This note presents a theoretical analysis and numerical simulation of hydraulic transients in pressurized pipeline system made of a local polyethylene pipe-wall located at a steel pipeline system. The continuity and momentum equations are solved by the method of characteristic (MOC) taking into account the viscoelastic effect of the pipe-wall for polyethylene pipe. The polyethylene pipe length and location at the pipeline and the discharge flow rate are changed and their influence on transient flow is investigated. By comparing this pipeline system with one that is made of polyethylene pipe totally, the possibility of using local polyethylene pipe due to its effect on the pressure wave is investigated.
