A double-walled tube section for constructing a double-walled tube segment suitable for underpressure applications such as an evacuated tube transport system including elongated curved outer shell parts, interlayer shell parts and an inner wall. The elongated curved outer shell parts form the outer wall of the double-walled tube segment. The interlayer shell parts are of thin sheet and include a rectanqular portion having short edges and long edges and a flange on at least one of the short edges.

A tubular includes a carbon steel main body defining a first flow passage. The carbon steel main body includes a first end and a second end. The carbon steel main body includes a beveled edge at the first end of the carbon steel main body. A corrosion resistant pup defines a second flow passage in-line with the first flow passage. The corrosion resistant pup includes a substantially same inner diameter and outer diameter as the carbon steel main body. The corrosion resistant pup includes a first end and a second end. The corrosion resistant pup includes a first beveled edge at the first end. The corrosion resistant pup is connected to the carbon steel main body by a weld along the beveled edge of the carbon steel main body and the beveled edge of the corrosion resistant pup.

An article and method for forming a coated metal pipe for use as an automotive fluid transport tube including a copper plated carbon steel tubing formed into a circular cross sectional profile. At least one intermediate layer including any of a corrosion inhibiting zinc/aluminum alloy, electroplated zinc or hot dip aluminum is applied over said tubing. One or more outer polymer or copolymer layers are applied over the intermediate layer, with the outer layer or multi-layers compounded with a graphene or graphene oxide powder.

A pipe for transporting gas, notably carbon dioxide, includes at least one tubular element, tubular element consisting of a juxtaposition of concentric layers including, from inside to outside, at least one sealing layer, a wall including a prestressed concrete layer and at least one circumferential mechanical reinforcement layer. Furthermore, the concrete making up prestressed concrete layer is selected from among the ultra-high performance fibre-reinforced concretes (UHPFRC).

A pipe assembly includes a pipe shell, a liner, and one or more anchor members. The pipe shell defines an inner wall. The liner lines the inner wall of the pipe shell and defines an inner wall of the pipe assembly. The anchor member is attached to the pipe shell, extends from the inner wall of the pipe shell, and is embedded within the liner. The anchor member may help to resist localized delamination of the liner from the pipe shell, and propagation of any localized delamination of the liner from the pipe shell. A related method is also provided for forming the pipe assembly.

A connector for use in an ultra-high vacuum system is disclosed herein. The connector has a metal conduit section with a first hardness, a metal fitting with a second hardness greater than the first hardness of the conduit section, and a metallic reaction-inhibiting barrier positioned between the conduit section and the fitting to sealingly attach the fitting to the conduit section. Oxide formation on the surface of the metal conduit section proximal to the reaction-inhibiting barrier is prevented either mechanically or via treatment with an oxide inhibitor. The reaction-inhibiting barrier is selected from a group of metals that will substantially inhibit metallic and chemical interaction between the conduit section and the fitting under ultra-high vacuum, temperature cycling, and reactive chemical conditions.
