Experimental program on the burst capacity of reinforced thermoplastic pipe (RTP) under impact of quasi-static lateral load

Reinforced Thermoplastic Pipe (RTP) is a flexible composite pipe that currently receives fair acceptance in the oil and gas industry, with high potentials to be used as a replacement to the carbon steel (CS) pipes especially in high corrosive environment. As RTP is relatively new products, their designs and qualifications are governed by the industry practice at present in the absence of comprehensive technical design standards. Most literatures...
