Pressure Capacity Study of φ100 Reinforced Thermoplastic Pipe

摘要

The pressure capacity of reinforced thermoplastic pipe was studied by the finite element analysis and experimental study using Φ100 reinforced thermoplastic pipes. The simulation results illustrated that the failure mode of reinforced thermoplastic pipe under internal pressure was the break of glass fiber belt in structural layer. Moreover, the simulated burst pressure fitted well with the experimental result, the small deviation between two results may be resulted from the process defects of RTP.
