Ring Stiffness Test Method for Double Wall Corrugated Pipes

Ring‑stiffness can be measured using the test pipe method. First, mount the test pipe onto the fixture, apply loads, record the strain and circumferential strain of the test pipe, and calculate the ring‑stiffness.

The specific procedures are as follows:

1. Securely mount the test pipe on the fixture.
2. Determine the length and diameter of the test pipe according to practical requirements.
3. Install the test pipe on a horizontal or inclined support bracket to ensure balanced force application on the test pipe.
4. Apply loads and record the strain and circumferential strain of the test pipe.
5. Calculate the ring‑stiffness with the formula:S = ½λR², where S stands for ring‑stiffness, λ denotes the deformation rate of the test pipe, and R represents the diameter of the test pipe.
6. Conduct performance analysis and optimization for double‑wall corrugated pipes based on the measured results.

For real‑world municipal and stormwater drainage projects, our double‑wall corrugated pipes pass strict ring‑stiffness testing to resist backfill pressure and long‑term underground deformation.
