Stress- Strain Performance of Composite Tubes Subjected to Internal Pressure

Abstract

Fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) piping system has been successfully used for over fifty years in applications requiring the corrosion resistance of plastic and the strength of metallic systems. FPR piping is readily available in a wide range of types, sizes, and wall thickness to meet numerous design requirements. The knowledgeable piping designer can design a successful project by using established standards and criteria.  All the tests have been done using the “hydraulic testing machine” the results have been obtained from the meter which is connected to the machine, along with the use of internal pressure load to test and observe the behaviors of the fabricated tubes, having in mind that all the tests have been done under the room temperature.
