  1. Overview
3P.COM develops Thermoplastic Composite Pipes (TCP) for hydrogen transmission and distribution. TCPs are corrosion-free, lightweight, easy to install, and engineered for strength and resistance to fatigue damage in both onshore and offshore environments.

  1. R&D Scope
  1. Pipe architecture: inner liner → H₂ barrier layer → composite load-bearing layers [±θ] → outer jacket
  2. Parameter optimization: material, thickness, winding angle, internal pressure, bending moment, temperature profile
  3. Use cases: trunk lines, spools, risers, jumpers, and plant piping for green hydrogen

  1. Manufacturing Process (TCP)

< Winding TCP of CARBON/Thermoplastics; PA6 , PPS, PVDF, PEEK, etc. >
  1. Pipe Extrusion – Thermoplastic inner liner
  2. Composite Lay-up – Tape wrapping of carbon/glass/basalt with hot-gun or laser-assisted consolidation
  3. Outer Jacket Extrusion – Protective thermoplastic jacket
  4. Coiling – Large-diameter gantry coiling for rapid deployment
     - Layering options: carbon, glass tailored to pressure/bending/MBR targets

  1. Testing & Qualification
  1. Burst pressure, Minimum Bending Radius (MBR), pressure cycling
  2. Long-term creep & fatigue durability
  3. Hydrogen permeation / barrier performance

  1. Simulation & Digital Tools

PAGE-3.png< Multiscale based Creep Ruptrue & Fatigue Life Prediction >
  1. HyPipe – Burst pressure & MBR prediction, laminate/angle optimization
  2. HyFlex – Long-term life prediction (creep & fatigue)
  3. 3PHPP – Hydrogen permeation prediction across liner/barrier/composite layers

  1. Why 3P.COM
  1. Integrated design → manufacturing → validation workflow
  2. Field-deployable TCP process for fast, low-CAPEX installation
  3. Custom carbon/glass stacks tuned to cost, weight, and life targets

  1. Result: Reliable, lightweight hydrogen pipelines with shorter time-to-install and lower lifecycle cost—engineered for both onshore networks and offshore dynamic service.
