Polyamide 12 Pressure Piping Days on April 25 and 26, 2023 at the SKZ in Würzburg
Renowned experts will present extensive development results at the specialist conference on PA12 pressure piping on April 25 and 26 in Würzburg. The conference is primarily aimed at network operators and pipeline builders.

Extensive development results for practical applications and aspects of the energy transition
Unplasticized polyamide 12 according to ISO 16486 is a compound for pressure piping approved for operating pressures up to 18 bar. For gas distribution in Europe, there is a limit of 16 bar, and for this pressure range, polyamide 12 represents a corrosion-free and easy-to-laid alternative to steel that is also attracting more and more attention.
"We have looked at the developments in polyamide pressure piping from the point of view of SKZ as a testing and monitoring laboratory," explains conference chairman and deputy SKZ managing director, Dr. Jürgen Wüst. "In the meantime, we have extensive development results that are of interest to a large audience. For this reason, together with our development partners, we have decided to organize a symposium at SKZ in Würzburg, Germany on April 25 and 26, 2023. I am very pleased that we have been able to attract numerous renowned experts as speakers from the circle of end users, institutes and processors, which speaks for the topicality, ambition and practical relevance of the conference content."
The topic blocks provide information on successful practical experience with pilot and commercial projects in several regions of the world as well as qualification in the field of gas distribution. In addition, aspects relating to quality and training in welding technology as well as suitability for trenchless installation and practical experience in pipeline construction will be highlighted. The program will be rounded off with the presentation of characteristic values for freely laid pipelines in the field of industrial applications and with information on the highly advanced status of standardization activities.
The two-day event is aimed primarily at representatives from the circle of network operators and pipeline constructors with the aim of bringing polyamide 12 closer as an application material and establishing it as an alternative to steel on account of its advantages.
