  • Publication number: 20220082196
    Abstract: An expandable pipe for restoring a damaged pipe is provided. The expandable pipe includes a liner formed of thermoplastic polyurethane, and grout material applied to the exterior surface of the liner. The exterior surface includes a plurality of flared tips and grooves, and each groove is located between adjacent flared tips. The grout material is disposed on the flared tips and in the grooves of the liner. The method used to restore the damaged pipe includes clamping the liner with the grout material on a puller-sealer fixture having a U-shaped cross-section to prevent debris from entering the interior of the liner, and pulling the puller-sealer fixture and liner through the damaged pipe. The grout material expands in volume upon exposure to moisture, ultra violet radiation, heat, and/or ultrasonics, and fills cracks or other imperfections and voids along the interior surface of the conduit, caused by corrosion, erosion, or other circumstances.

  • Patent number: 5487457
    Abstract: A pressure activated rotary clutch includes a sealed unit including a casing and a cover mounted to and rotatable about a rotating shaft. The unit includes a circumferentially extending outer wall and a circumferentially extending inner wall having an outwardly extending lobe having major and minor dimensions from said shaft and also a fluid passageway having an inlet on one side of said minor dimension and an outlet on the other side of said minor dimension. A flow control valve is disposed in the fluid passageway for controlling fluid flow through the passageway. A flow control valve actuator in communication with the flow control valve operates the flow control valve. A rotor fixed to the rotating shaft includes at least one vane for moving or pumping fluid through the fluid passageway when it is open and the shaft is rotated. The unit rotates independently of the shaft and rotor when the passageway is unrestricted.
