Patent number: 11794418Abstract: A system for coupling pipes includes a first pipe having a tapered, spigot end; a second pipe having a tapered, spigot end; wherein the first pipe and the second pipe are made from a reinforced thermosetting resin (RTR), and a coupler having two tapered socket ends adapted to internally receive the respective tapered, spigot ends of the first pipe and the second pipe, wherein a thermoplastic material is disposed between an exterior of the first pipe and an interior of the coupler. A thermoplastic material is disposed between an exterior of the second pipe and the interior of the coupler. Upon application of induction heating to the coupler, the heat between the first pipe, the second pipe, and the coupler is sufficient to melt the thermoplastic material such that, when the heat is removed, the hardened thermoplastic material seals the first pipe and the second pipe to the coupler.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2021Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignees: SAUDI ARABIAN OIL COMPANY, SAUDI ARAMCO TECHNOLOGIES COMPANYInventors: Abderrazak Traidia, Abdullah Al Shahrani, Waleed Al Nasser, Chris Worrall, Farshad Salamat-Zadeh
