    This document discusses the design method for fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) pipes used in high pressure oil and gas applications. It presents a method for manufacturing centrifugally wound FRP pipes up to 9.6 meters in length that can withstand pressures up to 50 MPa (500 atmospheres) or even 1000 atmospheres. The key points for withstanding internal pressure are the anti-corrosion inner layer, reinforced layer, stresses at screw threads in joints, elongation of joints, and prevention of fluid invasion at cut pipe ends. The design method focuses analysis on these five critical points to reduce peak stresses, particularly at the ends of joints, and achieve a more uniform stress distribution.

    Since oil wells have become deep, it became important that the oil pipe can endure the high pressure of,
    e.g., 50 MPa. Then, it is important to know how to design FRP oil pipe for such high pressure. In this
    presentation, we propose the design rule of FRP pipe for such high pressure environment.
    KEYWORDS: FRP pipe, High pressure, Pipe joint, Centrifugal forming

    Centrifugal Winding FRP Pipe


    It is well known that centrifugal winding (CW) pipe has features of light weight and high pressure
    resistancy. Recently we have succeeded to manufacture the API pipe with length of 9.6m, and outer
    diameter 6cm. The nominal pressure resistancy is e.g., 500 atom (50 Mpa), and practically it must endure
    1000 atm. In this paper, we present design method for such high pressure FRP pipe including joint.

    Critical Points for Pressure


    Fig.1 shows five critical points for internal pressure of the API pipes having joint. They are: (1)Inner
    anti-corrosion layer; since it has large elongation capability as 15%, major cause of the destruction of this
    layer is from notch caused by shearing stress between this layer and the reinforced layer irrespective of
    thickness of the anti-corrosion layer, (2) Reinforced layer; the basis is its rigidity, and CW pipe has higher
    pressure resistancy than conventional FW (Filament Winding) pipe. (3) Shearing stress at each thread of
    the screw; screw structure can disperse the shearing stress and therefore reduce the peak stress often
    happens at the end of the bonded joint, (4) Elongation of the joint; it is important to adapt and to reduce the
    peak stress between the pipe, (5) Invasion of inner liquid from cut end of the pipe (delamination); water
    protection lining is required at also here. Fig.2 shows leaked water jet through (5) at the pressure test of
    the pipe.
    The pipe has a structure of symmetric around the rotational axis, and critical points to the destruction
    are known. Though finite element analysis method is powerful for the general purpose, it is not adequate
    in such case, and conventional analysis method focused to such critical points may be adequate.
    Previous analysis methods consider the shear stress uniform with average value regarding the material
    being homogeneous and multiply safety coefficients instead of analyzing precisely. The key point is to
    reduce the peak stress often happens at the end of joint. It is required to design with balance between
    these five points so as to have uniform stress as far as possible considering temperature and pressure.

    Conclusion
    We have shown the design method for FRP high pressure pipe, which calculates stress mainly at critical
    five points. This also makes the test method easy.
