  • Patent number: 5626801
    Abstract: A method is shown for lining a host pipe with a polyolefin liner having an outside diameter which is initially greater than the inside diameter of the host pipe. A length of the liner is cryogenically cooled to a supercooled state to reduce the outside diameter of the liner and to maintain the downsized dimensions of the liner while increasing the tensile strength to facilitate insertion of the liner into the host pipe.
