Abstract: A nozzle head NH of a plasma processing apparatus comprises an annular inner holder 3, an annular inner electrode 11 surrounding this holder 3, an annular outer electrode 21 surrounding this electrode 11, and an annular outer holder 4 surrounding this electrode 21. The inner holder 3 is provided with a plurality of bolts 7 spacedly arranged in the peripheral direction and adapted to push the inner electrode 11 radially outwardly. The outer holder 4 is provided with a plurality of bolts 8 spacedly arranged in the peripheral direction and adapted to push the outer electrode 21 radially inwardly. Owing to this arrangement, the operation for disassembling, assembling and centering the annular electrodes 11, 21 can be carried out with ease.

Abstract: A high-pressure composite pipe includes a pipe-shaped inner layer made of a synthetic resin, and a reinforcing layer made of a stretched polyolefin resin sheet and wound on an external circumferential surface of the inner layer, with a winding direction of the reinforcing layer being oriented at a predetermined angle relative to an axis of the pipe, and a method for joining high-pressure composite pipes each including a pipe-shaped inner layer made of a synthetic resin, a reinforcing layer made of a stretched polyolefin resin sheet and wound on an external circumferential surface of the inner layer, and an outer layer made of a synthetic resin and laminated on the reinforcing layer.

Abstract: A high-pressure composite pipe of the present invention comprises an inner layer pipe made of a synthetic resin, and a reinforcing layer formed by spirally winding a stretched polyolefin resin sheet on an external circumferential surface of the inner layer pipe. The synthetic resin for the inner layer pipe or a heat-sealable resin is filled into a gap defined by the stretched polyolefin resin sheet, thereby avoiding penetration of water from a cut surface of the pipe.

Abstract: As the first object, the present invention intends to provide high-pressure composite pipes which show remarkable pressure resistance and optimum applicability in various uses and which can be economically manufactured in a light weight. As the second object, the present invention intends to provide a joining method which is capable of firmly joining the high-pressure composite pipes in a simple operation, firmly joining the high-pressure composite pipes by reinforcing the joint strength at the butt-fused area, and making a joint area adjustable to strain of the high-pressure composite pipes. To achieve these objects, a high-pressure composite pipe of the present invention comprises a pipe-shaped inner layer made of a synthetic resin, a reinforcing layer made of a stretched polyolefin resin sheet and wound on an external circumferential surface of the inner layer, and an outer layer made of a synthetic resin and disposed on an external circumferential surface of the reinforcing layer.

Between the inner layer and the reinforcing layer and between the outer layer and the reinforcing layer, adhesion layers having affinity to these layers are interposed.
