**KILGORE, Texas — July 22, 2024** **—**We are thrilled to welcome Liz Abbott to Composite Piping Technology (CPT) as Vice President of Sales. With over 15 years of experience in the Oil and Gas industry, Liz has earned a reputation for her technical expertise, strategic insight, and ability to deliver tailored solutions that meet customer needs effectively. She brings the unique combination of an extensive engineering background coupled with proven business acumen, making her an important resource for CPT customers and a key member of our management team. In her new role, Liz will spearhead our sales strategy, drive market expansion, and cultivate customer relationships.
B.G. Clark, president of CPT, said, “We are so excited to have Liz join our CPT family. With her engineering experience in oil and gas and strong customer-focused approach, Liz stands out as something of a ‘unicorn’ in our business. Her exceptional talent for listening to customers, grasping their technical challenges, and helping to craft innovative solutions, backed by years of seeing how things really work in the field makes her a significant resource.  Liz’s expertise will not only benefit CPT but also empower our customers, especially as we bring MaxDR™, the first large-diameter, high-pressure, fusible composite HDPE pipe, to market.”
Prior to joining CPT, Liz was a sales professional with Ferguson Industrial, delivering pipe, valve, and fitting solutions to customers in oil and gas, water midstream, mining, and aerospace applications throughout the Permian Basin and beyond. Before that, she gained invaluable knowledge of oil, gas, and water operations through increasingly senior positions including Project Engineer with ExxonMobil/XTO Energy and Apache Corp., and Engineering Manager with Solaris Water Midstream.
“I am excited about joining CPT at this pivotal time,” said Liz. “Given my experience in the Permian Basin, I immediately understood how MaxDR can be a great solution and make a difference across many industries. I am looking forward to collaborating with pipeline designers and our partners as momentum builds.”
Liz holds a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering and a Master of Science in Engineering Technology Management, both from the Colorado School of Mines.

Developing the first high-pressure, fusible composite HDPE poly pipe is no easy feat, but that is exactly what we are doing at Composite Piping Technology.
An important milestone in the process is the , established by the American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM), commonly known as the “Quick Burst” test.
The ASTM D1599 test method “…establishes the short-term hydraulic failure pressure of thermoplastic pipe, tubing and fittings, and reinforced thermosetting pipe, and reinforced thermoplastic pipe.” The test involves subjecting multiple joints of pipe to a hydraulic pressure test to simulate field conditions and determine the Design Safety Factor.
# ASTM D1599: To Rate Our Pipes, We Had to Break Them!
We subjected our MaxDR™ 350 pipe to the D1599 Quick Burst test to assess the targeted 4:1 Design Safety Factor. The video below shows the resiliency of MaxDR 350 during a test session.
The test simulated how MaxDR 350 would stand up to pressures far exceeding those likely to be encountered in operational service in a buried or restrained environment.
### Result:
**The 12″ MaxDR™ pipe exceeded the Design Safety Factor goal of 4:1 and is rated for 350 psi service based on repeatable QC quick bursts at over 1400 psi.**
## **MaxDR™ High-Pressure Fusible Composite Poly Pipe**
 (CPT) is the first large diameter, fusible composite poly pipe reinforced by multiple layers of fiberglass cohesively bonded to the HDPE core pipe. MaxDR offers pipeline designers, builders and operators all the benefits of HDPE poly pipe with the strength of composite materials.
The table below compares MaxDR 350 to its standard HDPE poly pipe equivalent.
###
At 18.5 pounds per foot, 12” MaxDR 350 pipe is significantly lighter than its nearest standard HDPE poly pipe equivalent (16” diameter) weighing-in at 42.6 pounds per foot – a weight savings of 56%.
## Key Features of MaxDR Include:
* **Large diameters.**Available in diameters ranging from 12″ to 24″.
* **Enhanced pressure performance.**Delivers 2-3x greater pressure performance while remaining lightweight and strong.
* **High-pressure applications.**Available for applications of 350, 550 and 750 psi service, dramatically expanding the performance envelope of lightweight, fusible HDPE poly pipe.
* MaxDR joints are fused together using existing HDPE fusing equipment.
* **Corrosion resistant.** Suitable for transporting highly corrosive gases, liquids and slurries.
* **Compliance with standards.**Manufactured to ASTM and API standards applicable to traditional HDPE 4710 pipe.
* **Full traceability.**Embedded with RFID tags aids digital traceability.
## **MaxDR Benefits**
MaxDR offers *A Material Difference in Performance and Value™.* As a lighter, less expensive pipe for the same application,  delivers these benefits:
1. **Use poly pipe where it has never been used before.** MaxDR enables the use of lightweight, easy to use, durable poly pipe in applications where ordinary HDPE cannot due to pressure constraints.
2. **Lower installation and capital costs.** MaxDR is substantially lighter than alternative steel pipes for higher-pressure applications, reducing transportation, handling and installation costs. The ability to use existing poly pipe fusing equipment enables faster installation.
3. **Decreased operating cost.** Leak-free operation eliminates spills and the need for costly cathodic protection and anti-corrosion chemicals.
4. **Reduced carbon intensity.** Composite pipes use fewer resources, promoting sustainability and resource conservation.
5. **No leak fusion joint.** Easy to use and MaxDR segments are joined using existing HDPE fusing technology for a leak-free connection, mitigating risk and improving environmental performance.
6. **Easy to use.** Retains the properties of HDPE, making them familiar and user-friendly.
## **Summary**
**MaxDR is the first high-pressure, large diameter fusible composite HDPE poly pipe**, opening the door to new possibilities for pipeline designers, builders and operators. MaxDR offers users in Oil & Gas, Industrial & Mining, Water & Wastewater and CO2 gathering and processing sectors a sustainable solution with the lowest total cost of ownership.
