ABSTRACT:
A thermoplastic liner for installation in an existing conduit is manufactured in folded form and spooled for storage. The liner is then reheated to make it pliable for installation and pulled into the conduit. Steam under pressure is used to round the installed pipe. The leading end of the liner may be restricted by an end clamp which enables hot fluid to pass completely through the pipe and heat the full length, or by an inflatable plug which is displaced to the leading end of the liner after installation. Methods and apparatus for the manufacturing of the liner include extruding heated thermoplastic pipe material through a die to form a tubular shape, shaping the extruded tubular plastic material to the folded form and cooling to provide a liner with a memory for the folded form.
