ABSTRACT:
An insulated pipe apparatus comprises an inner conduit for carrying fluids, an insulated material surrounding the conduit which extends along substantially the entire length of the inner conduit, a sheet of corrugated material surrounding the insulating material so as to provide a plurality of substantially constant cross-section elongated voids along the length of the insulation, a rigid outer casing surrounding the corrugated sheet, and an end seal covering the end cross-section of the pipe apparatus except for the inner conduit and providing a means to interconnect the elongated voids and to connect them with external equipment. Slots cut into an insulating material may be substituted for the corrugated sheet to provide a plurality of substantially constant cross-section elongated voids. A gel coat may be added to the exterior surface of the outer casing to provide further protection from the environment for the pipe apparatus.
