Flexible pipes are dynamic risers that are connected to subsea production equipment in topside facilities, which permit the flow of oil, gas, and water through them. Flexible pipes are also used on the seabed to tie wells and subsea equipment together. These pipes are largely used in the oil and gas industry, as they have an intrinsic property to reversibly soften on heating and harden on cooling. These pipes also offer distinctive properties, such as high thermal resistance, chemical inertness, superior mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and excellent adhesion. The market for these pipes is increasing owing to the rapid advances in manufacturing technologies and applications. HDPE, PA, PVDF, polypropylene (PP), and polyether ether ketone (PEEK) are different polymer materials used to manufacture flexible pipes.
