The main purpose of this study was to determine the comparison of the bending strength of composite pipes when treated with hot water. In this study, composite pipes were made using woven sacks and tied with an epoxy matrix which was molded using the VARTM (Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Molding) method. Jute fiber laminated composite on epoxy binder is made by laminated 3 layers with fiber direction 450 and has a thickness of 2.55 mm, the jute-epoxy composite pipe will be treated with heat treatment. Then tested on bending loading. The results of this study were the bending stress and strain on the control specimen compared to the heat treated specimen, an increase in the strain of the heat treatment specimen was 0.007 [MPa], this was due to the heat treatment temperature on the specimen which caused a change in the properties of the specimen itself, which was initially a brittle specimen changes to plastic. Meanwhile, the value of bending stress and modulus of elasticity on control specimens and heat treatment specimens. The obtained stress on the control composite pipe is 67.946 [MPa] with a modulus of elasticity of 10.398 [GPa]. While the heat-treated composite pipe has a bending stress of 28.613 [MPa] with an elastic modulus of 2.225 [GPa].
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
