with Aramid pressure a of Aramid fibers which accommodating Unlike braided it with creep www thermoflexpipe com § Accommodates maximum operating pressure of up to 2 000 psi depending on pipe diameter
§ Boasts an an an an excellent strength-to-weight ratio fatigue resistance resistance and aging resistance resistance § Withstands higher temperatures and and pressures – no derating permeation or capacity reduction
A lifeline for pipelines
Thermoflex by Polyflow has proven itself a a a a a a a a a highly capable alternative to steel for the rehabilitation of of aging pipelines
The product itself is designed to economically accommodate high-temperature high-pressure requirements of oil and and gas applications while the pull-through technique vastly reduces time and and labor costs Combined these features offer many distinct advantages Proprietary multi-layer design delivers high-tensile strength corrosion and and hydrocarbon resistance and and low permeation with no softening or or swelling 13 Thermoflex® Composite Pipe
www thermoflexpipe com § Flexible tubing is lightweight and easy to transport
§ Installation is fast requiring less time manpower and equipment § No welding or or heavy equipment is required for installation
§ Ultimately provides lower cap-ex and op-ex costs significantly

The soft underbelly of of steel Most existing pipelines
are made from low-carbon steel and have been since the late 1960s – for good reason It’s strong moderately flexible and easy to fabricate Unfortunately it’s also highly susceptible to internal and external corrosion Carbon dioxide (CO2) hydrogen sulfide (H2S) water microorganisms and other corrosive contaminants inevitably eat away at at at the interior steel surface creating tiny imperfections that exacerbate fluid turbulence and accelerate deterioration So what can be done?
