Strohm, the maker of thermoplastic composite pipes (TCP), has launched its TCP Designer — a new web-based tool developed to help companies design and engineer TCPs for their projects.

According to its developers, the TCP Designer helps users ensure their piping systems meet the requirements for water depth, pressure, temperature and means of installation. Specifically, the online tool is designed to streamline pipe design assessments during the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) stage of projects, thus enabling engineers to evaluate the suitability of TCP for assorted applications.

By entering project-specific details, users can instantly generate datasheets featuring key parameters such as size, weight, stiffness and minimum bend radius. This capability allows for a rapid assessment of factors like installation feasibility and on-site performance. For example, it enables users to evaluate the range of vessels that can install TCPs at any water depth.

Further, the tool streamlines decision-making, minimizes design iteration time and promotes the use of cost-effective, lightweight and corrosion-resistant TCP solutions in energy infrastructure and assorted industrial projects.

The TCP Designer offers an interface that eases the complex process of pipeline design and engineering. Its computational capabilities allow users to customize pipe designs to meet specific project requirements and environmental conditions, generating comprehensive datasheets in just minutes
