A heat curable, circular knitted fabric includes reinforcing and meltable resin fibers that can be cured to form a more rigid material form. In one embodiment, the fabric includes a core spun yarn, wherein the core may be made from glass, carbon, basalt, aramid or metal. The wrap surrounding the core may include resin type fibers such as Poly(p-phenylene sulfide) PPS, Polyetherimide (PEI), Polyether ether ketone (PEEK), Polysulfone (PES), Polyphthalamide (PPA), nylon, polyester, or polypropylene.

A material for use in lining pipes includes inlay yarns that are interlinked by warp-knitted yarns. One set of inlay yarns extends in a machine direction, contributing to the fabric's strength in this direction. Two further sets of inlay yarns follow paths that step alternately between displacements to the left and right. This construction results in a series of short lengths of yarn aligned to provide the fabric with cross-directional strength. The inlay layers are loosely held, allowing them to slide relative to each other and the straight inlay yarns may move apart to a small degree. The result is a strong, flexible fabric that retains sufficient expansion for use in a pull-in-place liner.

A method of preparing a multilayered pipe-lining fabric involves repeated steps of layering flat sheets above and below a flattened carrier tube, bonding the sheets, then flattening the structure along fold lines circumferentially rotated from the first. Longer length and larger diameter tubular structures may be fabricated by this method, particularly heavier fabrics, such as those incorporating glass fibres.

A pipe lining apparatus having a settable, resin-impregnated reinforcement filament that is helically wound onto the inner surface of a pipe or pipe lining by an inverted filament winding apparatus, the apparatus having multiple spools and applicator arms to retain and apply the filament. The applicator arms may be aligned circumferentially or axially.
