Abstract:

A barrier layer was added according to the structure of the composite pipe, and a three⁃dimensional model was established for high barrier non⁃metallic flexible composite pipes based on the finite element simulation. The influence of geometry and process parameters of the barrier layer on the pressure⁃bearing performance of the composite pipes was analyzed, and the optimal parameters of the barrier layer were determined. The results indicated that the stress of the aramid reinforced layer reached a maximum, followed by the aluminum foil barrier layer when the high barrier non⁃metallic flexible composite pipes were under pressure. The stresses of the inner lining layer and outer protective layer were the lowest. The thickness of the aluminum foil barrier layer generated the greatest influence on the pressure bearing performance of the composite pipes, followed by the influence of friction coefficient. The influence of width and winding angle of the aluminum foil layer was the lowest. Considering the pipeline stress and design cost, the optimum thickness, width, and winding angle of the aluminum foil barrier layer were determined to be 0.15 mm, 200 mm, and 70°, respectively.
