Mechanical properties custom pipe

As reviewed, the mechanical properties of centrifugally molded pipe and 55° filament wound pipe are much more resin dependent than typical custom engineered pipe. With centrifugally cast pipe, the tensile properties are very resin dependent because the fibers are chopped into relatively short lengths. It is subjected to creep and time-loss of mechanical properties. In addition, resin properties drop radically with temperature especially near the glass transition temperature.
