Abstract:
A ducting and associated method is provide in which the ducting includes a pipe with a thermoplastic or thermoplastic elastomeric layer and a reinforcing layer. The pipe has a curved or bent geometry and the reinforcing layer is made of a composite material based on reinforcement in intimate and direct contact with the subjacent layer. The geometry is obtained by hot forming the inner layer to give the geometry, and the reinforcement is either impregnated with a thermosetting matrix to form a thermosetting composite, or reinforcing fibers are intermixed with thermoplastic fibers or powders, or impregnated with a plastic polymeric coating that is curable chemically. Alternatively, the inner layer is first covered with the reinforcing layer in which the reinforcement includes reinforcing fibers intermixed with a thermoplastic material in the form of fibers, film or powder is blow-molded to give the pipe its final geometry.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a pipe comprising a polyolefin composition with low migration of the used additives and its decomposition products, especially phenolics, out of the composition, at the same time showing good pressure testing performance.
Abstract:
A conveying pipe part (2) of a pneumatic material conveying system, more particularly of a conveying system for wastes, which conveying pipe part comprises a wall, which is formed from at least two layers, at least the first one of which is a plastic material layer (12) and extends to the outer surface of the pipe part (2). The plastic material layer (12) is of plastic material or of plastic composite material, and that the wall of the pipe part (2) comprises a second layer, a reinforcement part (8), which reinforcement part is preferably a tubular part, and arranged in the wall of the pipe part (2) at a distance inwards from the outer surface.
Abstract:
A co-extruded multi-layer plastic pipe and method of manufacture are disclosed in which a first extruder melts and extrudes a first plastic material into the outer annulus of a coaxial extrusion die to form an outer pipe layer, and a second extruder melts and extrudes a highly oxidation-resistant plastic material into the inner annulus of said coaxial extrusion die under a blanket of inert gas to create an inner pipe layer, whereby the outer and inner pipe layers are fused together under the protection of the inert gas blanket which prevents premature degradation of the oxidation-resistant inner layer until the finished extruded pipe has cooled and solidified.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a pipe comprising a layer made of a multimodal polyethylene composition comprising a polyethylene base resin which comprises an ethylene copolymer (A) and an ethylene copolymer (B) wherein the ethylene copolymer (A) has a lower weight average molecular weight then the ethylene copolymer (B).
Abstract:
A multi-layer tube (MLT) to inhibit transmission of water vapor and for flame resistance greater than UL-94 HB includes an inner layer having a melt-extrudable polymeric material including a fluoropolymer and at least one additional layer positioned radially outward of the inner layer and including a flame resistant melt-extrudable polymeric material configured to minimize oxygen permeation. Additional layers may be configured to provide flexibility, oxygen and/or nitrogen barriers, thermal insulation, non-reactive materials, transparency, translucency, structural reinforcement, thermal and/or electrical conductivity, and/or dissipative properties. The MLT may be encased in a bundle cover with another tube element and/or electrically conductive element to form a tube bundle. A method for connecting a MLT to a fluid supply system includes positioning an end of the MLT in proximate contact with a connector interface and joining the MLT to the interface to form a hermetic seal or a low water vapor transmission seal.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a tube or molded tube element for receiving, storing or guiding air, containing at least a percentage of a chlorine-containing polymer material, and further containing at least one biocidally active component. The invention is characterized in that the polymer material is stabilized by a composition which contains at least one calcium compound.
Abstract:
An improved geothermal system for heating and cooling a building includes a fluid loop installed in the ground with opposite ends connected to a heat pump or other heat exchanger. The fluid loop comprises a plastic pipe embedded with heat transfer particles. The pipe is a thermoplastic or thermoset elastomer modified polymer having a modulus of elasticity less than 200,000 psi.
Abstract:
A structure has an inner, load bearing member and a surrounding, concentric over-wrap. The inner member is composed of a carbon composite and the over-wrap is composed of a non-carbon composite. The inner member has a negative coefficient of thermal expansion and the over-wrap has a positive coefficient of thermal expansion that is an order of magnitude greater than that of the inner member. When subjected to cryogenic temperatures, the over-wrap will shrink and apply a compressive force against the inner member, to resist the creation of microcracks in the inner member.
Abstract:
