Comprehensive Technological Evolution of Composite Pipe Joint Equipment: A Review 2026-05-18
Composite pipes, particularly Reinforced Thermoplastic Pipes (RTP), offer outstanding corrosion resistance, light weight, and long service life. However, connection technology has long been a bottleneck limiting their large-scale application. This article systematically reviews the technological evolution of composite pipe joint equipment, highlighting fully automatic continuous feeding systems, precision temperature-controlled heating, enhanced stability and reliability, and a threefold efficiency gain compared to conventional methods. The paper also analyzes the global composite pipe market growth (CAGR exceeding 5%), explores application prospects in oil & gas, geothermal, and district heating, and outlines key international and regional standards (ASME, GOST, Chinese national standards). Fully automatic composite pipe joint equipment is emerging as a critical enabler for upgrading the composite pipe industry.
