Composite-Material Pipes for Corrosive and Cryogenic Liquids

A flexible design concept and an associated method of fabrication have been conceived as means to satisfy growing demands for lightweight composite-material pipes for corrosive and cryogenic liquids. The design concept and method can be applied to produce piping systems capable of handling such diverse liquids as cryogenic oxygen, hydrogen peroxide, strong acids, and strong bases. The piping systems can be complex; for example, they can include manifolds and/or pipes with multiple bends.
