Title: Electrofusion of pipe liners
Inventor: GRÉGORY ALEXANDRE TOGUYENI
IPC: F16L55/28
Filed: 2017-12-19
Abstract: A method of joining together liner sections within a polymer-lined pipe comprises energising an induction coil 68 inside the pipe 20 to heat a portion of an elongate interface between the liner sections. This melts and fuses the polymer material 52 locally. The induction coil is then moved, for example circumferentially, along the interface to heat other parts of the interface successively above the melting temperature. Apparatus for performing the method comprises a power supply 74 for energising the induction coil; and a drive system 62 for moving the energised induction coil relative to a body of the apparatus. The method may further comprise allowing a previously-heated portion of the interface to cool below the melting temperature while the induction coil heats another portion of the interface above the melting temperature. The induction coil can be pivoted around a central longitudinal axis of the pipe, with the drive system preferably performing this action. The body of the apparatus can fit within and move longitudinally along a surrounding pipe without lateral movement, while maintaining the pivot axis coincident with the central longitudinal axis of the pipe.
