An inspection system and method for scanning and recording defects in the surface of the smooth inner wall of dual wall corrugated plastic pipe during manufacture utilizing automated laser technology, in order to minimize potential disruptions in the manufacturing extrusion process and alleviate concerns as to improper formation of the inner wall. The inspection system includes conical laser pattern generator that passes through the dual wall corrugated pipe during the manufacturing process to complete 360 degree scan coverage of the surface of the inner smooth wall of the pipe. The inspection system further includes a set of cameras properly aligned to record comprehensive three dimensional coverage of the scanned image of the inner wall of the dual wall corrugated pipe. This inspection system and method has particular benefits in the manufacture of coilable dual wall corrugated plastic pipe, where the material make-up of the polymer melt used for the inner wall has been altered.

High flow capacity corrugated coilable dual wall plastic pipe having improved longitudinal flexibility and a bend radius sufficient to permit coiling and plowing of such pipe into the ground using automated installation equipment. The coilable dual wall pipe has an outer corrugated wall formed of a thermoplastic material such as high density polyethylene, and an inner smooth wall formed of a different more flexible and resilient thermo-bondable material that has an enhanced strain capacity and lower modulus of elasticity. The inner wall material also has enhanced mechanical properties which generally improve processing and help prevent excessive drag and tearing of the liner material during the manufacturing process. Suitable material blends for the inner wall incorporating a thermoplastic elastomer additive in combination with a thermoplastic material have proven suitable in providing the required longitudinal flexibility and pipe bend radius to permit the desired pipe coiling and plow installation without failure.

The disclosure provides a runner protection tube for steel casting and a manufacturing method thereof. The runner protection tube for steel casting is made of a slurry composition for forming the runner protection tube for steel casting, the slurry composition includes organic fibers, inorganic fibers, thermosetting resins, thermoplastic resins, inorganic particles, inorganic binders, water, a lubricating oil and a hydrating agent.

A coextrusion profile for a window and/or door part, or a secondary profile to be attached to a window and/or door part, may include a hollow profile forming an outer side of the coextrusion profile and a hollow profile wall made of plastic and a foam core made of plastic foamed within the hollow profile. The window and/or door part may include a window and/or door frame part, a window and/or door sash part, such as a sliding window or a sliding door.

Provided is an extrusion molding apparatus capable of producing a multi tube with which an outer shape of a cross section is close to a perfect circle. The multi-lumen tube extrusion molding apparatus includes a resin supplying portion, a die that has an extrusion port at a lower end portion and molds the multi-lumen tube as the resin supplied from the resin supplying portion is extruded vertically downward, and an outer surface molding apparatus that molds an outer surface of the extruded tube. In a state in which the resin is supplied from the resin supplying portion to the die, the outer surface molding apparatus depressurizes a molding space of circular cylindrical shape in a state in which the extruded tube is contained in the molding space to mold an outer surface of the contained multi-lumen tube to a circular cylindrical shape.
