FAST Pipe is a new pipeline technology that was developed by ConocoPhillips Company (ConocoPhillips). It has been proposed as an alternative to high strength steel (grade X80 or higher) for high pressure gas transmission pipelines. FAST Pipe is…
The project focuses on developing glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite pipes including a range of joining systems. A few of the many advantages of GFRP composite pipes are their non-corrosiveness, magnetic transparency, and high…
Stress Engineering Services, Inc. (SES) was contracted by Pipeline Research Council International, Inc. (PRCI) to perform a study examining the long-term performance of composite repairs used for pipeline applications. The project reported here (PRCI…
Composite materials have been used to repair high pressure transmission pipelines. Over this time period a wide variety of composite systems have been developed and evaluated. With the increased demands being placed on pipeline systems around the…
