Lining of pipes with flaring of liner ends

A lined pipe is produced by insertion of a liner followed by automatic and simultaneous flaring of both ends of the liner. A heated die presses the liner at each end to an intermediate stage. A final flaring die 85 completes the flare. This die remains in position and has a conduit 87 for injection...

Zusammenfassung:A lined pipe is produced by insertion of a liner followed by automatic and simultaneous flaring of both ends of the liner. A heated die presses the liner at each end to an intermediate stage. A final flaring die 85 completes the flare. This die remains in position and has a conduit 87 for injection of fluid under pressure into the liner at one end and control of pressure at the other end so that a pressure test is performed. There is an excellent seal with the inner surface of the liner to perform the pressure test because the dies are used in-situ. Production efficiency is improved because both ends are formed simultaneously and the pressure test is performed without the need to either move the pipe assembly to a different workstation or even to move a head within an existing workstation.
