In today's oil and gas industry, everyone is looking for ways to reduce costs. The selection of materials for oil and gas pipelines to transport the hydrocarbon will affect the operation cost, lead time, compliance, installation convenience, maintenance cost, total cost of ownership, etc. Therefore, in the past decade, a kind of innovative flexible composite pipe systems has been developed and applied to replace the traditional steel pipeline. RTP (Reinforced Thermoplastic Pipe) is a multi-layers composite pipe, which has a thermoplastic liner, a reinforcing layer and a thermoplastic jacket. The potential offered by this type of product for a wide range of applications in the oil and gas industries has been recognized in recent years, such like offshore, onshore and hydrogen gas transportation.

Steel could accommodate the pressure and temperature requirements, but was expensive, inflexible, and had a higher friction coefficient at smaller diameters that would impede flow performance. When compared with steel pipe and other types of rigid pipe, RTP composite pipe shows the unique advantages as following:  Composition structure pipe offers RTP the same strength as steel pipe.  The use of different polymers and reinforced materials can provide RTP enhanced properties to meet the challenges of potential applications.  The choice of non-metallic reinforcement can give RTP perfect corrosion...

GOLDSTONE provides our clients with different technology solution for RTP and TCP, and gives them more flexible products to meet the critical requirements in various application scenarios. Different reinforcement gives RTP different properties, including aramid fiber, glass fiber, carbon fiber and steel cord, steel wire are consideration. Fiberglass tape has the characters of high strength, anti-corrosion and flexible, and the most important thing is that it is an economic material than aramid fiber and carbon fiber. The tape is treated by impregnation process of thermoplastic, so glass layers...
