Abstract: A pipe section provided with a socket end part for accommodating a spigot end part of a second pipe section, the spigot end part having a sealing ring and the socket end part configured with an obliquely tapered part having areas of varying dimension for deforming the sealing ring to differing extent along the circumference of the sealing ring when the socket end part engages the spigot end part.

Abstract: A plastics infiltration block for infiltration or attenuation purposes is disclosed. The infiltration block has an essentially rectangular parallelepipedal body having pairs of opposed first, second and third faces. At least one inspection channel extends through the infiltration block and inspection channel openings are positioned in opposed third faces of the infiltration block. The area of each inspection channel opening is at least 10% of the size of the area of the third face. The infiltration block can include a single infiltration block element or multiple coupled infiltration block elements. The infiltration block element has an essentially rectangular parallelepipedal body. A grid of duct walls forming substantially parallel ducts extend between each first face and the one or more inspection channels of the infiltration block, and between each second face and the inspection channels of the infiltration block.

Abstract: An electrofusion coupling (93) for joining together two or more sections of pipe, said coupling comprising: (i) a substantially cylindrical coupling body having an outer surface and an inner surface, the inner surface being sized and shaped to form a clearance fit with the outer surface of the pipe regions to be joined; (ii) at least one electrical heating (94) element set on or in the inner surface of the coupling body; (iii) terminal means adapted to connect the electrical heating means to an electrical supply; characterized in that the terminal means does not project beyond the outer cylindrical surface of the coupling body once the welding process is complete.

Abstract: The invention relates to a container, especially a reusable container, comprising collapsible lateral walls (1, 3). The snap-in closure in the corners is configured by a respective pressure lever (4) that can be pressed inward and that interacts with a locating lug (12) that is configured on the lateral wall that is adjacent, arranged diagonally across thereto.

Abstract: With a pipe section provided with a socket end part (1) which is intended for accommodating a spigot end part (2) of a second pipe section, the exterior of the spigot end part is provided with a sealing ring (5), the interior of the socket end part (1) has a part (13) obliquely tapering towards the centre axis (12) of the socket end part for deforming the sealing ring (5) when the spigot end part (2) and an adjoining cylindrical part (14) are inserted into the socket end part (1). The obliquely tapering part (13) has at least two areas (15) distributed regularly over the circumference in which the angle of the obliquely tapering part (13) varies relative to the centre axis (12) of the socket end part in the circumferential direction.

Abstract: Apparatus for manufacturing a socket end (12) which is provided with a sealing ring (9).

Abstract: A method for producing a tube section from thermoplastic material, in which a tube section is extruded by means of an extruder which is provided with an extruder die having an inner core, which inner core defines an axial hollow space in the tube section, the tube section coming out of the extruder die downstream of the extruder die being internally cooled by means of an internal cooling member and externally cooled by means of an external cooling device. Immediately after the tube section leaves the extruder die, the internal cooling member brings about internal cooling of the tube. The external cooling device is positioned downstream of the internal cooling member, so that the external cooling of the tube section is brought about after the internal cooling.

Abstract: A method for forming an integral socket to a pipe made from biaxially oriented thermoplastic material is described. The pipe has a pipe body and is provided, at one or both ends, with an integral socket. The biaxially oriented thermoplastic pipe is subjected to a socket-forming operation comprising the steps of fixing both axial ends of the unheated end part of the pipe, heating the fixed end part to a suitable socket-forming temperature in one or more steps, and expanding the axially fixed end part with the aid of a fluid pressure in the interior of the end part and/or a vacuum on the outer side of the end part, which expansion may begin as early as during the heating of the end part.
