ABSTRACT:
A resin transfer molding process for making composite pipe. The method includes disposing a preform on a mandrel and jacketing a heat-shrinkable sleeve over the preform such that an annular gap is maintained between the sleeve and the preform to form a buffer chamber in the annular gap. A thermosetting resin is then filled into the buffer chamber. The resin is then leveled and settled in the resin in the buffer chamber to form a resin pool. The heat-shrinkable sleeve is thermally shrunk by heating the sleeve. The heating occurs in a heating zone having an upper portion and a lower portion. A first fastening ring is fastened on the sleeve adjacent to the upper portion of the heating zone, and a second fastening ring is fastened on the sleeve adjacent to the lower portion of the heating zone. The heating zone moves upwardly along the sleeve to thermally shrink the sleeve. The resin is heated and cured and the sleeve is removed to form a composite pipe.
