Schedule 80 Gray and Oil and Gasfield Solutions

Long Length Reinforced Thermoplastic Pipes (LLRTP)
In general, the international oil and gas production industry uses steel pipelines for flowlines, water injection- and oil well hook-up lines.

The Industrial pipe we produce is schedule 80 gray. The primary application for this pipe is to transport liquids used as a part of a manufacturing process. Our schedule 80 gray comes in 1/2" through 8" diameters.

RTP- pipe is a very special product application for the oil and gas exploration industry. The operating pressure is 1450 psi at a temperature of 155 degrees Fahrenheit.

In other Pipelife Companies these pipes are sold under the brand name SOLUFORCE®.

As these pipelines with relatively small diameters are mainly installed above ground, they are exposed to corrosive environment, both internally and externally.

Comparison of life cycle costs of available material options shows that SOLUFORCE® is more cost effective than all types of steel if operating and installation costs are taken into account.

On this background it is clear that SOLUFORCE ® is of considerable interest to this market.
The system consists of the tube with diameter 4" and 5" and reinforced thermoplastic couplers and end-fittings. In addition, the end-fittings have removable 316 L steel parts that fit to 6" ANSI # 600 flanges.

The main applications of SOLUFORCE® are in the oil and gas exploitation industry, like:

    		• Oil well flow lines, up to 74 bars (1100 Psi) and 65 °C (150 °F)
    		• Water injection lines up to 95 bars (1200 Psi) and 65 °C (150 °F)
    		• Small diameter gas transportation and distribution up to 125 mm (internal)
    		• Oilfield and industrial effluent water transportation
    		• High-pressure potable water and irrigation piping


    SOLUFORCE® is supplied on road transportable coils, for 4" about 400 meters in length and of a maximum diameter of 4 meters, packed on disposable reels. The coils shall be placed on the un-coiling trailer, that can be towed with a standard 4 wheel drive car. The trailer has its own power source, which enables the usage as an in-field pipe reeling machine.


    SOLUFORCE® - robust but still flexible
    By standard condition, it is nearly impossible to break SOLUFORCE®. Above ground SOLUFORCE® remains in top condition for at least twenty years. When burried, that time span is even fifty years. SOLUFORCE® is easy to handle both in moderately cold and extremely hot climates.

    The pipe has been exposed to the sweltering hot sun and to the most strenuous UV-test that is known in the world: the "Kalahari-Test". An elephant stamped on the pipe and heavy vehicles drove across the pipe - SOLUFORCE® remained intact.

    Despite this robustness, SOLUFORCE® is that flexible that it can be easily installed around corners, without the need for pre-fabricated bends. This saves a lot on planning and engineering, in-field improvisation and, as a result, a large amount of costs.


    Connection methods and fittings
    To interconnect elements, as well as to connect to any kind of steel pipe, a complete range of electro-fusion in-line couplers and end fittings have been developed.

    The fittings are based on the electroweld principle. Before electro welding the sleeve, both pipe ends are first butt welded to provide a 100% leak free connection. The reinforced plastic sleeve provides the mechanical load path from one pipe end into the other.

    The application of the couplers is done with CNC automated equipment. It takes just about 30 minutes to complete a connection.

    When T-pieces, elbows, reducers etc. are needed, SOLUFORCE® is completed with a electro-fusion flanged end-fitting. Any piece of any materials specification can be bolted to this end-fitting.

    The fittings are stronger than the tube and have integrally been tested with the tube. In addition welding equipment is available and courses are being given to learn about the welding and the installation.
