A high pressure pipe of high density polyethylene material includes an internal lining (3), an intermediate reinforcement layer (2) and an outer cover layer (1). The high density polyethylene material of the internal lining (3) is filled with a filling material (5). As a result, the mixture of high density polyethylene and filling material provides resistance against higher temperatures, allowing the pipe to be able to transport fluids at elevated temperatures.

A passivating flexible insulation blanket positionable about a pipe includes an insulation core, an enclosing fabric, and a non-consumable passivator. The insulation core is substantially hydrophobic and includes a microporous material. The enclosing fabric fully encapsulates the insulation core to form a capsule or pouch about the insulation core. The non-consumable passivator is non-consumable such that there is no appreciable change to a mass of the non-consumable passivator after an extended time of activation. The non-consumable passivator is deposited into the insulation core and has a composition soluble in water. The non-consumable passivator includes a leachable component that leaches from the insulation core and is capable of neutralizing acidic components. The leachable component is water soluble and is capable of reacting with a surface of the pipe to form a protective coating on the pipe to aid in inhibiting corrosion formation on the surface of the pipe.

A high pressure hose that is resistant to microvoid formation includes an inner tube comprising a blend of crosslinked fluoroplastic material and fluoroelastomeric material, a first reinforcement layer constructed of para-aramid synthetic fibers, and an adhesive layer, and an outer cover.

An insulated assembly, including a pipe and a substantially rigid insulation board, is provided. The pipe includes a cylindrical outer surface defining a first diameter. The insulation board is disposed around the outer surface of the pipe and includes an inner surface defining a second diameter. The second diameter is substantially equal to the first diameter. The inner surface includes a plurality of grooves. Each of the plurality of grooves includes first and second opposed sidewalls. The insulation board includes a material having a compressive strength and a flexural strength, the compressive strength includes a value between fifteen pounds per square inch and one hundred pounds per square inch, and the flexural strength includes a value between forty pounds per square inch and one hundred pounds per square inch.

A pipe coupling construction which can be used for coupling of a high-pressure pipe includes an inner bush of a non-metallic material and an outer bush, which bushes in axial section have parts which mesh with each other in order to transmit axial forces. The inner bush can be fused or adhered to an outer cover layer of the pipe. The coupling has a metal sleeve construction. The outer bush has an outer bush protruding end which protrudes with respect to the inner bush and the metal sleeve construction is at least partially located within the outer bush protruding end. The metal sleeve construction and outer bush in axial section have parts which mesh with each other.

A composite pipe including an inner liner layer, a reinforcement layer, a structural layer, and an outer protection layer. The inner liner layer, the reinforcement layer, the structural layer, and the outer protection layer are arranged in that order from the inside out along the radial direction of the pipe. The reinforcement layer includes wound bamboo strips; the structural layer includes a wound planed board; and the reinforcement layer and the structural layer are sandwiched between the inner liner layer and the outer protection layer.

A fluid line adapted to contain a pressurized fluid imposing loads on the line that vary along its length comprises a tube formed of a fiber reinforced plastic, wherein the fibers are locally tailored along the length of the tube to meet local load requirements. The tube is consolidated within a volumetric chamber having separate, individually controlled chamber compartments for respectively consolidating different segments of the tube.
