摘要：
Oil and gas operators have been looking for a more reliable and cost-effective material for their pipelines to substitute steel in pipes and connectors. Reinforced thermoplastic pipes are a popular choice for this purpose, but they are still mainly using steel connectors, which have limited lifetimes due to corrosion. For this reason, efforts are being made to design a non-metallic electrofusion coupler to connect these. This article looks at the current state of the art in electrofusion welding of standard polyethylene pipes and aims to find possibilities of applying this technology to reinforced thermoplastic pipes.
