Glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) curved composite is widely used in industries due to its high corrosive resistance nature. GFRP composites are involved many like petrochemical for handling oil and gas at offshore platforms, chemical processes such as storage tanks, desalination, water treatment. Since alloy steel materials get corroded by environmental factors excess salinity the surround...

For the high strength, corrosion resistance, and good stability, carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites have been made into pipes to transfer gasses oils in subsea environment. Structural performance of CFRP composite is particularly important sustain regular operation delivery system. To obtain in-field behavior pipes, quasi-distributed optical fiber sensing techniques are developed...

High-density polyethylene pipes (HDPE), crossbonded polyethylene pipes (PEX) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes for drinking water were tested with respect to migration of volatile organic components (VOC) to water. The odour of water in contact with plastic pipes was assessed according to the quantitative threshold odour number (TON) concept. A major migrating component from HDPE pipes was 2,4...

Basalt fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP) composite pipe is an excellent alternative to glass and carbon pipes in industry promising high recycling for used aerospace, marine, automotive. To enhance the solid particle erosion (SPE) properties of filament-wound BFRP while preserving its mechanical properties, were prepared employ non-functionalized graphene nanoplatelets (GnPs) at a reinforcement c...

Free-reed organ pipes were introduced at the end of the 18 century and soon became popular across Europe, especially in Germany and Switzerland. As opposed to striking-reed pipes (boundor beating-reed pipes) the reed in free-reed pipes does not beat against the shallot, an orifice in the reed, when it is played. Instead it swings freely through a perforated rectangular plate of brass, like in r...
