Abstract: Coolant containment apparatus for a rolling mill in which aqueous coolant liquid is sprayed onto the upper and lower work roll surfaces by upper and lower spray heads only on the exit side of the mill, including an enclosure maintained at subatmospheric pressure and surrounding the upper spray head and adjacent upper work roll and backup roll surfaces, upper and lower air dam members extending along the edges of the enclosure above and below the spray head to define narrow air gaps at the roll surfaces, slippers connected to ends of the dam members and in rubbing contact with the rolls to maintain the gap widths constant, and seal members mounted on the roll supports at the ends of the mill and cooperating with the enclosure to confine the enclosure interior.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for producing heat weldable, thermoplastic, tubular pipe fittings for use with heat weldable piping or tubing using a core in a molding machine having at least one pivoted segment collapsible inwardly of the core, each segment bearing radial projections to facilitate winding a heater wire and/or to receive a terminal post during the molding operation.

Abstract: Welding muffs for joining thermoplastic pipes are molded using a core in which are placed terminals supported by plastic posts which may be removable and/or frangible so that when the cores are withdrawn the plastic posts do not prevent withdrawal.
