With the increasing demand for the distribution of Hydrogen and Carbon Dioxide for Underground Storage, the challenges associated with end connections in composite pipelines are becoming a critical concern for manufacturers. Smartflow has extensive design & manufacturing expertise in this niche industry, supported by physical pipe testing capabilities. However, clients often require more scientific analysis as different materials are used to form metal connections into polymer pipes, and the characteristics of these 'raw' metals can change, including their mechanical and corrosion-resistant properties.A combined scientific FEA analysis and physical material testing project would both support Smartflow's new technical designs and also unlock large opportunities as Hydrogen and CCUS pipeline demand grows in the composite pipeline industry. Smartflow's end connections incorporate a sharp serrated steel fitting that is inserted into the composite pipe and then 'swaged' out to 'bite' into the polymer liner to produce a permanent connection. While Smartflow has successfully implemented this system multiple times, having an independent and shareable technical analysis when proactively implementing solutions with pipeline manufactures. Additionally, the FEA modelling of new Hydrogen ready connection designs the will accelerate the overall development programme.Undertaking independent analysis work with Astute, allows Smartflow to share the critical, independent, data that our clients require. As each pipe manufacturer has a slightly different pipe composition, modelling our serrated fittings 'swaged' into a composite pipe and then testing computationally would give confidence in our design capabilities. Although we would always need to design a system bespoke to our clients, we could use this FEA modelling approach as a first step before verifying the results with physical burst testing of the pipe connection system.

随着对地下存储氢和二氧化碳分布的需求不断增长，与复合管道中最终连接相关的挑战正在成为制造商的关键问题。 SmartFlow在该利基行业具有广泛的设计和制造专业知识，并得到了物理管测试功能的支持。但是，客户通常需要进行更多的科学分析，因为不同的材料用于形成金属连接到聚合物管道中，这些“原始”金属的特性可能会改变，包括它们的机械和耐腐蚀性。科学的FEA分析和物理材料测试项目将既支持SmartFlow的新技术设计，又支持氢和CCUS Pipeline Pipeleline Pipeleline Pipeline Pipeartine provine pockine provine pockine of Pipeine in Compance in Compance in Compance in Compance in Compance of Pipeartine既支持智能流程。 SmartFlow的末端连接融合了尖锐的锯齿状钢配件，该钢制配件被插入复合管中，然后“咬”以“咬”到聚合物衬里中以产生永久连接。尽管SmartFlow已多次成功地实施了该系统，但在主动使用管道制造商实施解决方案时进行了独立且可共享的技术分析。此外，新氢的FEA建模设计将加速整体开发程序。以敏捷为单独的分析工作，允许SmartFlow共享客户所需的关键，独立的数据。由于每个管道制造商的管道组合物都略有不同，因此将我们的锯齿状配件对复合管道进行了建模，然后在计算上进行测试将使我们的设计功能充满信心。尽管我们始终需要为客户设计系统定制，但我们可以将这种FEA建模方法作为第一步，然后通过对管道连接系统进行物理突发测试验证结果。
