Shawcor Ltd. seeks to expand their current product line of reinforced thermoplastic pipes (RTPs) to strengthen their position in today's competitive global market. Quick and cost-effective installation, corrosion resistance and the ability to withstand high pressure in long-term operation are few outstanding characteristics of RTPs, which are increasingly being used as an alternative to steel pipe in oil and gas operations. Shawcor is committed to expanding the capacity of their RTP products to higher service ratings, namely temperature and pressure. Over the past two years, within the scope of joint Alberta-Ontario Innovation Program and NSERC CRD grants, a team composed of researchers from the University of Alberta and University of Toronto and experts at Shawcor has made substantial progress in exploring novel cost-effective RTP solutions. As part of this research, modeling and testing techniques for the assessment of long-term performance were developed. The collaborative research efforts have identified cost-effective composite pipe designs. The addition of corrosion-resistant metallic interlayers into the composite structure has been explored to provide a barrier against diffusion of volatiles through the pipe wall. Through the project that is proposed herein, optimized structural designs for multi-layer and multi-material RTPs shall be enabled, which includes the characterization of mechanical properties, identification of failure mechanisms and correlating properties in coupon specimens to the full-scale operation. Second, the project aims at developing novel solutions to effectively bond organic and inorganic material layers in RTPs. The study will include experimental characterization of short- and long-term properties. These research objectives will advance the knowledge that is critical to successfully develop novel multi-layer and multi-material RTP solutions. The university researchers in collaboration with the industrial partner form an expert team for engineering analysis and design. The project will train various Highly Qualified Personnel to acquire skills related to scientific research while being of high relevance to industry. Ultimately, the research will advance Shawcor's technology leadership in the industry.

Shawcor Ltd. 寻求扩大其当前的增强热塑性管道 (RTP) 产品线，以巩固其在当今竞争激烈的全球市场中的地位。安装快速且经济高效、耐腐蚀以及能够在长期运行中承受高压是 RTP 的几个突出特点，RTP 越来越多地在石油和天然气作业中用作钢管的替代品。 Shawcor 致力于将其 RTP 产品的容量扩展到更高的服务等级，即温度和压力。过去两年，在阿尔伯塔省和安大略省联合创新计划和 NSERC CRD 资助范围内，由阿尔伯塔大学和多伦多大学的研究人员以及 Shawcor 的专家组成的团队在探索新型经济高效的 RTP 方面取得了实质性进展解决方案。作为这项研究的一部分，开发了用于评估长期性能的建模和测试技术。合作研究工作已经确定了具有成本效益的复合管道设计。人们已经探索在复合结构中添加耐腐蚀金属夹层，以提供防止挥发物通过管壁扩散的屏障。通过本文提出的项目，应能够实现多层和多材料 RTP 的优化结构设计，其中包括机械性能的表征、故障机制的识别以及将试样样本的性能与全尺寸操作相关联。其次，该项目旨在开发新颖的解决方案，以有效粘合 RTP 中的有机和无机材料层。该研究将包括短期和长期特性的实验表征。这些研究目标将推进对成功开发新型多层和多材料 RTP 解决方案至关重要的知识。大学研究人员与工业合作伙伴合作组成了工程分析和设计的专家团队。该项目将培养各类高素质人才，使其获得与科学研究相关的技能，同时与产业高度相关。最终，该研究将提升 Shawcor 在行业中的技术领先地位。
