Composite Reinforced Pipe ''CRM Pipe''. Final Report

摘要

On March 1, 1982, the invention CRM Pipe (OERI No. 009055) was submitted to the National Bureau of Standards, Office of Energy Related Inventories. A recommendation (No. 227) was issued by NBS/OERI on December 14, 1982, which resulted in funding of $50,000.00, in mid-1984 from the Department of Energy. However, delays in the receipt of funding caused cost increases in most project areas. Upon receipt of those funds, the design and construction of a 60'' diameter x 25' x 5000 pound mandrel weight capability composite reinforcement machine was begun. This machine would allow for the high speed production of COMPOSITE CRACK ARRESTERS and the further development of large diameter COMPOSITE PIPE. The machine was completed and installed at NCF Industries' Long Beach facility in January 1985. (ERA citation 11:022915)
