Underground pipe installation is one of the crucial components in supporting industrial activities. Damage to the underground pipe is typical and usually done by patching repair. Analysis of the stress distribution on pipe with patch has been done previously. An analysis needs to be done to determine the effectiveness of the patches and the effect of the growth of the damage. The purpose of this paper is to know the effect of the application of fins on the saddle fusion patch with variations in the number of fins, fin angle orientation, and fin height on the stress distribution on the PE 80 pipe. The research was carried out on a polyethylene pipe with elliptical defects that have been repaired with a saddle fusion patch with a fin as a stiffener. The pipe is a medium-density polyethylene pipe (MDPE80), and the patched is high-density polyethylene (HDPE100). The variation in the research is the fin’s height, the fin’s number and orientation of the fin, and the variation of defect dimension as representative of crack growth. The study was carried out using a finite element analysis tool, ANSYS 2020. The simulation results showed that the addition of fins and the difference in given height on the saddle fusion patch could reduce the stress acting on the cracked pipe. The stress drop that occurs in the addition of the number of fins is not only influenced by the number of fins but also influenced by the orientation of the added fins. The results of this study will provide an overview of the optimal patch thickness after being given reinforcement by fins added to the patch. The hole variations carried out aim to simulate so that the damage that occurs does not repeat itself after being given a patch. Information regarding the optimal and efficient patch thickness becomes an input that is used as a consideration in determining effective and economical repair steps.
