Thermoplastic Composite Pipe machinery (TCP) is the next generation in high-pressure pipelines with fully bonded technology. TCP composite pipe machinery line is next generation of RTP machinery line with a bonded reinforcement layer.
The Banline TCP-ULTRA™ bonded fiberglass thermoplastic composite pipe machinery system is able to manufacture higher pressure with greater temperature resistance,corrosion-resistance fiberglass TCP pipe, which suitable for a wide range of applications (oil & gas, water), making it the 21st-century composite pipe machinery solution.
Be simplified to distinguish fiberglass RTP, FCP, and TCP pipe is to clarify whether the reinforced layer overwrapped with bonded or unbonded glass fiber composites. RTP, FCP usually overwrapped with unbonded-glass fiber composites, but fiberglass TCP overwrapped with bonded glass fiber composites.
TCP pipes consist of reinforced thermoplastic composites, quite similar as RTP pipes, they are suited to higher pressures and a greater temperature range for two reasons:
First, some TCP uses higher-performing thermoplastic resins, such as PEEK, and/or higher strength reinforcement like carbon fiber.
Second, TCP layers are bonded to each other through melt-fusion, which yields higher performance properties than RTP made from the same materials.
