RTP hydrogen pipeline

Author: [Bruce Zhou]Affiliation: [Jota Machinery Composites Material Prepreg Solution]Corresponding Author: [jotamachinery@gmail.com]Published : April 08 , 2026 Abstract Reinforced thermoplastic pipe (RTP) has gained wide acceptance in oil and gas gathering and injection systems due to its corrosion resistance, spoolability, and rapid deployment characteristics. However, real-world deployment in chemically aggressive environments—particularly aromatic-rich crude streams and alkaline […]

Author: [Bruce Zhou]Affiliation: [Jota Machinery Composites Material Prepreg Solution]Corresponding Author: [jotamachinery@gmail.com]Published : April 08 , 2026 Abstract Hydrogen transport is forcing a reassessment of conventional pipeline design. Steel systems, long considered the default solution for oil and gas transmission, show clear limitations when exposed to hydrogen, including embrittlement, crack propagation, and accelerated service life reduction.
