The invention relates to the design of a multilayer reinforced polymeric pipe. The multilayer reinforced polymeric pipe comprises a polymeric base layer, at least one barrier layer, at least one reinforcing layer, an adhesive layer and a protective layer. The adhesive layer is made from a material which does not adhere to a material of the reinforcing layer and forms channels for the reversible movement of the fibers of the reinforcing layer. The reinforcing layer is made of high-strength and high-modular polymeric fibers, preferably aramid, polyester, or polyethylene fibers. The barrier layer is made of polar and nonpolar polymers. The protective layer is made of polyethylene of medium density. A system of pipes for transportation of water, preferably hot water in district heating and water supply networks, consisting of two or more multilayer reinforced polymeric pipes.

A multilayered motor vehicle pipeline, wherein the pipeline has at least two layers, preferably at least three layers of plastic. At least one surface of at least one layer connected to another layer is configured profiled, wherein the profiling has maxima and minima. The height difference h between the maxima and the minima directly adjacent to the maxima is between 1 and 100 m.

A multi-layered pipe including a first polyethylene layer including raised temperature (PE-RT) resistance forming a longitudinal axis of the pipe, an ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) layer disposed around the first PE-RT layer, a second PE-RT layer disposed around the UHMWPE layer, and, optionally, at least one bonding layer disposed between at least one of the respective first or second PE-RT layers and the UHMWPE layer. At least one of the layers includes a nanoclay material for reducing gas transport through the layers.

A duct includes a polymeric duct wall that circumscribes a fluid-conveyance passage. The polymeric duct wall includes, relative to the fluid-conveyance passage, an inner surface and an outer surface. An electrically conductive coating is disposed on at least one of the outer surface and the inner surface.

A multilayer tube for fluid transportation may include, from an interior of the multilayer tube to an exterior of the multilayer tube: an inner layer including at least one polyamide in admixture with at least one elastomer; an adhesive layer; and/or a layer including at least one polyolefin. In a system for transporting fluids at medium pressure, a plurality of multilayer tubes may be joined together by electro-soldered joints formed by the at least one polyamide. A multilayer tube may be used for transporting hydrocarbons within an extraction site, from the extraction site to a refinery, or within the extraction site and from the extraction site to the refinery. A multilayer tube may be used for transporting water, distributing the water, or transporting and distributing the water.

A multilayer tube is provided for use in with transmission oil or heating and cooling fluid applications in motor vehicles. The multilayer tube has an outer layer comprising an aliphatic or an aromatic polyamide to provide protection from the outside environment; a middle layer of a lower cost material that comprises from 20-90% of the thickness of the tube materials; and an inner layer that has excellent resistance to transmission oil or glycol coolant and temperature.

The present invention is directed to continuous fiber-reinforced composites having a matrix of modified PVDF. The composite may be a semifinished product or a product or finished part manufactured therefrom. A product according to the invention is pelletized long-fiber material, while a finished part according to the invention is especially a thermoplastic composite pipe.

According to the present invention, a waste tube with component layers is provided. An inner layer resisting at least one waste material system chemical and an outer composite wrapping layer each runs along the length of the waste tube. The impact zones of the waste tubes, defined by bends, tapers or junctions incorporated in the tube, are reinforced by an elastomeric barrier layer over an outer face of the inner layer and an impact absorption layer over the elastomeric barrier layer, wrapped by the outer composite layer. In another aspect, a method of manufacturing the waste tube is provided where a preformed tubular liner for building the component layers functions as the inner layer in the waste tube.

One aspect of the invention provides a composite tube including: an inner plastic tube; an aluminum layer circumferentially surrounding the inner plastic tube; and an outer plastic layer circumferentially surrounding the aluminum layer. The aluminum layer is an alloy selected from the group consisting of: AL 3004, AL 3005, AL 3105, AL 5052, AL 6061, and AL 8006. The aluminum layer has a thickness within a corresponding range disclosed for the alloy in Table 2. Another aspect of the invention provides: a composite tube including: an inner plastic tube; an aluminum layer circumferentially surrounding the inner plastic tube; and an outer plastic layer circumferentially surrounding the aluminum layer. The aluminum layer can be an alloy having 0.1% or greater magnesium by mass.

A multilayer tube for transporting fluid is disclosed. The multilayer tube includes a first layer including a polyolefin blend including a first polypropylene and a second polypropylene. The first polypropylene and second polypropylene copolymer have different and non-overlapping melt flow indices. The multilayer tube includes a second layer including a thermoplastic vulcanizate including a thermoplastic resin and an at least partially cured elastomer.
