Elephant, seriously endangering production safety, causing irreversible environmental pollution and serious social problems. Therefore, the research and application of non-metallic pipelines, especially the research of enhanced thermoplastic composite flexible pipeline RTP (reinforced thermo plastic pipe), has attracted the attention of the world [ 1].
Enhanced thermoplastic composite tube RTP is a composite flexibility
Phase 5: Fan Chong et al.: Research status and development trend of reinforced thermoplastic composite pipe joints
Pipeline, [2]. Compared with traditional metal pipes and plastic pipes, RTP can still maintain the flexibility and corrosion resistance of polyethylene pipes while bearing high working pressure. It can be made into a coil, namely continuous pipe form, which is convenient for transportation, rapid laying and cost reduction [3]. In recent years, RTP has been widely used in oil and gas transportation, mining and aerospace fields.
The RTP pipe wall generally has a three-layer structure, including the inner lining layer, the structural layer and the outer protective layer. The lining layer is generally made of polyethylene, polypropylene and other polymer materials with corrosion resistance and wear resistance, according to the conveying medium and conditions, combined with the mechanical properties, physical properties and thermal properties of the lining material. The middle is the structural layer, which is the pressure guarantee of the composite pipe, and requires fluid compatibility, temperature resistance and anti-aging performance. There are many types of materials, which can be formed by steel strip, glass fiber or aramid fiber, also known as reinforced layer. The main function of the outer protective layer is to maintain the external integrity of pipeline installation and working conditions. Generally, it is [4] of aging resistance and friction resistance. According to the pipeline operating conditions and environmental conditions, the mechanical properties, physical properties and permeability of the materials are considered, and the weather resistance should also be considered due to the contact with the external environment.
The RTP joint acts as RTP connection and sealing. If RTP is used as the joint material, the reinforced fiber connection cannot be formed
Effective force transfer structure, so RTP usually uses metal materials to connect the [5-8]. At present, there are many forms of composite pipe joint. With the development of RTP pipe design and manufacturing technology, its application environment is becoming more and more demanding, which brings greater challenges to the continuous good work of RTP pipeline and its joints.
1 The RTP connection technique
RTP usually has two categories: mechanical compression and non-mechanical compression. Mechanical bonding can be divided into mechanical bonding and wedge compaction, mechanical bonding usually consists of two parts: the inner core pipe with annular sawtooth structure on the outer surface, and the inner coat with annular sawtooth structure on the inner surface, and the coat are connected by thread, as shown in Figure 1. The working principle of the mechanical compression joint is to insert the RTP between the joint coat and the inner core pipe, and then apply external pressure to the coat. Relying on the annular serrated structure of the joint and RTP to realize the sealing and axial load transmission, and the connection between the pipe and pipe is completed by the metal joint. After the joint is connected, the inner diameter of the joint is the same as the inner diameter of the pipe. The internal and external pressure applied by the service environment ensures the effective connection between the joint and the composite pipe. The joint and pipe body are completely sealed at 360° . If special needs, the vent can be made for ventilation, which is very suitable for high pressure transmission [9] of natural gas.

pipe is mechanically used to promote the inner and outer sleeve section of the metal joint, closely matching the pipe and the joint through plastic deformation, and achieving the sealing performance requirements of [ 11] . The PE-steel reinforced layer-PE structure Flexsteel pipe produced by Flexstee l Company in the United States also adopts the mechanical buckle type connection mode, and Chengdu Qinx in Machinery Co ., Ltd. in China also adopts this connection mode for RTP pipe, both

The metal button joint is simple and convenient for construction, so it is favored by the market, but the connection may have two major defects: ① In order to press the end of the metal sleeve-RTP pipe end-pipe fitting, a certain pressure must be applied to the RTP pipe end, resulting in the compression deformation of the RTP pipe end and the thinning of the inner wall of the joint. In addition, the deformation of the RTP pipe end causes the deformation of the joint and the main body of the pipe, and the stress concentration at the connection between the joint and the pipe body, and eventually lead to rupture and failure, which is also the reason for the failure of the RTP joint and the pipe body in the hydraulic blasting test [13-14]; ② metal buckle pipe piece is generally made of stainless steel or carbon steel through mold forging, the cost is relatively high, and it is difficult to avoid corrosion problems.

One structure with the most applied wedge compression joints is shown in Figure 4, consisting of ANSI standard flange plugs, wedge metal blocks, and a metal coat. The plug is inserted into the inner wall of the RTP tube as the structural basis of the joint system; the inner wall is the most important structure of the connector system between the jacket and the connector system and the outside of the wedge to press the wedge and enhance the contact between the wedge and the outer wall [ 15]. The most prominent advantage of this kind of joint is that because no external force is applied in the loading process, the joint will not be easily deformed, so it can be reused, greatly reducing the pipeline transportation cost, extending the service life of the joint, and is widely used to connect the ocean RTP. Foreign commonly used Marine RTP joints mainly include Traplock-joint, Magma joints and other [ 16]. Traplock Joint is one of the earliest connection methods used in Marine RTP. It is connected with RTP in the form of fiber reinforced material wrapped on the tooth outline of the outer surface of the
joint. This joint has poor tensile resistance and sealing performance, and is mostly used for pipeline transportation [ 17] in low-pressure waters. The Magma type joint is developed by Magma company, which has higher tensile resistance and better sealing performance compared with the other joints of the same type, And the construction is convenient, can be used in a large number of deep-sea flexible pipe connection [ 18] .

The main application mode of non - mechanical compression joint is to enhance the electric melt socket joint, which relies on high temperature dissolution of RTP to achieve the purpose of connection and sealing. The fusion connection mode is shown in Figure 5 [21], first pick
The inner polyethylene is connected by the butt weld process, and then the enhanced thermoplastic sleeve mounted on the RTP body prior to the butt weld is moved to the joint site, and the outer polyethylene is melted by a copper heating coil inside the sleeve

Enes , connecting sleeve and outer polyethylene together to absorb and transfer axial forces . Electric melt pipe fittings can be divided into three kinds according to their materials: full plastic electric melt pipe fittings , steel skeleton reinforced composite electric melt pipe fittings and glass fiber reinforced composite electric melt pipe fittings . At present, the whole plastic electric pipe is the most widely used, but the pressure grade is low; the steel skeleton reinforced composite electric pipe has improved pressure resistance, but due to the creep nature of plastic, at high temperature or pressure, the steel belt reinforced layer in the hole in the pipe wall is easy to shear the " plastic strip "
Failure of the pipe fittings; glass fiber reinforced composite electric melt pipe fittings can effectively overcome the layered defects of steel skeleton reinforcement by glass fiber immersion treatment technology, with the highest pressure resistance grade . The connection method of the reinforced composite polyethylene pipe of MESCO company is to strip an reinforced layer, and then the polyethylene lining pipe wall thick butt melt welding or melt welding with electric melt sleeve, followed by the reinforcing belt on the molten welding surface, and finally the thermal shrinkage cross linked polyethylene sleeve as the outer protective layer for protection [ 19] .

metal pipe , its structure is more special and complex, can not use the traditional welding form of pipe end connection . Because the joint and composite pipe contact surface belongs to the metal and non-metal surface , and metal and non-metal material thermal expansion coefficient, thermal conductivity, stiffness and Poisson ratio has a great difference, when the composite pipe and joint system by external load, metal and non-metal response mode is different, may lead to the composite pipe and joint stripping , makes the joint and pipe connection failure [ 20] . Therefore , for the pipeline system, the reasonable design of the joint structure and seal and the anti corrosion design of the pipeline have an important influence on the safety and stability of oil exploitation and transportation .
2. 1 Joint structure optimization and design
During the loading of the button joint, the annular serration with the inner core and the metal coat fit the RTP, so the bite size between the annular serration and the RTP is the key factor in determining the effectiveness of the joint installation. The inner core of the joint will be affected by the axial force applied by the fluid during the service. If the occlusion size of annular serrated and RTP is too small, the joint cannot meet the strength requirements and the joint is easy to fall off and fail; if the occlusion size is too large, the serrated structure will damage RTP and lead to oil and gas leakage [21]. According to the optimal design of the annular serrated structure of the buckle joint, the finite element model can be established to simulate the stress performance of the RTP under the fixed load, by changing the structural parameters of the annular serrated, and to determine the best parameters of the RTP failure judgment standard. Zhang Xuemin et al. [22] established a finite element model of the RTP connector system, as shown in Figure 6. The external force in the real service environment is used as the simulation parameter to study the radial pressure and the axial tension of the joint

For the judgment criteria, the structural parameters such as Angle, length, height and number of the ring serration are gradually optimized, and finally the best structural parameters of the ring serration are determined through a large number of simulation result data.
F igure 6 F inite element model of the RTP connector system
In addition, enterprises and research scholars have also optimized the joint connection mode and ancillary structure. Shandong east macro pipe industry co., LTD. On the basis of the original wire mesh skeleton polyethylene composite pipe connection technology the design improved the connection way, using special steel reinforcement, each steel wire in the special steel reinforcement end corner produce a nearly 90 ° turn, the composite pipe at both ends of the wire to resist axial force, so that the connection between steel wire and steel reinforcement strong enhanced [23]. Gong Shunfeng et al. [24] studied the buckling response of steel pipes under external pressure, bending and axial tensile load, and discussed the load loading path and the key parameters. The scientific research team of Professor Bai Yong, School of Architectural Engineering, Zhejiang University, [25-26] also made in-depth analysis and research on the mechanical properties of fiber reinforced composite tube, offshore installation analysis, installation method and installation stability of RTP tube.
Due to the restriction of Marine RTP service environment, the structure optimization of wedge compression joint is more complicated. Zhang Dapeng et al. [27] used SolidWorks to design different structural joints for bonded flexible tubes and non-bonded enhanced thermoplastic tubes, used ABAQUS to establish a finite element simulation analysis model under different working conditions and different environmental load conditions, and compared the compressive strength and tensile strength of the two kinds of composite tubes. The results show that for the non-sticky flexible pipe joint, the end to the root of the resistant armor layer, increases the ring metal protective sleeve and the joint body installation connection, in the gap between the end of the resistant armor layer and epoxy resin, can enhance the ability to bear internal pressure here. Wang Shaopeng et al. [28] designed a new wedge clamping joint for 152.4 mm (6 in) nonmetal bonded RTP tubes suitable for underwater, as shown in Figure 7. The key part of the joint is a wedge with clamping teeth on the inner wall, which is embedded between the joint sleeve and the composite pipe when the joint system is active, thus improving the joint

Overall strength, while the clamping structure can ensure that the joint and the composite pipe under pressure, enhance the sealing performance of the joint. Yang Baocheng et al. [29] used ABAQUS finite element analysis software to simulate the buckle pressure process of the pipe joint, and developed a new type of non-bonded flexible pipe joint, which not only avoided the deformation of the vent, but also improved the structural strength of the vent hole. In addition, Ma Gang and other [30] considered the geometric asymmetry of the joint, adopted the 3 D overall modeling, simulated the pretension behavior of the bolt through the pretension unit of ANSYS software, used the contact unit to simulate the interaction between the components, and proposed a method to determine the pretension force of the bolt. Cao Baogang et al. [31] conducted a finite element simulation for the non-linear flange joints, and systematically analyzed the influence of the structural size, material characteristics, bolt tightening degree and the internal pressure load of the flange joints on the performance of the flange joints.
nonlinear, contact, established the enhanced thermal plastic tube melt joint electrostatic analysis model, and according to the analysis results through the tube composite laminated structure optimization, realize the optimization of the structure. He J inning [34] uses ANSYS to carry out static contact analysis, creep and stress relaxation analysis and optimization design of RTP flange melt joint, with the tooth height, pitch, cutting Angle and tooth number that affect the thread shape as the design variables, and adopts the zero-order method to realize the structural optimization of flange melt joint.
A large number of studies show that the reliability of the joint can be improved more effectively by optimizing the parameters or adding the new design key components to the original component structure of the joint.

They analyzed the stress distribution of the joint and RTP under the limit of finite element simulation, and verified the rationality and reliability of the new joint with the simulation results.

Will be corroded by the oil and gas media, the external will be corroded by the service environment [35]. Therefore, the joint in the factory before the internal and external surface anti corrosion treatment. Joint anti corrosion technology includes the selection of stainless steel, corrosion resistant alloy materials and epoxy powder external coating technology.
At present, on the selection of reinforced thermoplastic composite pipe joints , the commonly used stainless steel materials are 316L stainless steel. On the basis of stainless steel and other corrosion resistant alloy materials , a variety of joint materials are derived. Lu Guo qing et al. [ 36] invented a stainless steel composite pipe joint with cast iron or galvanized pipe as the pipe joint body, which is characterized by a plastic layer on the body of the stainless steel composite pipe joint, and a layer of stainless steel lining is laid on the plastic layer, which further enhances the corrosion resistance of stainless steel material.
Epoxy powder coating has strong adhesion on the metal surface, and the powder paint film has the characteristics of high hardness, friction resistance and corrosion resistance. Epoxy powder has strong adaptability, can use electrostatic spraying, flame spraying and other methods on the metal surface, of which electrostatic coating method. Due to joint plastic deformation in the process of corrosion coating is damaged, so need to in the epoxy powder coating work, in a dry environment using spraying device on the
joint wall coating surface spray an inert material, make the joint wall to add a layer of uniform protective layer with the function of sacrifice anode, so as to effectively prevent the corrosion coating destroyed [37].

Compared with the traditional metal pipes by welding connection , RTP relies on external metal joints to realize the connection between pipes . Due to the difference between the material itself, the two will not be tight , resulting in insufficient sealing performance . The joint and composite pipe connection are the most prone to oil and gas leakage in the whole pipe section

During loading , " O " rubber sealing ring
can be embedded in the axial contact
parts of the composite pipe and the joint ,
and the axial load generated when
conveying the medium will squeeze the sealing ring to improve the joint sealing pe rformance; or use mo re metal joints
with sealing properties , such as gas seal threaded joint [ 38] and serrated joint .
The sealing structures of most unbonded flexible pipe joints are sealing by squeezing the mold sealing ring with serrations to generate contact pressure, as shown in Figure 8 [39]. Most of the current analysis focuses on the solution of the contact pressure, or evaluates the sealing performance of the product through the test. Bank e and Jensen[40] studied the sealing performance of NKT's unbonded pipe joints under high pressure and temperature cycle loads, and designed a test device. Fernando, Nott, Graham and other [41] measured the contact pressure on the metal and metal contact surface of the non-bonded pipe joint by Wellstream non-contact ultrasonic method
and compared with the finite element analysis results. This way of evaluating the sealing performance by UTM method is relatively novel. Fernando and George[42] establish the numerical model of the joint structure, obtain the contact pressure distribution on the two leakage channels, and then evaluate the sealing effect of the joint, and verify it with the test. Li Xiangyun et al. [43] made a structural analysis of the flexible pipe joint in a sea area, and studied the change law of the sealing performance under different loading displacement, sealing ring cone Angle and radius of curvature of the sealing circle arc. The study found that the main design parameters of the sealing structure were the cone Angle and curvature of the sealing ringRadius as well as the loading displacement. Zhang Liang et al. [39,44] simulated the sealing performance of the sealing ring of non - bonded pipe joints used in a sea area, proposed an easy-to-use sealing criterion, and designed the sealing ring for non - bonded pipe joints.

Miao et al. [45] optimized and improved the traditional button joint structure, as shown in Figure 9. The improved inner and outer sleeve of the joint is set to the radian slope chamfer thread, so that the joint can evenly spread the axial load, so as to improve the strength of the joint, and the arc surface can play a better sealing role. In addition, they invented a fluorinated e lastomer ring, which contains the metal reinforced structure inside the ring for higher strength and better corrosion and sealing properties than traditional rubber rings. This optimization improvement improves the sealing performance of the metal joint and effectively extends the service life of the joint. Mao Qingkai [46] deeply analyzed the key problems such as connection and sealing in the joint design process, and completed the example design of the shallow sea oil pipeline joint. Wu et al. [47] designed a buckle Marine hose joint and analyzed the influencing factors of the strength of the joint.
