description The present study examines the fabrication, mechanical assessment, and finite element analysis (FEA) of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) woven composite pipes in order to evaluate their structural capabilities. The goals entailed assessing the tensile, compressive, and pressure durability of the composite pipes using empirical examinations and verifying the findings using Finite Element Analysis (FEA). The methods employed in the study showcased constructing composite pipes using the process of roll wrapping. Mechanical testing were then conducted in accordance with ASTM standards utilizing a Universal Testing Machine (UTM). Additionally, pressure tests were performed. The results showed a high level of agreement between the experimental and FEA data. The pipes had notable tensile and compressive strength and were able to bear internal pressures. The research emphasizes the durability and appropriateness of CFRP woven composite pipes for demanding industrial applications, indicating their potential for use in fluid transport systems in challenging situations. Suggestions for further research encompass enhancing fabrication techniques, investigating the long-term performance, and evaluating the environmental ramifications of these composites.
