Max. Pulling Force (MPF) lbs. = TS x 1.15 x OP2
Where TS + Short Term Tensile Strength (use 3500 psi for HDPE)

Note: The above calculation included a safety factor of 2.75 to allow for pull times of reasonable duration.

For level soil the maximum pull length may be determined as follows:

MPL = MPF
0.7 x W
Where MPF = Maximum Straight pull length on flat surface - ft.
MPF = Maximum pulling force as determined above - lbs.
W = Pipe weight (lbs./ft.)
0.7 = COEFF of friction for HDPE on smooth sandy soil
NOTES:
1.) Connections to lateral and plain end pipe to plain end pipe are readily available
2.) The effect of water, if present, must be taken into consideration as it relates to
design concerns relative to the SDR or grouting of the annular space.
