An internally insulated rigid exhaust system conduit and method for making the same are provided. The conduit includes an outer rigid tube, a generally flexible inner portion positioned within the outer tube and an insulation layer positioned therebetween. The conduit may include one or more bends or curves. Due to the flexibility of the inner portion and insulation, a gap defined between the inner portion and outer tube may be generally uniform in width even after the bending of the outer tube. During the manufacturing process, the inner portion is wrapped with a blanket or sleeve of insulation material to form a wrapped subassembly and then inserted into the outer tube. The insertion of the wrapped subassembly may occur either before or after a bending of the outer tube. The insulation may also be blown into the gap defined between the inner portion and outer tube.

A thermally insulating undersea junction pipe providing a junction between two thermally insulating undersea pipe portions. The junction pipe having a rigid bent inner pipe and presenting a radius of curvature that is three to ten times its outside diameter and coated in a thermally insulating material. The junction pipe having an outer jacket surrounding the inner pipe, the jacket being made of flexible or semirigid material matching the bent shape of the inner pipe in coaxial manner The tubular wall of the outer jacket including structural reinforcing elements of annular or helical shape suitable for enabling the tubular wall of the outer jacket to be bent while keeping its cross-section substantially uniform. A quasi incompressible thermally insulating material in the form of a gel is disposed to completely filling the annular space between the inner pipe and the outer jacket.

A one-piece shaped aluminum or stainless steel half fitting for an insulated pipe. The method may include cutting a predetermined sized blank from material stock. A top and a corresponding bottom die may be installed into a press along with a matching press plate. The predetermined sized blank may then be inserted onto the press plate and aligned with locating marks on the press plate. Once the blank is installed properly into the press, the method may further include cooperatively bringing the top and bottom dies together to press the blank into a specifically shaped half fitting. When pressed, excess flange material may be created along the perimeter of the fitting shape and excess end portion material is created at end portions of the fitting shape. The top die may then be separated from said bottom die and the shaped half fitting may then be removed from the press. The method may further include trimming the excess flange material and excess end portion material from the shaped half fitting.

A half elbow used with a second similar half elbow clads insulation or other structures about a bend. Each half elbow is formed of separate segments of thin sheet material fastened together. Each segment includes first and second edges adapted to be fastened to corresponding second and first edges of adjacent segments. The segments are fastened together and shaped so that they form a curving contour between outside edges and inside edges of the segments. The outside edges of the segments together form an outside seam and the inside edges of the segments together form an inside seam. Two outside seams of two half elbows can be joined together along with two inside seams of the two half elbows to entirely surround and cover a bend.

A unique protective cover system for hot water pipes and other pipe installations and which relies upon a plurality of jackets capable of being disposed about the pipes. In one embodiment of the invention, there is provided an under-sink heat protective cover system having a first J-shaped jacket to cover a J-shaped pipe arrangement or J-trap and a portion of straight pipe cover to cover the waste arm pipe in an under-sink pipe installation. Moreover, a unique coupling mechanism in the mating jackets allows one jacket to be fitted and tightly connected with the other jacket. Each of the jackets are slit longitudinally so that they can be spread apart at the slit and fitted on the pipes of the installation. A unique locking system is provided to retentively and tightly hold each jacket around a pipe section. Moreover, in another embodiment, fiber fastening strips are located adjacent the opposed edges of the slit for quickly releasably locking together with two edges of the jacket adjacent the slit.

There is disclosed fiberglass insulation for use in insulating a pipe elbow, the insulation comprises a continuous strand of a plurality of removably connected fiberglass wraps, each of said wraps comprises a pair of opposed ends having essentially the same width and a mid-section between the opposed ends having opposed arcuate sides wherein the width of the mid-section measured at any point along the opposed arcuate sides is greater than the width of the opposed ends. Also included as part of the present invention are the individual wraps which comprise the continuous strand of fiberglass insulation.
摘要:
A thermal insulation jacket for a curved tube as two shell halves such that the shape of each shell half has portions which enclasp the tube and afford at least a temporary attachment to the tube without additional manual or other external support. Thus, one person may easily install insulation jackets made in accordance with this invention because the shell halves, upon being placed on the curved tube, will stay in position on the tube while they are being tied or otherwise permanently secured to the tube or to each other.

A method of making insulated pipe joints in the field. The method includes the steps of providing a rigid shroud which is larger than the fitting from fitting end to fitting end, welding a first pipe length to a first end of the fitting, moving the shroud over the fitting to project the second end of the fitting beyond the second end of the shroud, welding the second pipe length to the second end of the fitting, centering the shroud on the fitting, enclosing the gaps between the fitting shroud and the shrouds of the pipe lengths by mold members, pouring a foamable insulation into the space between the fitting and fitting shroud and into the gaps, setting the insulation, removing the molds to expose the gap areas, and thereafter applying a protective coating to the gaps which coating overlaps the fitting shroud and the pipe length shrouds.
摘要:
An insulated conduit composed of an inner structural tubing with each length or bend of said tubing having a bell socket at one end with a matching spigot joint at the other end, and so arranged that one is enabled to assemble comparitively long continuous lengths of the insulated conduit. Resting blocks are placed at appropriate position and distances within the inner structural tubing whereby energy carrying piping may be inserted within the inner structural tubing and rest upon said blocks. The energy carrying piping is protected from loss of heat energy by the insulative value of the ambient air within the inner structural tubing and also by the inclusion of inert air spaces located between a series of structural ribs which form a support between the inner structural tubing and an outer insulation jacket.The outer insulation jacket having annular tongue and groove matching configurations at the ends combined with a system of wire anchors which are incorporated for making easily formed joints being moisture resistant and thus protecting the inner energy carrying piping from corrosion and heat loss. The use of a binding material such as wire is employed to hold continuous lengths of the insulated conduit together during installation.
