Abstract
Thermoplastic composite pipes (TCP) in comparison to other pipes have proven beneficial features due to its flexibility which includes being fit for purpose, lightweight and no corrosion. However, during the manufacturing of TCP which involves the consolidation process, certain defects may be induced in it because of certain parameters, and this can affect the performance of the pipe in the long run as the induced defects might lead to in-service defects. Current techniques used in the industry are facing challenges with on-the-spot detection in a continuous manufacturing system. In TCP manufacturing process, the pipe is regularly monitored. When a defect is noticed, the whole process stops, and the appropriate action is taken. However, shutting down the process is costly; hence it is vital to decrease the downtime during manufacturing to the barest minimum. The solutions include optimizing the process for reduction in the manufacturing defects amount and thoroughly understanding the effect of parameters which causes certain defect types in the pipe. This review covers the current state-of-the-art and challenges associated with characterizing the identified manufacturing induced defects in TCP. It discusses and describes all effective consolidation monitoring strategies for early detection of these defects during manufacturing through the application of suitable sensing technology that is compatible with the TCP. It can be deduced that there is a correlation between manufacturing process to the performance of the final part and selection of characterization technique as well as optimizing process parameters.
