Abstract

Self-propelled, self-powered, propulsion devices as part of pipe lining system adapted to create an internal liner member on a pipe or other tubular structure, the system being the combination of a sprayer apparatus, an umbilical member connected to the sprayer apparatus, wherein the umbilical member supplies no power or communications to the propulsion devices, and a plurality of propulsion devices mounted externally onto the umbilical member in a removable manner. The spraying apparatus and propulsion devices are independently powered and controlled such that each may be accelerated or decelerated as required to maintain the sprayer apparatus at a constant speed during the application process.

Abstract

A pipe lining having at least two material layers, a first elastomeric layer spray applied directly to the inside of a pipe which acts as a hydrophobic, ductile membrane, and a second rigid layer is spray applied to the first layer prior to complete curing of the first layer. One or more additional layers may be applied to the second layer to provide additional abrasion, erosion or chemical resistance to the second layer. An intermediate reinforcing layer may be disposed between the first and second layers. The first layer cures into a closed cell elastomeric foam, such that stress and other forces are not passed from the pipe to the rigid second layer.

Abstract

A method and device for measuring the thickness of a liner applied onto the inner wall of a pipe, the device comprising a sprayer assembly adapted to deposit a polymer resin onto the inner wall of a pipe to create a liner upon curing, the sprayer assembly being moved through the pipe. The sprayer assembly has a leading sensor assembly that measures the inner diameter of the pipe and trailing sensor assembly that measures the inner diameter of the liner. The trailing sensor assembly has a housing with windows through which sensor devices take readings, and a transparent film is disposed across the windows to protect the sensors from occluding contamination. The transparent film is advanced as the exposed portion of the film becomes excessively contaminated.

Abstract

A pipe lining having at least two material layers, a first elastomeric layer spray applied directly to the inside of a pipe which acts as a hydrophobic, ductile membrane, and a second rigid layer is spray applied to the first layer prior to complete curing of the first layer. One or more additional layers may be applied to the second layer to provide additional abrasion, erosion or chemical resistance to the second layer. An intermediate reinforcing layer may be disposed between the first and second layers. The first layer cures into a closed cell elastomeric foam, such that stress and other forces are not passed from the pipe to the rigid second layer.
