  • Pressure Equalization in Composite Pipes
    Publication number: 20220381375
    Abstract: A flexible polymeric pipe for transportation of oil, gas or water, having an unbonded reinforcing intermediate layer between two polymeric layers. The pipe has a vent for the intermediate layer which allows venting of gas from the intermediate layer through to the exterior environment. The vent is generally impervious to water but pervious to air and gas.

  • Apparatus for applying heat shrinkable casings onto preinsulated pipe joints
    Patent number: 9821508
    Abstract: An automated heat shrink device, useful for forming a connection between two tubular sections having a polymeric outer surface jacket, for example, a connection between two sections of a district heating pipeline, and a method of use thereof. The device is configured such that it requires minimal clearance to either side of the pipeline when being used.

  • HEAT SHRINKABLE MULTILAYER SLEEVE
    Publication number: 20160257090
    Abstract: A three layer laminate wrap or sleeve for use in oil and gas pipeline applications. The wrap or sleeve comprises an outer, cross-linked polyolefin layer, an inner adhesive layer, and an intermediate layer comprising a non-cross- linked polyolefin. The intermediate layer permits the use of a thinner adhesive layer, resulting in lower costs overall.

  • Method of filling a casing
    Patent number: 9393723
    Abstract: Foam filling a cavity in a joint between insulated pipe lengths by wrapping a fiber reinforced plastic mold sheet around the cavity or applying a casing around the cavity, with a securing element supplied on the mold sheet to resist separating movements of the ends of the mold sheet or one or more flexible tensile members wrapped around the casing, to resist ballooning of the casing on expansion of a foam filling introduced into the mold or into the casing.
