Abstract:
Currently process industries are facing excessive problem of corrosion, wear and tear, toughness, and strength degradation in various metal/alloy-based pipes. In this work, an alternative approach has been adopted in effort to fix the issue with two phase composite pipes i.e., glass fiber and epoxy resin. Two phased composite was synthesized after mixing epoxy & hardener (Amine) in a ratio of 2:1. Curing of these samples were conducted at 60?, 80?, 100?, 120?,140?, 160?. In this synchronized thermal and mechanical study, Thermal conductivity (K), specific heat capacity (Cp), Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Fourier Transfer Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Hoop strength tests were performed. FTIR manifested the presence of (O-H) group, Amine (N-H) and epoxied. Optimal degradation, hoop strength and burst pressure was recorded for a sample cured at 140 oC.
