Pipe walls materials used

Rehabilitation of pipes by CIPP, with thermoset polyester resins and polyester felt, usually requires satisfying predetermined specificalions for both materials and installation. With CIPP, a tubular hner is saturated with a resin, which is then inserted into the damaged pipe and cured via heat and/or ambient or ultra violet light. The pipe defect is initially identified and located, usually by means of a closed circuit television survey or PIG. The resin saturated liner is then inserted into the pipe and inflated against the wall of the pipe by air or water pressure. The resin cures and hardens into a smooth structure and a new composite pipe is created within the old pipe. The materials used to manufacture the components are chosen to suit the function of the repaired pipeline. The combination of the hner, resin, the method of installation and the chosen curing method will determine the overall quality of the end product. 

Pipe-Wall Thickness. Once the design pressure and temperature have been established and the pipe material and size selected, the wall thickness is calculated using the appropriate section of the code. In rare cases, a thin pipe must be made thicker to withstand handling. Occasionally the thickness is affected by external loads or vibrations. All codes prescribe essentially the same design formula for metallic hoUow circular cylinders under internal pressure ... 

A 200 mm diameter plastic pipe is to be subjected to an internal pressure of 0.5 MN/m for 3 years. If the creep rupture behaviour of the material is as shown in Fig. 3.10, calculate a suitable wall thickness for Ae pipe. You should use a safety factor of 1.5. 

Carbon steel is not normally a suitable piping material for concentrated sulfuric acid because of high corrosion rates in flowing acid. However, where temperatures and flow rates are low, heavy wall steel pipe is sometimes used for transferring product acid. 

The basic character of non-fluidized gas-particle flow is the existence of contact pressure (or stress) among particles and between particles and the pipe wall. Both theoretical analyses and experimental results (Terzaghi, 1954 Johanson and Jenike, 1972 Li and Kwauk, 1989) showed that the pressure of the interstitial fluid in particulate material neither compresses nor increases the shear resistance of the particulate material. After Walker (1966) and Walters (1973), Li and Kwauk (1989) analyzed the stresses in a vertical pneumatic moving-bed transport tube by using the stress theory of particulate media mechanics and Mohr circles, shown in Figs. 19 and 20, and gave the following stress ratios at any point in the flow field ... 

Several sections of this chapter discuss building materials (hoses and pipes, pavement, roofing, sealants, siding, and waterproofing). Here, we focus on wall materials and insulation in various extruded and molded profiles. Numerous polymers are used for these two applications. They include polystyrene, phenolic resin, polyvinylchloride, and polyurethanes for insulation purposes and polyvinylchloride, polyurethanes, and polyesters for wall systems and structural elements. The major methods of production include molding, extrusion, and pultrusion.
