The document discusses a student project called "The S-PIPE" that aims to design improved oil pipelines using composite materials. The students propose using a composite of neoprene rubber, carbon steel, and aluminum to create pipes that are more durable and resistant to corrosion and scratches from rocks. Testing of these composite materials could increase pipeline lifetimes, protect the environment from oil leaks, and provide economic benefits to Qatar's oil industry. The students recommend further testing and studies of their composite pipe design called "The S-PIPE".

Composite material, also called composite, a solid material that results when two or more different substances, each with its own characteristics, are combined to create a new substance whose properties are superior to those of the original components. INTRODUCTION

Activity 4: Testing a foam composites for strength and stiffness Activity 5: Designing a fishing pole.
- 5. 05 04 03 02 01 The S-PIPE Al- Bairaq IDM 14th cycle 2018 PROJECT IDEA THE S- PIPE Introduction Oil pipelines are used in almost all countries like Qatar to transfer oil from one location to another. The current pipelines are mostly made of stainless only which has great benefits but also has some drawbacks.
- 6. 05 04 03 02 01 The S-PIPE Al- Bairaq IDM 14th cycle 2018 PROJECT IDEA THE S- PIPE The problem When the oil is extracted from wells, water and rocks comes out with it with huge pressure. This leads to starches on the inner surface which is known as Pipeline Dents. It causes eventually corrosion and leakage of the oil.

- 8. 05 04 03 02 01 The S-PIPE Al- Bairaq IDM 14th cycle 2018 THE S- PIPE PROJECT AIM The projects main purpose is to design new oil pipelines made from new and improved materials. What we are trying to accomplish is a solid, corrosion resistant anti scratch and leak pipes. These features are non-existent currently. However, with the use of composite materials we can accomplish it.

- 11. NEOPRENERUBBER CARBONSTEEL ALUMINUM RESULTS BENEFITS RECOMMENDATIO NS NEOPRENE RUBBER Is a rubber that is oil, petroleum, ozone, water and weathering-resistance are needed. Usually seen in diving suits
- 12. NEOPRENERUBBER CARBONSTEEL ALUMINUM RESULT S BENEFITS RECOMMENDATION S CARBON STEEL Good formability and weldability, strong, low cost and corrosion resistance.
- 13. NEOPRENERUBBER CARBONSTEEL ALUMINUM RESULTS BENEFITS RECOMMENDATIONS ALUMINUM Good metal, low cost and lightweight. When it exposed to air it makes aluminum oxide layer and that gives a excellent corrosion resistance.
- 14. NEOPRENERUBBER CARBONSTEEL ALUMINUM RESULTS BENEFITS RECOMMENDATION S We are sure that our project is able to enhance the performance of the oil pipelines in many countries. The combination of the previously stated composite materials will give scratching resistance and light weight pipelines. Neoprene rubber Carbon steel Aluminum
- 15. Cost study โข The S-Pipe is made from three main materials which are locally manufacture by Qatari companies like Qatalum, Qatar Steel and Qatar Rubber โข Raw stainless steal in Qatar approximately costs 2200 QR per ton โข Raw aluminum is a little more expensive than stainless steel at a price of 3720 QR per ton approximtly โข Neoprene rubber cost approximately 90 QR per m2 โข The S-Pipe will use 50% less of steel than regular pipe decreasing the cost by half โข The price of the imported pipeline approximately is $5.2 million/mile โข Based on this rough study its expected to that a locally manufacture pipeline is less expensive than an important pipeline
- 16. NEOPRENERUBBER CARBONSTEEL ALUMINUM RESULTS BENEFITS RECOMMENDATIONS Increase the lifetime of pipelines and reduce deterioration due to rocks scratching and corrosion. Protect the environment from oil leakage. It has many economic benefits by expanding the industry in Qatar
- 17. NEOPRENERUBBER CARBONSTEEL ALUMINUM RESULTS BENEFITS RECOMMENDATI0 NS We recommend doing further tests on the product to evaluate its efficiency and doing further studies. We hope that this project become useful and implemented in Qatar because its an oil producing country.
- 18. CONCLOSION Composite materials are very beneficial because it provides the good property of each combining material to give excellent results. In Al-Bairaq we learned a lot about composites and we were able to come up with a product that can help Qatar and the world to its economic and environmental benefits.
- 19. ACKNOWLEDGME NT Many thanks to our teachers, school and AL-BAIRAQ team from Center for Advanced Materials (CAM), Qatar University for supporting us during our journey with AL-BAIRAQ. Also, I would like to thank Al-BAIRAQ partners UNESCO and Qatar National Commission.
