Pipe Lining Apparatus Transport Assemblies
A pipe lining apparatus transport assembly having one or more positioning mechanisms for maintaining the orbiting operational components of the pipe lining apparatus in a concentric relationship with the pipe, the positioning mechanisms including alone or in combination extension/retraction mechanisms, track set rotational mechanisms, articulating joint mechanisms and/or linear translation mechanisms.
Pipe Lining Apparatus Material Casting Assembly
A material casting assembly for a pipe lining apparatus, the assembly having a housing mounted onto an extension/retraction arm and containing an impingement block controlled by an impingement valve, and a static auger bounded by a rotating cylinder which defines a mixing path to an extrusion chamber. The rotating cylinder has exit ports through which lining material is expelled from the extrusion chamber onto a pipe wall.
Pipe Lining Apparatus Umbilical Supply Train
A pipe lining apparatus umbilical supply train system having a pipe lining apparatus adapted to apply lining material to the interior of a pipe, a plurality of lining material supply tanks adapted to contain lining material; and an umbilical member connecting the lining material supply tanks to each other and to the pipe lining apparatus, whereby lining material retained within the lining material supply tanks is delivered through the umbilical member to the pipe lining apparatus.
Processes for coating the interior surfaces of nonmetal materials
Methods and systems for cleaning, coating and sealing leaks in existing nonmetal pipes, in a single operation. A nonmetal piping system can be cleaned in one pass by dry particulates forced and pulled by air throughout the piping system by a generator and a vacuum. Nonmetal pipes with nonmetal fittings or nonmetal pipes with metal fittings or nonmetal pipes with a combination of metal and nonmetal fittings can be protected from wear by water erosion and rupturing, extending the life of pipes made of a nonmetal material selected from at least one of plastics, PVC (polyvinyl chloride), composite materials, or polybutylene. Coatings can be applied to nonmetal pipes having diameters up to approximately 6. Leak sealants of at least approximately 4 mils thick can cover insides of nonmetal pipes, and can include novel mixtures of fillers and epoxy materials, and viscosity levels. A positive pressure can be maintained within the nonmetal pipes during applications. Piping systems can be returned to service within approximately 96 hours.
Processes for coating the interior surfaces of nonmetal pipes
Methods and systems for providing cleaning and providing barrier coatings to interior wall surfaces of small diameter nonmetal and composite piping systems in buildings, swimming pools, underground pipes, in-slab piping systems, piping under driveways and various liquid transmission lines. An entire piping system can be cleaned in one single pass by dry particulates forced by air throughout the building piping system by an external generator, and the entire piping system can be coated in one single pass by a machine connected exterior to the piping system. Small pipes can be protected by the effects of water corrosion, erosion and electrolysis, extending the life of piping systems such as plastics, PVC (polyvinyl chloride), composite materials, polybutylene. Coatings can be applied to pipes having diameters of approximately up to approximately 6 so that entire piping systems such as potable water lines, natural gas lines, HVAC piping systems, drain lines, and fire sprinkler systems in single-family homes to apartments to high-rise hotel/resort facilities and office towers, apartment and condominium buildings and schools, can be cleaned and coated to pipes within existing walls. The coating forms at least a 4 mils or greater covering inside of pipes. Buildings can return to service within approximately 24 to approximately 96 hours.
