THERMOPLASTIC PIPE TECHNOLOGY

CryoReel® composite cryogenic pipe

Composite pipe engineered for extreme-temperature infrastructure, combining smooth bore, low thermal movement, low weight and reel deployment

CryoReel® is manufactured from thermoplastic composite, sometimes reinforced with carbon fibre.
The pipe is built additively. A thermoplastic sheet is rolled into a cylindrical liner and continuously laser-welded to create a smooth, leak-tight bore with no internal liner joint.
Carbon fibre reinforcement is applied for strength and pressure rating, followed by an outer composite skin, laser-welded for durability.
Steel end connectors are factory-fitted and tested before the pipe leaves Southampton, so there is no on-site welding at installation.

Enoflex selects composite materials engineered for the challenging environments found in liquid and gas energy transfer.

Tough at cryogenic temperatures.

As a result of our R&D we hold patents for the design and manufacture of cost-effective pipe that has multiple advantages for cryogenic applications.

WHAT IT IS

Single Polymer Composite (SPC)

Patented design using long, unidirectional fibres combined in a matrix of the same polymer to produce a high-strength tape. The tape is fused in layers using lasers in Enoflex's precision manufacturing process, then spooled onto transportation or installation reels. SPC pipe performs across a wide range, from ambient to cryogenic applications.

THERMOPLASTIC COMPOSITE-CF

Made from carbon fibre and high performing thermoplastics from the aerospace industry. This gives best in class pressure resistance for the most demanding applications. The pipe has a a fully bonded structure with a smooth bore. Fibre angle can be adjusted to optimise flexibility, stiffness and strength.

SHARED ADVANTAGES

Enoflex manufactures composite pipe for cryogenic fluid transport, using a patented laser additive composite process. The same underlying capabilities serves superconducting power, LNG infrastructure and liquid hydrogen aviation.
