PB-1 generally resists chemicals such as detergents, oils, fats, acids, bases, alcohol, ketones, aliphatic hydrocarbons and hot polar solutions (including water). [3] It shows lower resistance to aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbons as well as oxidising acids than other polymers such as polysulfone and polyamide 6/6. [7] Additional features include excellent wet abrasion resistance, easy melt flowability (shear thinning), and good dispersion of fillers. It is compatible with polypropylene, ethylene propylene rubbers, and thermoplastic elastomers. Definition [ edit ] Illustration of conditional probabilities with an Euler diagram.

PB-1 is a high molecular weight, linear, isotactic, and semi-crystalline polymer. PB-1 combines typical characteristics of conventional polyolefins with certain properties of technical polymers.

PB-1 Material

Given two events A and B from the sigma-field of a probability space, with the unconditional probability of B being greater than zero (i.e., P( B) > 0), the conditional probability of A given B ( P ( A ∣ B ) {\displaystyle P(A\mid B)} ) is the probability of A occurring if B has or is assumed to have happened. [5] A is assumed to be the set of all possible outcomes of an experiment or random trial that has a restricted or reduced sample space. The conditional probability can be found by the quotient of the probability of the joint intersection of events A and B ( P ( A ∩ B ) {\displaystyle P(A\cap B)} )—the probability at which A and B occur together, although not necessarily occurring at the same time—and the probability of B: [2] [6] [7] P ( A ∣ B ) = P ( A ∩ B ) P ( B ) {\displaystyle P(A\mid B)={\frac {P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}}} .

Isotactic polybutylene crystallizes in three different forms. Crystallization from solution yields form-III with the melting point of 106.5°C. Cooling from the melt results in the form II which has melting point of 124°C and density of 0.89 g/cm 3. At room temperature, it spontaneously converts into the form-I with the melting point of 135°C and density of 0.95 g/cm 3. [1] Some authors, such as de Finetti, prefer to introduce conditional probability as an axiom of probability: Because the chemical reaction of the water with the pipe occurs inside the pipe, it is often difficult to assess the extent of deterioration. The problem can cause both slow leaks and pipe bursting without any previous warning indication. The only long-term solution is to completely replace the polybutylene plumbing throughout the entire building. [23] See also [ edit ]

In Australia in March 2023, the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety reported that Australian homes built in 2019-2020 that had used a certain brand of polybutylene piping, had become the subject of an enquiry due to the significance of water leaks reported. [20] [21] One example is the installation of PB-1 pipes in the Vienna Geothermal Project (1974) where aggressive geothermal water is distributed at a service temperature of 54°C and 10 bar pressure. Other pipe materials in the same installation failed or corroded and had been replaced in the meantime. [8] Doyle (2021). Extrusion foaming behavior of polybutene-1.

PB-1 Characteristics

P ( A ∪ B ) = P ( A ) + P ( B ) − P ( A ∩ B ) {\displaystyle P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)} Thus the equations can be combined to find a new representation of the: P ( A ∩ B ) = P ( A ) + P ( B ) − P ( A ∪ B ) = P ( A ∣ B ) P ( B ) {\displaystyle P(A\cap B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cup B)=P(A\mid B)P(B)} P ( A ∪ B ) = P ( A ) + P ( B ) − P ( A ∣ B ) P ( B ) {\displaystyle P(A\cup B)={P(A)+P(B)-P(A\mid B){P(B)}}} As the probability of a conditional event [ edit ] Isotactic PB-1 is produced commercially using two types of heterogeneous Ziegler–Natta catalysts. [3] The first type of catalyst contains two components, a solid pre-catalyst, the δ-crystalline form of TiCl 3, and solution of an organoaluminum cocatalyst, such as Al(C 2H 5) 3. The second type of pre-catalyst is supported. The active ingredient in the catalyst is TiCl 4 and the support is microcrystalline MgCl 2. These catalysts also contain special modifiers, organic compounds belonging to the classes of esters or ethers. The pre-catalysts are activated by combinations of organoaluminum compounds and other types of organic or organometallic modifiers. Two most important technological advantages of the supported catalysts are high productivity and a high fraction of the crystalline isotactic polymer they produce at 70–80°C under standard polymerization conditions.

This equation for a conditional probability, although mathematically equivalent, may be intuitively easier to understand. It can be interpreted as "the probability of B occurring multiplied by the probability of A occurring, provided that B has occurred, is equal to the probability of the A and B occurrences together, although not necessarily occurring at the same time". Additionally, this may be preferred philosophically; under major probability interpretations, such as the subjective theory, conditional probability is considered a primitive entity. Moreover, this "multiplication rule" can be practically useful in computing the probability of A ∩ B {\displaystyle A\cap B} and introduces a symmetry with the summation axiom for Poincaré Formula:

Installation

In probability theory, conditional probability is a measure of the probability of an event occurring, given that another event (by assumption, presumption, assertion or evidence) is already known to have occurred. [1] This particular method relies on event B occurring with some sort of relationship with another event A. In this event, the event B can be analyzed by a conditional probability with respect to A. If the event of interest is A and the event B is known or assumed to have occurred, "the conditional probability of A given B", or "the probability of A under the condition B", is usually written as P( A| B) [2] or occasionally P B( A). This can also be understood as the fraction of probability B that intersects with A, or the ratio of the probabilities of both events happening to the "given" one happening (how many times A occurs rather than not assuming B has occurred): P ( A ∣ B ) = P ( A ∩ B ) P ( B ) {\displaystyle P(A\mid B)={\frac {P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}}} . [3] The case of greatest interest is that of a random variable Y, conditioned on a continuous random variable X resulting in a particular outcome x. The event B = { X = x } {\displaystyle B=\{X=x\}} has probability zero and, as such, cannot be conditioned on.
