Abstract

A sealing compression ring apparatus couplable to a liner and a pipe component has an annular body and a bore, with a first side including a raised outer edge portion, a recessed annular portion between the raised outer edge portion and the bore, and an o-ring gland encircling the bore on the recessed annular portion. A pipe assembly has a base pipe including a flange, a liner extending axially within the base pipe and extending radially out and over a portion of the flange to define a liner flange, an opposite flange surface, and a sealing compression ring apparatus compressed between the flange and the opposite flange surface, and an o-ring positioned in the o-ring gland of the ring.

Abstract

A method for forming a pipe end for a pipe having an inner surface lined with a liner, the method includes: cutting the pipe at an axial location to provide a first end having an initial inner diameter defined by an inner surface of the pipe; cutting back the pipe from the first end to define a receded first end and to provide an exposed length of the liner beyond the receded first end; and radially expanding a length of the pipe from the receded first end to form an upset, bell end where an inner diameter of the upset, bell end is larger than the initial diameter, thereby defining an annulus between the inner surface of the pipe and the liner.

CA 02864/62 2014-08-15WO 2013/120201 PCT/CA2013/050114PIPE, PIPE CONNECTION AND PIPELINE SYSTEM FIELD OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention relates to a pipeline system for conveying fluids and, in particular, to a pipe connection assembly, equipment and methods.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONPipelines are needed for conveying fluids such as water, oil effluent, natural gas, carbon dioxide or mining slurries some of which may be pressurized.Thin walled metal pipes offer an advantage in terms of facilitated handling and reduced material costs, however, have proven difficult to connect in a reliable and efficient manner.It is desirable that the pipeline system be resistant to internal corrosion and/or abrasion that may shorten the useful life of the pipeline. Sometimes, the fluids transported within the pipeline may corrode or abrade metal pipe materials where many plastic materials exhibit superior resistance to these effects.It has become common to repair corroded or abraded pipelines by pulling significant lengths of a plastic liner through an existing metal pipe that is already installed and has been in service. New pipeline systems can also be constructed in the same manner.CA 3 0 4 0 1 63 2 0 1 9-0 4-1 2
