COMPOSITE LINEPIPE
It Pays to be Flexible
Flexpipe Systems manufactures and distributes a flexible, composite
pipeline solution for the energy sector. Our corrosion resistant, highpressure pipeline products help drive down installation costs while
increasing productivity. With over 65 million feet (19 million meters)
of Flexpipe Systems patented Linepipe technology and 90,000
fittings successfully installed throughout North America, Latin
America and Australia, our team of technical experts, engineers,
and field personnel will find the right solution for your next pipeline
project.

Modernizing pipelines in the field


All Flexpipe Systems products use the same principle: a
thermoplastic liner, a helically wound reinforcement layer and an
external thermoplastic jacket.
Our composite linepipe solutions are used in a wide range of
applications in which a corrosion resistant pipeline is beneficial,
including:
Oil and gas gathering
Water transfer, disposal, and injection
CO2 injection

Our onshore solution that eliminates


corrosion, speeds installation and reduces
operational costs. Available in 2", 3"
and 4" internal diameter sizes with 300,
750, and 1,500 psi pressure ratings
and a maximum continuous operating
temperature of 140F (60C). The
patented unbonded fiber design is suitable
for a broad range of options including
oil, gas, water, H2S and CO2 and offers
industry leading impact resistance and
flexibility for ease of handling around
corners and bends.
