Title:
CURED-IN-PLACE LINER MATERIAL AND METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR MANUFACTURE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/033297
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A liner tube (200) for repairing existing pipes is provided. The liner tube is sufficient flexible to lie substantially flat under its own weight thereby- defining an upper portion and a lower portion. The liner tube includes an inner layer (205), an outer layer (230) disposed around the inner layer, a first intermediate layer (210) disposed between the inner layer and the outer layer, the first intermediate layer being wrapped around the inner layer to overlap itself and define a first overlap portion in the upper portion, and a second intermediate layer (215) disposed between the first intermediate layer and the outer layer, the second intermediate layer being wrapped around the first intermediate layer to overlap itself and define a second overlap portion in the lower portion. The first and second intermediate layers (210, 215) include a porous material and the inner layer (205) includes material substantially impermeable to liquids. Systems used to manufacture the liner tube are also provided. These systems include a stringer apparatus for inserting a string into a spool of flexible tubing, an assembler apparatus for folding the layers of the liner tube and an impregnator apparatus for impregnating intermediate layers of the liner tube with resin.
