  • Hydraulically efficient ribbed pipe and method of making thereof
    Patent number: 6006565
    Abstract: A pipe formed from a continuous, cold rolled, lock seam quality, sheet steel, having a spiral rib. The pipe may be protected by an abrasion or corrosion resistant coating. The pipe is normally used for storm drains, culverts, sewer lines or HVAC. A closed spiral rib formed in the pipe wall adds strength to the wall, while maintaining a smooth inner wall that promotes exceptionally good fluid flow. The pipe has a smooth interior surface with outwardly projecting structural ribs of helical configuration throughout the length of the pipe.
