A comprehensive overview of the fabrication and testing methods of FRP composite pipes.

The current work offers a comprehensive and in-depth examination of Fiber Reinforced Composite pipes mainly dealing with Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) composite pipes, with a focus on fabrication techniques, testing methodologies, diverse applications across industries, challenges, limitations, and future developments. Because of their exceptional mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and lightweight nature, CFRP composite pipes have received a lot of attention. It delves into the various CFRP composite pipe fabrication techniques, such as filament winding and pultrusion. The review delves deeply into the multifaceted landscape of testing and characterization methodologies for CFRP composite pipes. Mechanical testing, environmental assessments, and non-destructive evaluation techniques are investigated in order to better understand their roles in determining the structural integrity and performance of these pipes. This review provides a comprehensive understanding of CFRP composite pipes, bridging the gap between research and practical implementation. This paper serves as a valuable resource for researchers, engineers, and practitioners interested in the many facets of CFRP composite pipes and their profound impact on modern industries by synthesizing knowledge from fabrication to application.
