Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A pipe or fitting having a polymer liner and a replaceable component including an outer ring having an outside diameter matching the inside diameter of the pipe or fitting, a polymer liner bonded to the outer ring and having an inside diameter matching the inside diameter of the liner of the pipe or fitting. The replaceable component is disposed in an inlet or outlet of the pipe or fitting so as to form a continuous bore lined with a polymer.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A polymer-lined pipe or fitting having replaceable components, wherein the inlet and/or the outlet of the polymer-lined pipe or fitting defines a groove configured to receive a replaceable component to form a continuous bore, the replaceable component comprising: (a) an outer ring having an outside diameter matching the inside diameter of the pipe or fitting in the groove; and (b) a polymer liner bonded to the outer ring and having an inside diameter matching the inside diameter of the polymer liner of the pipe or fitting. 2. The pipe or fitting of claim 1 wherein the outer ring of the replaceable component is made of metal or fiberglass-reinforced plastics. 3. The pipe or fitting of claim 1 wherein the polymer of the replaceable component comprises a natural or synthetic rubber, a polyurethane, a thermoplastic polymer, or a thermoset polymer. 4. The pipe or fitting of claim 1 wherein the polymer liner of the replaceable component is the same or similar to the polymer liner of the pipe or fitting. 5. The pipe or fitting of claim 1 wherein the replaceable components have a square-cut or an angle-cut face which abuts the liner of the pipe or fitting. 6. The pipe or fitting of claim 1 wherein all the exposed surfaces of the replaceable components are lined, coated or encapsulated with polymer. 7. The pipe or fitting of claim 6 wherein all the exposed surfaces in the pipe or fitting are lined, coated or encapsulated with polymer. 8. The pipe or fitting of claim 1 wherein the replaceable components are bonded into the pipe or fitting. 9. The pipe or fitting of claim 1 wherein all the gaps or seams around the replaceable components are filled with sealing agents to make a smooth bore. 10. The pipe or fitting of claim 1 wherein the polymer liner protrudes slightly beyond at least one end of the outer ring to allow for compression fit when interlocked between two pipes or fittings. 11. The pipe or fitting of claim 1 wherein the polymer liner of the replaceable components is tapered to achieve smooth ID transition when connected to a pipe or fitting having different ID. 12. The pipe or fitting of claim 1 wherein the replaceable components comprise multiple sections assembled together.
