Innovating Pipeline Rehabilitation: Pipe CIPP Lining Engineering Design Services as per ASTM F1216

In the dynamic world of plumbing and pipe rehabilitation, Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) lining stands as a testament to the industry's progress and innovation. Pioneering a non-invasive, cost-effective, and efficient approach to pipeline repair, CIPP lining engineering design services have carved a significant niche in the industry. Adherence to the ASTM F1216 standard, set by the American Society for Testing and Materials, has further cemented the integrity and reliability of these services.

CIPP Lining: A Brief Overview

CIPP lining is a trenchless rehabilitation method that effectively repairs existing pipelines without the need for excavation. This process involves inserting and running a felt lining into a pre-existing pipe that is impregnated with a specially formulated resin. This resin is then cured, essentially creating a "pipe within a pipe."

The CIPP method addresses a wide array of issues, such as leaks, corrosion, root intrusion, and age-related wear and tear, without disrupting the landscape or the daily activities of businesses or households.

CIPP Lining Engineering Design Services

CIPP lining engineering design services employ advanced technology and innovative engineering principles to create effective, long-lasting solutions for pipeline problems. These services are critical to accurately assessing the damage, designing the CIPP liner, implementing the solution, and ensuring successful pipeline rehabilitation.

These engineering design services consist of various steps, such as:

Inspection: Before any design work can begin, the pipe's condition needs to be assessed using closed-circuit television (CCTV) inspection and other technologies. This inspection enables engineers to evaluate the damage extent and pinpoint its location.

Design: Based on the inspection, engineers design the CIPP liner considering factors such as pipe diameter, length, material, operating conditions, and the type and extent of damage.

Installation: This step involves inserting the designed liner into the damaged pipe and curing it using hot water, steam, or UV light.

Post-installation Inspection: The final step involves inspecting the rehabilitated pipe to ensure the CIPP liner is correctly installed and functioning as expected.

The Role of ASTM F1216

The ASTM F1216 - "Standard Practice for Rehabilitation of Existing Pipelines and Conduits by the Inversion and Curing of a Resin-Impregnated Tube," is a globally recognized standard that guides the CIPP lining process. It prescribes the material requirements, resin preparation, inversion process, curing method, and testing techniques for CIPP lining.

History of the Star Sisters, Pt. 2

Part of a series of interviews by He-man.org user Tallstar. This is the second of four.

Welcome to History of The Star Sisters - Part 2. (To read Part 1, Click HERE)

During the preliminary stage of design on The Star Sisters (Starla, Jewelstar and Tallstar), the design team at Mattel brainstormed several ideas for potential features to be packed out with or included on the figures. This installment will focus on some of the fascinating ideas that were ultimately abandoned, mainly due to the cost involved in incorporating them. Fans will also be treated to Jon's extremely detailed explanation regarding one of the "hiccups" the team experienced with Jewelstar, when going from illustrations and model prototype to produced sample. On occasion, I will interject with some of my own thoughts to give my personal feelings on the subject matter or to inform the readers. As in Part 1, Jon's statements will be in bold text. [[note: indented]]

"Of course, when a toy designer begins work in the prelim stage of design, there is no lack of spectacular ideas, bells and whistles. Everything AND the kitchen sink is tapped for inspiration. We were going to have Starla stand on a small three inch diameter rotating base that would spin when slid across the floor or a hard surface, i.e. a table top, thus she'd spin into action."

(Note to the readers: A pink combination spinning stand and backpack was included with Spinnerella, a rare, highly sought after figure, who made a limited appearance during the release of the 3rd wave of figures. However I am unsure if the design of this stand would have been identical to the one dreamed-up for Starla. What I do know, is that Starla appears alongside Spinnerella inside of the unproduced Bubble Carriage vehicle shown in one of the Mattel toy catalogs.)

"Crystal Star was going to have a sparkle feature where a thumb wheel in her back would activate a friction wheel that would ignite sparks housed within her clear glitter impregnated plastic torso. However, there is the pragmatic phase of honing this all down to the most suitable and doable ideas that are cost effective. Eventually due to the targeted price points, manufacturing costs, budget constraints, affordability and the ultimate goal of meeting the typical product margin, all these wonderful ideas end up cast to the wayside via "Toy Heaven."

The Star Sisters were "feature driven" dolls, where each required what is called a "demonstrative feature." Starla had the star glitter pack with the thumb actuator to agitate the encapsulated clear glycerin fluid with suspended glitter. This was a natural feature for her that translated very well and was cost effective. Crystal Star was designed to fold down into crystal formation. The in-house prototype model worked far better than what eventually emerged in the ultimately produced sample. Something was lost in translation regarding the hinge mechanics developed by the outside vendor, despite sufficient diagrams, illustrations and a model prototype. Subsequently, we decided this flaw was something we were going to later correct during development of the first phase prototypes from Hong Kong production. However, the very appealing glitter impregnated clear pink-peach color of the molded parts was quite beautiful in this mechanically flawed prototype. So for this reason, due to its better aesthetics, it was used for the catalogue photo shoot (Note to the readers: The prototypes shown in the Italian catalog differ from those in the American catalog), whereas the in-house version, though it functioned much better, was less attractive because it was molded in a more opaque and milky resin, not clear enough, which was painted with glitter, externally. Tall Star's feature was decided right off the bat in her "Expandra" incarnation where accordion plastic tubes bridged between the joints of her limbs, waist and neck and was immediately a favorite amongst all concerned. So her subsequent development became one more of aesthetical material decisions, i.e. vacuum metalized plastic versus translucent glitter impregnated plastic, iridescent colored hair versus metallic Mylar accented colored hair, face paint and the "color breaks" to her whole body's aesthetical composition, and so on.

The marketing group mutually and periodically reviewed the design development of the product as we progressed, which is standard practice to keep everyone in the loop and aware of design direction, and of course they submitted their input and suggestions to further enhance the dolls, "play pattern" and the line. Often much out of the control of a toy design group things will change in the "post-takeover phase" where marketing has more persuasion, i.e. Tall Star's name change."

Speaking of the marketing group, one of the most thrilling pieces of history to emerge from the discussions between Jon and I was that, at one point, marketing advocated the addition of a separate collectible item to be packed out with each doll, with the intention of fostering and promoting collectibility. I was instantly intrigued, awe-struck, and (enter about a dozen more related adjectives) because these collectible items would have further expounded on The Star Sisters' powers and delved into the dimension of the esoteric. I felt this harkened back to the darker tone set in the Masters of the Universe toy line in the early pre-Filmation days when everything was a bit more vague and therefore mysterious. (i.e. the Spirit of Castle Grayskull or apparitions appearing to dissuade Skeletor from entering the castle, a corridor etc. or the idea that Castle was built by unknown hands.) Jon explains the idea behind these unusual collectibles:

"...each doll would come with a crystal from the stars, a Star Crystal, that possessed an intangible and innate "Power of Starlight" that, via a Wicca-type incantation recited by the child, could be summoned and evoked forth from the etherial realm of the celestials and brought down to Eternia, manifesting through The Star Sisters a "supernatural presence."

In the end, cost reductions prohibited the addition of this feature.

7 Sewer and Stormwater Pipe Repair Methods You Might Not Know Of

Maintaining a well-functioning sewer and stormwater system with the help of a plumber Newcastle is crucial for the health and safety of any property. These systems play a vital role in ensuring that wastewater is carried away efficiently, and stormwater is managed to prevent flooding. However, over time, these pipes are prone to wear and tear due to factors like environmental changes, ageing infrastructure, root intrusion, and even accidental damage. If left unattended, damaged sewer and stormwater pipes can lead to unpleasant and costly consequences such as backups, leaks, or environmental contamination.

The following list explores the modern sewer and stormwater pipe repair methods that you might not know of, offering solutions that prioritise efficiency, minimal disruption, and long-term results.

Pipe Relining

Pipe relining is one of the most advanced methods for repairing damaged sewer and stormwater pipes. It involves the installation of a new liner inside the existing pipe, which forms a durable inner layer that effectively seals cracks, leaks, or other structural issues. The liner is typically made of a flexible material like resin-impregnated fabric, which hardens after it’s installed, creating a smooth and seamless pipe within a pipe.

Pipe Bursting

Pipe bursting is a trenchless method used to replace severely damaged pipes. Instead of repairing the existing pipe, pipe bursting involves breaking apart the old pipe while simultaneously pulling a new pipe into place. This is done by using a bursting head that fragments the old pipe as it is drawn through, with the new pipe attached behind it.

Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP)

Cured-in-place Pipe (CIPP) is a trenchless rehabilitation method similar to pipe relining but with a key difference in the installation process. In CIPP, a resin-saturated tube is inserted into the damaged pipe and then inflated to fit the diameter of the host pipe. Once in place, the tube is cured using hot water, steam, or UV light, which hardens the resin and creates a new, structurally sound pipe within the old one.

Slip Lining

Slip lining is a technique that has been around for decades and is used to reinforce deteriorating pipes by inserting a new, smaller pipe into the existing one. The new pipe is usually made from materials like PVC or polyethylene, which are known for their durability and resistance to corrosion. Once inserted, the annular space between the old and new pipes is filled with grout to provide stability.

Sectional Point Repair

Sectional point repair is a targeted approach to fixing localised damage within a sewer or stormwater pipe. Rather than relining or replacing the entire length of the pipe, sectional point repair focuses on the specific areas that are damaged. This method involves inserting a small liner or patch at the site of the problem, which is then cured in place to restore the pipe's integrity.

Hydro Jetting

Hydro jetting is not a repair method in the traditional sense, but it’s an essential technique for maintaining the health of sewer and stormwater pipes. It involves using high-pressure water to clear out blockages, debris, and buildup from the interior of pipes. In cases where pipes are damaged due to blockages caused by grease, sediment, or tree roots, hydro jetting can restore proper flow and prevent further damage.

Grouting

Grouting is a method used to repair leaks in stormwater and sewer pipes. It involves injecting a sealing material, such as chemical grout, into the cracks or joints of the pipe. Once injected, the grout expands to fill the gaps, effectively sealing any leaks and preventing water infiltration. Grouting can be used in both gravity and pressure pipes and is often used as a preventative measure in stormwater systems.

Advances in sewer and stormwater pipe repair technologies have revolutionised the way we maintain and fix these critical systems. From trenchless solutions like pipe relining and pipe bursting to preventive measures such as hydro jetting, property owners now have a range of options that can extend the lifespan of their infrastructure while minimising disruption and cost.

Choosing the right repair method depends on the extent of the damage, the type of pipe, and the surrounding environment. It’s essential to address issues early before they escalate into more significant problems. By staying informed about these repair methods, you can ensure that your sewer and stormwater systems remain in optimal condition for years to come.

How Prepreg Tubes are Manufactured?

Prepreg tubes are manufactured by wrapping layers of pre-impregnated carbon or fiberglass fabric around a mandrel. The mandrel's shape determines the tube's inner diameter. After wrapping, the assembly is vacuum bagged and then cured forming a rigid structure. This process ensures precise control over thickness, orientation, and resin content, resulting in high-performance tubes used in aerospace, automotive, and sports equipment.

In 1992 Mike Burrows, who has died age 79 of cancer, watched Chris Boardman win the 4,000-metre individual bicycle pursuit final at the Barcelona Olympics. Boardman was riding the Lotus 108 model that Mike had developed with Lotus Engineering, and the combination won Britain its first Olympic gold medal in the sport for 72 years.

Mike’s background as an engineer lay in running his own company in Norwich in the 1970s, producing packaging machines. When his car broke down he took to cycling, devising his own recumbent bicycles and tricycles, with the rider lying back for optimal aerodynamics and having the pedals in front, rather than below.

He considered that the bicycle’s established form was too widely taken as given, to the detriment of innovation. The increasing interest in a wide range of human-powered vehicles in the 1980s liberated his imagination to the point that he could joke: “I’m not the best bicycle designer in the world, I’m the only bicycle designer in the world.”

His breakthrough came from looking beyond the metal – usually steel – tubes that bicycles were conventionally made of. A friend’s father in the aviation industry supplied him with some off-cuts of carbon fibre.

Impregnated with resin, this could be moulded into a strong aerodynamic shape, ideal for track racing. The term monocoque is used for a structure whose loads and forces are held together within a single skin, and Mike said that the imaginative leap needed for his novel vehicle came from seeing a sculpture by Barbara Hepworth.

When, in 1985, the British Cycling Federation put Mike’s monocoque bicycle to the sport’s governing body, the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), based in Switzerland, it was rejected. But Mike’s friend Rudy Thomann, who worked for Lotus, got the car manufacturer interested, and in 1990 approval was secured from the UCI.

Unlike most people in the bicycle industry at the time, Mike paid constant attention to aerodynamics. The wind-tunnel testing of the Lotus bicycle indicated time advantages against a regular bicycle similar to those by which Boardman went on to victory over the German pursuit world champion, Jens Lehmann.

The 1992 triumph was not celebrated by the UCI. Mike appreciated concerns that expensive bikes built for rich-world athletes gave unfair advantage, but was convinced that if an event such as the Tour de France could use his faster machines, built on monocoques and aerodynamics, for even its prologue or a time trial, it would showcase the bicycle as a cutting-edge vehicle of the future, rather than of the past. Boardman rode the Lotus to a time-trial victory at the Tour in Lille in 1994, setting a record average speed that stood for more than two decades, convincing both Mike and the UCI that each was right.

That year Mike was recruited by the bicycle manufacturer Giant in Taiwan, from where he oversaw a quieter design revolution, creating the Giant TCR (Total Compact Road) model that has influenced every road bicycle since, perfecting geometries so that the same frame could be made to fit riders of different heights. The development allowed greater standardisation and thus commercialisation of road bicycles, with no compromise in frame rigidity and power. He also worked on mountain bikes and the Giant Halfway folding bike.

In 1996, the UCI produced the Lugano Charter, in effect a formal response to the success and controversy engendered by Mike’s radical designs. It ordained that the sport of cycling should be one of athletes, rather than engineers, and so put down rigid engineering limitations that were the antithesis of Mike’s quest for greater efficiency and speed. As he put it: “I left Giant in 2000 because the UCI was stopping me building better bikes. In the pro scene they are now all production-only.”

After returning from Taiwan, Mike focused on recumbent bicycles and tricycles, seeking further aerodynamic gains. He was a stalwart of the British Human Power Club, organising race track days for club championships, and took pleasure in getting faster each year by virtue of engineering gains that could outstrip his own ageing.

For all that he loved going fast, a pursuit of efficiency motivated him more than speed, and convenience was central to his affection for the engineering opportunities the bicycle afforded. I came to know him through efforts to commercialise the 8Freight, his cargo bicycle named after an old British Rail engine and designed with a relaxed position and steering intended to ensure that everyone – couriers, parents on school runs, gardeners carrying tools and earth – could take easily to it. He believed that bicycles offered the possibility of a better, more efficient society.

Mike was born in St Albans, Hertfordshire, where his father was a cabinet maker who later opened a toy shop, enabling Mike to play with model planes. After leaving school at 15, Mike worked as a machine engineer, married his wife, Tuula, and in 1969 moved to Norwich to work on boats used on the Norfolk Broads. His first engineering success was a machine that packed individual bags of crisps into multipacks, and he set up his own business. An engineering perspective that came from outside bicycle design was often credited for his future willingness to slay its sacred cows, a mission that became a defining feature of his life’s work.

All this was realised in a workshop that was a place of easels and heavy machine tools used if Mike needed to make or modify a part. He always wore overalls and wooden clogs, classical music played, and an archive of newspaper clippings, memorabilia and the bikes themselves gave the air of a living museum. When out birdwatching in the Norfolk countryside he was still open to engineering inspiration.

His book Bicycle Design: Towards the Perfect Machine (2000), went through a number of editions, its title encapsulating his commitment to the vehicle he loved.

He is survived by Tuula and their son, Paul.

How does cured-in-place pipework?

A RESIN FELT TUBE, FIBERGLASS FABRIC, OR SEVERAL OTHER MATERIALS THAT ARE SUITABLE FOR RESIN IMPREGNATION, REVERSED OR DRAWN IN A DAMAGED PIPE. THIS IS USUALLY DONE FROM THE UPSTREAM ACCESS POINT (MEN OR EXCAVATION).

It is possible to reverse the upstream layer (for samples from downstream access points), but it carries a higher risk. It is possible to install liners from downstream access points, upstream at the blind tip. However, this is often the very best risk of all CIPP installation methods. Small digging, this trenchless process is involved for the potentially more profitable and less disturbing method than traditional methods of repair of pipes.

Tips FOR CURED IN PLACE PIPES

Broadcasting the Pipeline.The pipe is checked with a camera to find a problem.Pipe must be cleaned to remove roots, dirt, debris, and potential objects that can interfere with the layer.

TAKE STEPS

Measuring pipe diameter, depth, and length were taken. The layer and calibration tube are then turned off from the construction site according to the measurements obtained.

MIX RESIN AND MEASUREMENT

Resin is also measured and mixed according to the measurements obtained

POUR IN LAYERS

Resin is then poured into the layer and rolled or “wet” several times to ensure the complete impregnation of resin to the liner.

LOAD ON THE INVERTER

The layer tube and the infused calibration are then loaded into the inverter.

LOADING IN THE LINE

The liner is then put into an existing pipe using a pipe direction and head of an inversion. This provides appropriate insertion.

BACK WITH ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE

Air pressure then turned in the resin that connects and is sealed with the existing hosts. Balloon calibration tube to maintain layers as a drug.

LOANS FOR SERVICE

After recovering, the calibration tube is removed, and the pipe is ready for service.

THE BENEFITS ARE CLEAR

As a technology without a trench, CIPP does not require excavation to rehabilitate pipes that run away or structurally. “Depending on design considerations, excavations are often made, but liners are often installed through access holes or existing access points.” Even though CIPP can repair pipes with curves, special design considerations must be taken into consideration to stop wrinkles and stretches.

Manufacturing Method of Carbon Fiber Tube

Carbon fiber tube is an ideal choice for many fainting enthusiasts and professionals in the manufacturing industry. Using the stiffness of carbon fiber, the rigid but lightweight tubular structure can be widely used. Carbon fiber tubes can replace steel, but more often they replace aluminum. In many cases, the weight of a carbon fiber tube may be 1/3 of that of an aluminum tube, but it still has the same or better strength characteristics. Therefore, carbon fiber tubes are often used in industries where weight reduction is critical, such as aerospace, racing, and leisure sports. The most common carbon fiber tubular outline shapes are square, rectangular and circular. Rectangular and square profiles are often referred to as "box beams". The carbon fiber box beam provides excellent stiffness to the structure and simulates two parallel I-beams.

Application of carbon fiber tube

In any application where weight is critical, it would be beneficial to switch to carbon fiber. The following are some of the most common uses of carbon fiber tubes:  Aerospace beams and spars  Structural components of Formula One  Arrow shaft  Bicycle tube  Kayak paddle

Pultruded carbon fiber tube

Hollow composite structures can be difficult to manufacture. This is because pressure needs to be applied to both the inside and outside of the laminate. Carbon fiber tubes with continuous profiles are usually manufactured by pultrusion or wire winding. Pultruded pipe is by far the most cost-effective method of manufacturing continuous composite profiles. When pultruding a hollow tube, a "floating mandrel" is required. The chrome steel rod is firmly fixed on the side where the mold enters the raw material. The distance to install the hardware is far enough so that it will not interfere with the impregnated fiber when it enters the mold. The space between the mandrel and the mold will determine the wall thickness of the carbon fiber tube. Pultruded carbon fiber tubes can produce tubes of almost any length. The transportation of pipes is usually limited by length. In pultrusion, most of the fibers will extend in the direction of the tube. This produces a tube with great stiffness, but not much hoop or lateral strength.

Wire wound carbon fiber tube

In order to improve the strength and performance in all directions, wire winding is an effective method for manufacturing carbon fiber tubes. The basic method is to wind the continuous fiber or cloth tape impregnated with resin glue on the core mold according to a certain rule, and then solidify and demold into a composite product. This method is mainly used to manufacture rotationally symmetrical products such as circular pipes, pressure tanks, and storage tanks. Its characteristic is that the molding process is continuous and completed at one time; the shape and size of the product can be guaranteed, and the strength in the diameter direction is high. However, special winding machines and auxiliary equipment are required, and the production cost is relatively high. Wire wound tubes are cost-effective and have excellent performance, but the biggest limitation depends on the length of the winding machine.

As a professional manufacturer of carbon fiber products, Wuxi Coreco is welcome to inquire and customize.
