between the three layers, avoiding interlayer separation and improving the overall performance and service life of the pipe.

[0047] Functional filler pre-preparation (1) Preparation of itaconic acid modified microcrystalline cellulose: 100 kg of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC-50, particle size 50 μm) was added to 670 kg of deionized water to prepare a suspension. The temperature was raised to 80 °C, nitrogen gas was introduced for protection, 12 kg of itaconic acid and 3 kg of ammonium persulfate initiator were added, and the mixture was stirred for 5 h. After the reaction was completed, the mixture was filtered, washed and dried to obtain itaconic acid modified microcrystalline cellulose with an itaconic acid grafting amount of 11.5%.

[0049] (3) Preparation of polyaniline in situ coated expanded graphite conductive filler: EG-150 (150 mesh) expanded graphite was used, and the rest of the preparation method was the same as in Example 1.
[0050] (4) Preparation of silanized aramid pulp: AP-2 (2mm in length) was used for aramid pulp, and the rest of the preparation method was the same as in Example 1.
[0051] (5) Preparation of lignin-based phosphorus-nitrogen intumescent flame retardant: Same as in Example 1.
[0052] Preparation method S1 Raw material pretreatment: Weigh the raw materials of each layer according to the above weight, put them into a high-speed mixer, heat to 100℃, and mix at a speed of 1500r / min for 15min to obtain three groups of premixed materials; S2 Twin-screw granulation: Three sets of premixed materials are fed into three twin-screw extruders respectively. The temperature of each section is controlled at 175-200℃, the screw speed is 300r / min, and the material residence time is 60s. Three kinds of granules are obtained by extrusion granulation. S3 Three-Layer Co-Extrusion Molding: Three types of granules are added to three single-screw extruders respectively. The extrusion temperature is controlled at 185-210℃, the die head temperature is 220℃, the melt convergence angle of each layer is 30°, and the melt residence time is 30s. The thickness ratio of each layer is controlled at 1:3:1.5, and the overall wall thickness is 18mm. After vacuum sizing (vacuum degree -0.09MPa), cooling with 25℃ cooling water, traction, and cutting, a semi-finished pipe product is obtained. S4 Heat treatment: Place the semi-finished pipe in a 95℃ oven for 2 hours, then remove and allow it to cool naturally to obtain the finished product.
[0053] This embodiment uses a relatively high amount of functional filler, and the dosage of each innovative component is close to the upper limit of this invention. The resulting MPP cable protection pipe achieves the highest performance level, with a ring stiffness of 25.8 kN / m. 2 With an oxygen index of 43.6% and an interlayer peel strength of 3.02 MPa, it is suitable for applications in special environments with extremely high performance requirements, such as key power projects requiring deep burial, high load, and high flame retardancy. This embodiment verifies that the formulation system of the present invention can maintain excellent comprehensive performance even with high filler addition, without exhibiting the drawback of decreased toughness with increased filler content commonly seen in traditional modification techniques. This demonstrates that the innovative filler of the present invention has excellent interfacial compatibility and synergistic effect with the polypropylene matrix.
[0054] Comparative Example 1: Please see Figure 1 The present invention provides a comparative example: This comparative example is a commercially available ordinary single-layer MPP cable protection pipe, using a traditional aluminum hydroxide flame retardant system, with the following formula (unit: kg): Homopolymer polypropylene (T30S) 100kg, aluminum hydroxide (ATH-1, particle size 5μm) 40kg, maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (grade PP-g-MAH) 5kg, composite antioxidant (antioxidant 1010: antioxidant 168 = 1:1) 0.5kg, composite lubricant (polyethylene wax: calcium stearate = 2:1) 0.6kg Preparation method: The traditional single-layer extrusion process is adopted. The finished pipe is obtained by mixing, granulation, extrusion molding, cooling and cutting. The wall thickness is 12mm.
[0055] This comparative example uses a commercially available ordinary single-layer MPP cable protection pipe, employing a traditional aluminum hydroxide flame-retardant system and a simple formula, representing the general level of existing technology. Test results show that its various performance indicators are significantly lower than those of the embodiment of this invention, with a ring stiffness of only 8.5 kN / m. 2 The oxygen index is only 26.5%, the elongation at break is only 160%, and it lacks electrical conductivity and antistatic properties. A comparison with the embodiments of this invention clearly and intuitively demonstrates the significant performance advantages of the technical solution of this invention compared to existing technologies.
[0056] Comparative Example 2: Please see Figure 1 The present invention provides a comparative embodiment: This comparative example is a conventional three-layer co-extruded MPP cable protection pipe, which does not contain the itaconic acid-modified microcrystalline cellulose and ternary synergistic flame retardant system of the present invention. The conductive filler is conventional conductive carbon black, the reinforcing material is conventional glass fiber, and the flame retardant is conventional magnesium hydroxide. The formula is as follows (unit: kg): Inner layer: 80kg homopolymer polypropylene (T30S), 15kg conductive carbon black (CB-300), 6kg maleic anhydride-grafted polypropylene, 0.3kg composite antioxidant, 0.4kg composite lubricant. Intermediate layer: 60kg copolymer polypropylene (EPC30R), 30kg homopolymer polypropylene (T30S), 25kg glass fiber (GF-12, 12mm length), 12kg ethylene-octene copolymer (POE 8150), 8kg maleic anhydride-grafted polypropylene, 0.5kg composite antioxidant, 0.6kg composite lubricant. Outer layer: 70 kg of copolymer polypropylene (EPC30R), 40 kg of magnesium hydroxide (MH-200, particle size 2 μm), 1.0 kg of composite light stabilizer, 0.5 kg of composite antioxidant, and 0.6 kg of composite lubricant. Preparation method: Same as the three-layer co-extrusion process in Example 1, but the heat treatment step S4 is omitted.
[0057] This comparative example is a conventional three-layer co-extruded MPP cable protection pipe. Although it adopts a three-layer structure, it still uses traditional carbon black conductivity, glass fiber reinforcement, and magnesium hydroxide flame retardant technology, and does not employ interface compatibilization and heat treatment processes. Test results show that its interlayer peel strength is only 0.85 MPa, far lower than the 2.65 MPa of the embodiment of this invention, posing a serious risk of interlayer separation; simultaneously, glass fiber reinforcement increases the pipe density to 1.085 g / cm³. 3 Furthermore, issues such as fiber exposure and surface roughness are prone to occur. A comparison with embodiments of the present invention demonstrates that simply employing a three-layer structure without an innovative filler system and interface compatibilization process cannot achieve a substantial performance improvement.
[0058] Comparative Example 3: Please see Figure 1 The present invention provides a comparative scheme: This comparative example is a three-layer co-extruded MPP cable protection pipe, which contains only itaconic acid modified microcrystalline cellulose and does not contain a ternary synergistic flame retardant system, and is otherwise the same as in Example 1.
[0059] This comparative example uses only one innovative filler, itaconic acid-modified microcrystalline cellulose, and does not contain a ternary synergistic flame retardant system. Test results show that while its performance is superior to Comparative Examples 1 and 2, it is significantly lower than Example 1, which contains both innovative fillers; the oxygen index is reduced by 4.7 percentage points, and the ring stiffness is reduced by 4.7 kN / m. 2 The interlayer peel strength decreased by 0.47 MPa. This comparison clearly verifies that the aluminum hypophosphite-melamine cyanurate-montmorillonite ternary synergistic flame retardant system not only possesses highly efficient flame retardant properties but also simultaneously improves the mechanical properties and interfacial bonding strength of the pipe, further demonstrating the synergistic effect of the two innovative fillers.
[0060] Comparative Example 4: Please see Figure 1 The present invention provides a comparative scheme: This comparative example is a three-layer co-extruded MPP cable protection pipe, which does not contain maleic anhydride-styrene graft copolymer, and omits the heat treatment step S4. The remaining formulation and process are the same as in Example 1.
[0061] This comparative example omits the maleic anhydride-styrene graft copolymer interfacial compatibilizer and the subsequent heat treatment process; the remaining formulation and process are exactly the same as in Example 1.
[0062] Test results showed that the interlayer peel strength decreased significantly from 2.65 MPa to 1.12 MPa, a decrease of 137%. This fully demonstrates the decisive role of the combination of the interface compatibilizer system and the heat treatment process in improving interlayer bonding, and is a key technology for solving the industry pain point of easy delamination in multilayer co-extruded pipes. Meanwhile, other mechanical properties also decreased to varying degrees, indicating that the interface compatibilizer not only improves interlayer bonding but also enhances the interfacial compatibility between the filler and the matrix, thus improving the overall performance of the pipe.
[0063] Comparative Example 5: Please see Figure 1 The present invention provides a comparative scheme: the comparative example is a three-layer co-extruded MPP cable protection pipe, in which the ternary synergistic flame retardant system is replaced with a simple physical mixture of aluminum hypophosphite, melamine cyanurate and organically modified montmorillonite (the proportions are the same as in Example 1), and the remaining formulas and processes are the same as in Example 1.
[0064] This comparative example replaces the ternary synergistic flame retardant system with a simple physical mixture of three raw materials, while the rest of the formulation and process are exactly the same as in Example 1. Test results show that its oxygen index decreased from 40.5% to 36.2%, and its mechanical properties also decreased significantly. This proves that the high-speed melt composite process used in this invention is not a simple mixing of raw materials, but rather achieves uniform dispersion and synergistic effect of the three components at the microscale through thermal shearing, thus more fully utilizing the functions of each component.
[0065] This invention, through a systematic comparison and verification between Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-5, concludes that Example 1, as the optimal formulation, achieves differentiated functions in the inner, middle, and outer layers—conductivity and wear resistance, reinforcement and toughness, and weather resistance and flame retardancy—through a rationally designed three-layer functional gradient structure. Combined with an in-situ polyaniline-coated expanded graphite conductive system, a silanized aramid pulp reinforcement system, an itaconic acid-modified microcrystalline cellulose and aluminum hypophosphite-melamine cyanurate-montmorillonite ternary synergistic flame retardant system, and maleic anhydride-styrene graft copolymer interface compatibilization and subsequent heat treatment processes, multiple properties are simultaneously enhanced, achieving a ring stiffness of 21.5 kN / m. 2The oxygen index reached 40.5%, the interlayer peel strength reached 2.65 MPa, and the volume resistivity decreased to 3.2 × 10⁻⁶. 6 Ω·m, all core performance indicators are significantly superior to existing technologies. Compared with the commercially available ordinary single-layer pipe of Comparative Example 1, this invention achieves a leapfrog improvement in almost all performance indicators, fully demonstrating the huge advantages of the three-layer functional gradient structure compared to the traditional single-layer structure; compared with the ordinary three-layer co-extruded pipe of Comparative Example 2, the advantages of this invention in terms of interlayer bonding force, lightweight, and comprehensive performance are more prominent, proving that a substantial performance breakthrough cannot be achieved by simply using a three-layer structure without the combination of innovative filler system and interface technology; compared with the single innovative filler formulation of Comparative Example 3, it is verified that there is a significant synergistic effect between itaconic acid modified microcrystalline cellulose and the ternary synergistic flame retardant system, and the performance improvement when the two fillers are used simultaneously is far greater than the simple superposition of their individual uses; compared with Comparative Example 4, it is intuitively demonstrated that the interface compatibilizer and heat treatment process play a decisive role in solving the industry pain point of easy delamination in multi-layer co-extruded pipes; compared with Comparative Example 5, it is clearly verified that the high-speed melt composite process of this invention is not a simple mixing of raw materials. Examples 2 and 3 respectively verified the applicability of the formulation of the present invention in the range of low and high addition amounts, proving that it has a wide range of adjustability and stability, and can meet the needs of different application scenarios.
[0066] In summary, this invention completely solves the common problems in the industry such as the single function, poor interlayer bonding, and unsatisfactory modification effect of traditional MPP pipes, and has extremely high practical value and market prospects.
[0067] To further illustrate the beneficial technical effects of the various embodiments of the present invention, relevant performance tests were conducted on Embodiments 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-5; The testing method is as follows: 1. Ring stiffness test A 300mm long tubular sample is placed between two parallel plates of a universal testing machine and compressed radially at a loading rate of 5mm / min. The load value is recorded when the tubular material exhibits a 3% radial deformation. The ring stiffness of the tubular material is then calculated, with units of kN / m. 2 Five samples were tested for each mix ratio, and the arithmetic mean was taken as the final test result.
[0068] 2. Drop hammer impact performance test Take a 200mm long pipe sample and place it on the V-shaped support of the drop hammer impact testing machine. Select a drop hammer of appropriate mass according to the pipe specifications and drop it freely from a specified height to impact the pipe. Test 10 samples for each mix ratio, observe and record whether the pipe shows cracks, breakage or other damage, and calculate the percentage of undamaged samples out of the total samples, i.e., the drop hammer impact pass rate, in percentage (%).
[0069] 3. Volume resistivity test A circular sample with a diameter of 100 mm was cut from the pipe. After cleaning the sample surface, it was placed between the two electrodes of the volume resistivity tester. A specified test voltage was applied, and the test value was read after the current stabilized. The volume resistivity of the sample was calculated, and the unit was Ω·m. Three samples were tested for each ratio, and the arithmetic mean was taken as the final test result.
[0070] 4. Oxygen Index Test Cut strip samples measuring 80mm × 10mm × 4mm from the pipe. Fix the samples vertically in the center of the combustion chamber of the oxygen index tester. Introduce a mixture of oxygen and nitrogen in a specified ratio. Adjust the oxygen concentration to maintain balanced combustion of the sample. Record the minimum oxygen concentration required for the sample to sustain combustion for a length of 50mm; this is the oxygen index, expressed as a percentage. Test five samples for each mixture and take the arithmetic mean as the final test result.
[0071] 5. Vicat softening temperature test Cut square samples with a thickness of 3-6 mm from the pipe and place them on the sample holder of the Vicat softening temperature tester. Apply the specified test force and heat at a rate of 50 °C / h. When the indenter penetrates the sample to a depth of 1 mm, record the temperature value at this point, which is the Vicat softening temperature, in °C. Test 3 samples for each formulation and take the arithmetic mean as the final test result.
[0072] 6. Tensile strength test Standard dumbbell-shaped specimens are cut axially from the pipe and placed in the fixture of a universal testing machine. A tensile test is performed at a tensile speed of 50 mm / min until the specimen breaks. The maximum load value during the test is recorded, and the tensile strength is calculated based on the cross-sectional area of the specimen, in MPa. Five specimens are tested for each mix design, and the arithmetic mean is taken as the final test result.
[0073] 7. Elongation at break test During the tensile strength test, the gauge length elongation at fracture was recorded simultaneously. The ratio of this elongation to the original gauge length, multiplied by 100%, is the elongation at break. Five specimens were tested for each mix proportion, and the arithmetic mean was taken as the final test result.
[0074] 8. Interlayer peel strength test Cut strip specimens measuring 150mm × 20mm from the pipe. Pre-peel 20mm between adjacent layers to serve as clamping ends. Place the specimens in the fixture of a universal testing machine and perform a 180° peel test at a speed of 50mm / min. Record the average load value during the peeling process. Calculate the interlayer peel strength (MPa) based on the specimen width. Test 5 specimens for each mix proportion, and take the arithmetic mean as the final test result.
[0075] 9. Strength retention rate test after aging The cut standard dumbbell-shaped specimens were placed in an accelerated aging chamber and subjected to an aging test for 1000 hours under specified temperature and humidity conditions. After aging, the specimens were removed, and the tensile strength after aging was tested according to the tensile strength test method described above. The ratio of the aged tensile strength to the original tensile strength of the unaged specimen, multiplied by 100%, is the strength retention rate after aging, expressed as a percentage. Five specimens were tested for each mix, and the arithmetic mean was taken as the final test result.
[0076] 10. Density Test The density of pipe materials was tested using the density gradient column method. The pipe sample was prepared into uniformly sized particles and placed in a density gradient column. After the sample stabilized and suspended, its density was calculated based on its position within the gradient column, with units of g / cm³. 3 Three samples were tested for each formulation, and the arithmetic mean was taken as the final test result.
