Publication number: 20230324279Abstract: A corrosion detection system includes a wire disposed in a groove extending circumferentially around an exterior surface of a pipe, the pipe comprising a pipe wall and a pipe liner that lines an inside surface of the pipe wall. The corrosion detection system also includes a sensor electrically coupled to the wire. The sensor is configured to generate a voltage in the wire, and detect a change in a property of the wire caused by exposure of the wire to a corrosive fluid that is present within the pipe but outside the pipe liner.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 6, 2023Publication date: October 12, 2023Inventors: Raj Kishore Mishra, David Yanik, Ashutosh Singh, Bradley Allen

Patent number: 10145407Abstract: A wave washer includes an annular member surrounding an opening arranged to receive a pipe axially therethrough, the annular member having a plurality circumferentially spaced holes formed therein. The wave washer also has associated with it at least one spring portion protruding axially from the annular member between two of the holes. The wave washer can be used in a pipe joint to join a first pipe and a second pipe, each having a pipe end having a pipe flange and an adjacent sealing flange. The wave washer is positioned against an inner side of the pipe flange of the first pipe. The wave washer and the flanges of the first and second pipes are fastened based on the deflection of the annular member of the wave washer.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2013Date of Patent: December 4, 2018Assignee: CRANE RESISTOFLEXInventors: Matthew Moose, Christopher Hock, Ron Moffitt, Landon Grindstaff, Dan Rink, Jesse Satterfield, David Yanik

Publication number: 20120216902Abstract: A hose assembly and a method of manufacturing a hose assembly are provided. The method includes providing an inner corrugated lining composed of a polymeric material, providing an outer hose assembly having a length that exceeds the target length and configured to receive the inner corrugated lining therethrough, concurrently drawing the inner lining through a reducing die and the outer hose assembly, and expanding the inner lining within the outer hose assembly to form an interference fit at least at ends of the inner lining and outer carcass. The outer hose assembly length is sufficient to compress to the target length upon the expansion of the inner lining.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2011Publication date: August 30, 2012Applicant: CRANE CHEMPHARMA RESISTOFLEXInventors: David Yanik, Bruce Graning, Landon Grindstaff

Publication number: 20110006515Abstract: A method of making a hose is provided that includes providing a fitting configured to receive a hose liner therethrough and configured to receive a material configured to be bonded to the hose liner. The method includes receiving the material in the fitting, drawing the hose liner through the fitting, and bonding the material to the hose liner such that the hose liner and material are secured to an outer face of the fitting.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 8, 2010Publication date: January 13, 2011Applicant: CRANE CHEMPHARMA RESISTOFLEXInventors: David Yanik, Bruce Graning

Patent number: 5494400Abstract: Apparatus for transporting and stacking battery plates in which pasted battery plates are delivered from a drying oven to a stacking station by an entry conveyor. In the stacking station, a stack of battery plates builds up on a stacking elevator which then deposits the stack on a take-off conveyor. The take-off conveyor indexes, moving the stack of battery plates out of the stacking station to make room for the next stack. A change elevator moves into the stacking station to handle incoming battery plates while the stacking elevator deposits a stack on the take-off conveyor and the take-off conveyor indexes to remove the stack. A partial stack of battery plates accumulates on the change elevator. When the previous stack has been removed from the stacking station, the partial stack is transferred from the change elevator to the stacking elevator, a full stack builds up on the stacking elevator and the cycle repeats.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 1994Date of Patent: February 27, 1996Assignee: Wirtz Manufacturing Co., Inc.Inventors: Roel Mendoza, Robert R. Rader, David Yanik

Patent number: 5099982Abstract: Apparatus for piling in stacks a plurality of successive individual battery plates moving at a high rate of speed. Synchronized plates are transferred to a carrier conveyor which advances them into work stations with the leading edge of each plate raised generally vertically above its trailing edge. Sequentially in one and another of the stations, each plate is rapidly stopped so that a plurality of succeeding synchronized plates are each disengaged from the carrier and deposited in a stack on an elevator underlying each station. The elevator is retracted as each plate is deposited so that the next plate can be received on the stack. Periodically, the depositing of plates is switched from one station to another and stacks of plates are removed from the elevator associated with each station so that another stack can be formed on the elevator.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 1990Date of Patent: March 31, 1992Assignee: Wirtz Manufacturing Company, Inc.Inventors: John W. Wirtz, David Yanik, Robert R. Rader, Roel Mendoza, Dennis E. Essig

Patent number: 4606383Abstract: A battery grid pasting machine has an endless steel conveyor belt for advancing grids beneath a paste hopper. The lower end of the hopper is closed by an orifice plate. The top run of the belt is supported by a vertically adjustable roller directly beneath an orifice slot in the orifice plate. A guide assembly is provided for advancing the grids in a downwardly inclined position toward the underside of the hopper. The hopper and the belt conveyor assembly are supported from one side of the machine in cantilever fashion which enables the hopper and the endless belt to be removed and replaced with a minimum dismantling of components of the machine.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 1985Date of Patent: August 19, 1986Assignee: Wirtz Manufacturing Company, Inc.Inventor: David Yanik

Patent number: 4583437Abstract: A machine for cutting a continuous web into successive individual battery plates has a rigid frame on which a cylindrical rotary anvil is journalled. A rotary knife drum is fixed on a shaft journalled on a pair of laterally spaced upright plates mounted for vertical sliding movement on the frame of the machine. A toggle linkage is utilized to shift the drum mounting plates vertically between operative and inoperative positions. The knife drum shaft is journalled on one of the mounting plates such that the plate can be disengaged from the shaft and tilted laterally outwardly by simply removing a nut threaded on the end of the shaft.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 1984Date of Patent: April 22, 1986Inventors: Robert R.
