This article provides a structured comparison of RTP pipes by size category. Small diameter (≤6″) offers spoolable installation and high pressure (up to 32 MPa), with >25% lifecycle cost savings over steel. Medium diameter (6–12″) balances flow capacity and handling for midstream and industrial water. Large diameter (12–18″) reaches 457 mm with burst pressure up to 24.34 MPa, suitable for corrosive trunk lines, offshore risers, and hydrogen transmission. A selection matrix and best-practice recommendations are included to avoid undersizing or oversizing mistakes. Read More

Reinforced Thermoplastic Pipes (RTP) are increasingly replacing steel pipelines due to their corrosion resistance, flexibility, and high pressure capacity.
