Abstract Charpy impact tests have been carried out on specimens removed from the joint region in butt fusion-welded polyethylene pipe. In order to ensure that crack initiation occurs precisely at the weld line, a novel method of notching has been used. G c data have been derived from these tests, which were conducted at temperatures of – 150 and 23 °C. Results obtained from pendulum impact and instrumented falling weight tests show consistent differences, probably attributable to the speed of impact. Data have also been obtained for the parent unwelded material.
