    Abstract: A liner tube (38, 40) (74) is provided for repairing either a single pipe line (70) or a main pipe line (50) having a lateral pipe line (52) connected thereto. The liner tube assembly includes a liner tube (38, 40) (74) impregnated with a liquid material capable of curing and hardening. The liner tube (38, 40) (74) includes a gasket (56) or band (62) positioned about the juncture of the pipe lines (50, 52). The gasket (56) or bands (62) (76) (78) form a tight seal between the liner tube (38) (40) (74) and the pipe line.

    Abstract: Method and apparatus for forming a grommet assembly to seal and reinforce holes through a cured in place liner for securing a cable. A first grommet base having a centrally located aperture with wedge shaped grooves is positioned on one side of the hole. A barrel having two opposed sets of wedge shaped projections is inserted into the grommet base and a second grommet base is placed on the barrel and pushed towards the liner until the second base firmly contacts the top surface of the liner and compresses the liner against the first base. The wedge shaped projections on the barrel and the complimentary grooves in the central apertures of the grommet bases prevent the barrel from being pulled out of either grommet base. The end of the barrel which projects out above the second base is cut off flush with the top surface. A hydraulic press to install the grommet assembly is also disclosed.

    Abstract: A lining apparatus and method is provided that obviates the need for a bladder to press the liner against the host pipe. The lining apparatus may include an extension tube sealed to the liner at one of its ends with an inversion mechanism attached to the other end of the liner for inverting the liner to its desired position within the pipe to be repaired. The lining apparatus can also avoid the use of an extension tube by temporarily closing the liner during the inversion process so that the liner can be inflated when pressurized by a fluid and then sealing an open end of the liner after it has been inverted into the pipe.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of radially expanding a tubular element. The method comprises inducing the wall of the tubular element to bend radially outward and in axially reverse direction so as to form an expanded tubular section extending around an unexpanded section of the tubular element, said wall having a resistance to radially outward bending and a resistance to stretching in circumferential direction. Said wall is provided with at least one of primary means for increasing the resistance to radially outward bending of the wall, and secondary means for reducing the resistance to stretching in circumferential direction of the wall.

    Abstract: Installation of a flexible cured in place liner by inverting the liner utilizing an inversion sleeve assembly with an installation apparatus having at least one selectively operable rigid gland. The sleeve assembly includes a sleeve portion of an absorbable material secured in an apparatus with an inversion boot fitted at the distal end with an inlet port for inversion and/or curing fluid. The sleeve assembly and apparatus are particularly well suited for inverting with air and curing the liner with steam introduced through a perforated lay flat hose using an apparatus with two glands. The installation sleeve is the same dimension as the liner to be installed and is reusable thereby substantially reducing the set up time to install using the dual gland apparatus. Preferably, the flexible sleeve is a length of dry cured in place liner inverted on to itself to expose two impregnable surfaces. The sleeve may have a built in fluid inlet port for use with a dual gland apparatus.

    Abstract: A process for lining an existing pipeline or conduit with a flexible resin impregnated cured in place liner by pulling in the liner and inflating a resin impregnated inflation bladder with air and curing the liner with flow-through steam without loss of pressure is provided. The liner includes a resin absorbent material in tubular form with an impermeable membrane forming an outer layer. The inflation bladder also includes a resin absorbent material in tubular form with an impermeable membrane forming an outer layer and an exhaust assembly at the trailing end and is passed through a pressurized inversion apparatus into the collapsed liner. As the bladder reaches the distal end, the exhaust assembly exits the everting bladder and is coupled to an exhaust hose. Steam is then introduced the inversion apparatus to cure the resin and is exhausted through the exhaust tube. After cure, steam is replaced with air to cool the liner and the ends are cut to restore service through the host pipe.

    Abstract: A method for inverting a tubular liner (3) in a hollow conduit (10) involves: forming a cuff (15) from the tubular liner, the cuff having an opening (15A) through which the liner is fed; and while feeding the liner through the cuff opening, feeding a gas under pressure through a gas inlet port (8) formed in the liner to a space between the cuff and the remainder of the liner, thereby causing inversion and inflation of the liner into and through the conduit. After a portion of the liner has been inverted in the conduit, a region (36) of the cuff and liner upstream of the gas inlet port is sealed off, thereby causing inversion of the remainder of the liner in the conduit. Optionally, before a trailing end of the liner is fed through the opening of the cuff, the trailing end is sealed to prevent flow of gas therefrom. When the liner is intended to line the conduit, the liner resin-impregnated either outside or in the conduit and, after complete inversion of the liner in the conduit, the resin is cured and the ends of the liner are sealed to the inside surfaces of the conduit. An apparatus (4) and system for conducting the method are also provided.
