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.
