Conclusion: Third Party Investigation Revealed
Good Quality Composite Tubular Reflective of
Good Manufacturing Process
Benefits of “NO VOIDS”
• No Inclusion of Gas/Liquids
• No Crack Nucleation Site
• No Permeability
• Better Mechanical Properties
• Better Lifespan of Composites
• Better Performance
Third Party “VOIDS” Content Evaluation:
Microscopy on Cross-Sections of HSCT
Result: No “Voids” Observed in the 3 Specimens
Taken From a 7” Composite Tubular
Explanation of Sample HSCT and What You See:
Visible Are The Stitching (-45°/45°) That Hold The Glass Fiber Matting in Place. The Orientation of the Glass
Fibers are 0° and 90°. The Fibers are NOT Visible in the High Strength Composite Tubular (HSCT) Sample.
