Pipe-in Liners are classified into four different series: Pipe-in Liner W Series, Pipe-in Liner O Series, Pipe-in Liner G series, and Pipe-in Liner H series.
►Pipe-in Liner W series are used to rehabilitate pressure pipelines, including water main pipes and force mains at normal temperature.
►Pipe-in Liner O series are used to rehabilitate oil pipes both onshore and offshore.
►Pipe-in Liner G series are used to rehabilitate gas pipes both onshore and offshore.
►Pipe-in liner H series are used to rehabilitate pipes in municipal heat system. Pipe-in liner H series can resist a temperature up to 95° C (203° F).
Furthermore, Asoe is the first company in the world to develop this type of solution to rehabilitate hot water pipes.
Besides liners, Asoe also supplies complete solutions and accessory equipment, including couplings to connect Pipe-in Liner with host pipes, equipment to install couplings, and technical consulting etc.
Pipe-in Liner solution is a semi-structurally independent rehabilitation technology. There is no connection between the host pipe and the liner; the liner works independently from the host pipe. The liner is rigid and maintains the round shape inside the host pipes when there is a vacuum inside the host pipe or when there is temporary external pressure on the host pipe.
ASTM installation guide and design guide are available upon request.
Connectors (PILC Couplings, Patent Protected)
•Choose section of host pipes to be rehabilitated
•Install by-pass hoses in order to keep transferring flow during
rehabilitating
•Dig construction pits at two ends
•Inspect pipes with a mobile TV camera and analysis of video recordings
•Mechanical coarse cleaning of host pipes with scraper pigs
•Clean host pipes by water jetting
•Position Pipe-in Liners at the start pit and the pulling winch at
destination pit
•Install pulling head onto liner
•Install hose guides
•Fold Pipe-in Liner into U-shape and bind the liner with scotch tape
•Pull liner into the host pipes
•Install PILC couplings onto the host pipes
•Hydrostatic pressure test or air pressure test
•Install transition pipes
•Recover transferring fluid
•Remove by-pass and close pit
In order to purchase correct liners to rehabilitate host pipes, the following information is required:
1.Normal operating pressure and temperature;
2.Media transferred inside the host pipes, such as
water,oil,gas, hot water, chemicals etc.
3.Materials and actual ID of host pipes, number of
bends,degrees of bends, etc.
4.The length of each section of host pipes which
Are supposed to be rehabilitated.
Pipe-in Liners hold the pressure from inside but not from outside.The host pipes must be able to hold the pressure from outside. If the host pipes collapse, Pipe-in Liner solution is not recommended.
1. Surface disruption is minimized.
2. Free of maintenance after installation.
3. Liners can be used in up to 45° bend or 90° bend with a 5D radius.
4. Resist higher pressure from inside.
5. Less influence on residents and businesses during installation.
6. Pipe-in Liner eliminates the need for removal, restoration and long-term costs associated with trench settlement.
7. Providing an efficient solution for crossing obstacles such as rivers, highways, rail tracks etc.
1. Rehabilitating gas pipes in Mianyang, Sichuan, China. The
ID of gas pipes is 200mm. Two sections of gas pipes were
rehabilitated and the total length was 450 meters. Pipe-in
Liner G series were installed.
2. Rehabilitating gas pipes in Fushun, Liaoning, China. The
ID of gas pipe is 400mm. Two sections of gas pipes were
rehabilitated and the total length was 280 meters. Pipe-in Liner G series were installed.
