As this existing steel pipeline infrastructure ages, the need for repair or replacement to prevent failures from corrosion increases; 80% of inspection costs are spent on monitoring corrosion of steel pipes.* To improve longevity in these critical components, the industry is shifting to alternatives such as spoolable reinforced thermoplastic pipe (RTP). Video Polystrand Unidirectional Composite Tape Continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite tape is slit to custom widths from 2" to 24".

A new eBook from Avient titled, “Smarter Materials™: High-Performance Thermoplastics” can help answer these questions and be a valuable resource for anyone considering the use of these advanced materials, which are ideally suited for very demanding environments.  If you’re blazing ahead with additive manufacturing, here are some suggested guidelines excerpted from the eBook:

However, transitioning from metal to plastic requires thorough technical analysis and preparation. Predictive simulation technology uses conventional (isotropic) and advanced (anisotropic) modeling data from material characterizations, mold filling analysis, and finite element analysis (FEA) to more accurately forecast performance and potential failure points.
