  • Patent number: 8857860
    Abstract: A corrosion resistant coupling assembly for two glass-lined, premium threaded pipe joints, the coupling assembly having opposed liner end wedge flanges that engage and trap a compressible, reinforced polymeric ring disposed between them, wherein the compressible ring has a wedge-shaped cross-section with oppositely facing, oppositely inclined side surfaces, so that each oppositely inclined side surface contacts and abuts against an oppositely disposed, cooperatively inclined surface of a liner end wedge flange to provide a corrosion-resistant barrier between the two pipe joints when the pin end and the box end are threadedly engaged and tightened to compress the polymeric ring.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6349748
    Abstract: An insulated tubing is disclosed having a liner, a pipe surrounding the liner defining an annulus between the pipe and the liner, a plurality of sets of spacers, and an insulating material located between the liner and pipe, substantially filling the annulus. The spacers within a set of spacers are spaced apart from each other around the circumference of the liner and each set of spacers is spaced apart from each other set along the length of the liner. A method for producing the insulated tubing is also disclosed.
