  • Method for attaching metallic flanges to thermal plastic ducts
    Patent number: 10350796
    Abstract: A method is provided for connecting a fitting to a reinforced thermoplastic duct including inserting a first end of the fitting having a plurality of barbs into an end of the duct. A clamp is installed around the duct. The duct is heated to a temperature greater than a glass transition temperature of a thermal plastic material used to form the duct. The duct is restructured to include a plurality of protrusions positioned between the plurality of barbs of the fitting.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 9, 2012
    Date of Patent: July 16, 2019
    Assignee: HAMILTON SUNDSTRAND CORPORATION
    Inventor: Gary R. Wysocki
  • Duct with electrically conductive coating
    Patent number: 9618145
    Abstract: A duct includes a polymeric duct wall that circumscribes a fluid-conveyance passage. The polymeric duct wall includes, relative to the fluid-conveyance passage, an inner surface and an outer surface. An electrically conductive coating is disposed on at least one of the outer surface and the inner surface.

  • SUCTION-BLOW-MOLDED AIRCRAFT DUCTING
    Publication number: 20140377487
    Abstract: A duct of an aircraft includes a hollow three-dimensional geometry shape that is formed of thermoplastic by suction-blow molding. The thermoplastic is filled or unfilled amorphous or semi-crystalline. More specifically, the thermoplastic includes reinforced polyetheretherketone (PEEK), reinforced polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), polyetherimide (PEI), or nylon. Also, a method of manufacturing an aircraft duct includes forming a hollow three-dimensional geometry shape of thermoplastic by suction-blow molding. The thermoplastic is filled or unfilled amorphous or semi-crystalline. More specifically, the thermoplastic includes reinforced PEEK, reinforced PPS, PEI, or nylon.
