Strohm Introduces Web-Based Tool to Simplify Thermoplastic Pipe Design
(P&GJ) — Strohm has launched TCP Designer, a new web-based tool designed to streamline the engineering and design process for thermoplastic composite pipes (TCP). This tool aims to help companies meet critical project requirements for water depth, pressure, temperature, and installation methods with improved efficiency.
The TCP Designer tool simplifies the design assessments typically conducted during the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) stage of projects. Engineers can input project-specific specifications to generate datasheets that detail parameters such as size, weight, stiffness, and minimum bend radius. These insights help users evaluate installation feasibility and in-place analysis more effectively.
The online platform is particularly beneficial for projects involving lightweight, corrosion-resistant TCP solutions in energy infrastructure and other industries. According to Strohm, the tool reduces design iteration time, enhances decision-making, and encourages the adoption of cost-effective alternatives to traditional steel pipes.
Strohm CEO Martin van Onna highlighted the industry's lack of accessible information about composite pipes compared to steel pipes.
“While there is a plethora of information about designing and engineering steel pipes, the same cannot be said for composite pipes,” van Onna said. “TCP Designer allows users the independence to design their own piping systems that align perfectly with their project requirements, with the confidence that Strohm’s engineering department is a phone call away if they’d like to discuss specific projects. It’s innovation designed for efficiency, precision, and peace of mind.”
The tool features a user-friendly interface and robust computational capabilities, enabling engineers to customize pipe designs to match specific project needs and environmental conditions. Users can create detailed data sheets within minutes, saving time and improving project planning efficiency.
Van Onna emphasized that the tool empowers both clients and engineering firms by simplifying complex challenges.
By offering an intuitive design tool, Strohm hopes to increase the adoption of TCP, which offers advantages such as lightweight construction, corrosion resistance, and compatibility with a wide range of installation vessels.
