Application of glass fiber and other composite materials in offshore platforms

The development of modern high technology is inseparable from composite materials, which play a very important role in the development of modern science and technology. Because of its light weight, corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, and high strength, it has been widely used in various fields such as aerospace, marine development, ships, ships, and high-speed rail cars in recent years, and has replaced many traditional materials.
At present, glass fiber and carbon fiber composite materials play a huge role in the fields of offshore energy development, shipbuilding, and marine engineering repair.

Application in marine energy

Offshore oil has been recognized as a potential field. For some time, composite materials have slowly and steadily replaced the top (above water level) metal in more and more offshore installations, whether it is a new installation or the renovation of an existing structure. Carbon fiber has high advantages in marine engineering construction. Carbon fiber materials have relatively light weight, high strength, and corrosion resistance. Most of the traditional building materials are replaced by structural parts, which solves the problems of high freight and seawater erosion of traditional steel materials.

Compared with steel that corrodes rapidly in seawater, composite materials made of chemically resistant resin have almost no corrosion. For platform components, such as column pipes (pipes that extend from the platform down to below the water surface to supply seawater) and fire-fighting water systems (pipes used to extinguish potential fires), this corrosion resistance means years of maintenance-free service. The life cycle of fiber-reinforced plastic pipes can be saved up to 70%. ”
In 1994, Brazilian oil companies used composite grids on a large scale for handrails, ladders, and other custom-made upper hardware products, because composite grids have high load-bearing capacity and minimal deflection.

Generally speaking, the application of carbon fiber in the marine field started relatively late. In the future, with the development of composite technology, the development of maritime military and the development of marine resources, as well as the enhancement of equipment design capabilities, the development of carbon fiber and its composite materials will be promoted. Flourish.
