TCP TECHNOLOGY
Our Technology creates value. Future Pipe Industries offers leading composite piping technologies developed over 35 years of experience. Our dedicated Technology team work with our customers and listen to their feedback. Innovation, testing and research sees our Technology constantly evolving based on customer and sector needs. The number of applications our products can be used in continues to grow as our technologies advance, opening existing and new markets.
We work closely with numerous standards organisations such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), European Standards (EN), British Standard Institute (BSI), Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN), American Society for Testing and Material (ASTM), American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), American Water Works Association (AWWA) and American Petroleum Institute (API) to validate our composite pipes against the standards used in the industries in which we operate, assuring you of their acceptance and quality. We own three core types of technology; continuous filament winding, Helical (reciprocal) filament winding and our latest technology, Thermoplastic Composite Pipe (TCP).
Our continuous filament winding technology is the most proven in the composite pipe industry.
Helical (reciprocal) filament winding provides an exceptionally reliable pipe, particularly suited for the Oil & Gas industry.
Our Thermoplastic Composite Pipe (TCP) technology is the latest technology in the market and produces fully bonded pipe manufactured in continuous lengths up to 1000m/3280ft (depending on pipe diameter).
It combines a thermoplastic High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) liner, reinforced by a helically wrapped tape containing continuous fiber (uni-directional) in a HDPE matrix, and protected by a thermoplastic outer coating (or “jacket”). All three layers are melt-fused together ensuring a faultless bond. This results in a very robust, flexible light and corrosion resistant pipe. This spoolable product is fully bonded and resists permeation and liner collapse making it an effective solution for highly corrosive Oil & Gas applications. The pipe is flexible and is spooled onto reels for easy shipment and installation.
This Technology is also referred to as Thermoplastic Composite Pipe (TCP).
