DE2052592A1 - Pipeline protection - with outer plastic jacket and leak detector - Google Patents

Abstract

Protection against earth tremors, sabotage and leakages for oil pipelines etc. consists of an outer plastic jacket, probe for leak detection, closed padded trough to absorb shocks and an open ended pipe inside to increase strength. Water pipes can also be heated. Underground bursts can be accurately loacted and section automatically isolated.

Description

Description Title: Pipeline Scope: The invention relates to a variably usable basic type made of metal or plastic, especially for the transport of petroleum, fresh water and plastic materials.

Purpose: There is unlimited leeway with such pipe guides required in terms of meeting and economic efficiency.

State of the art: A comparable offer in terms of price does not exist at the moment.

Locations: Existing pipelines and planned projects in the USSR, USA, Middle East, Asia, criticism of the state of the art: No pipeline of the present and the near future is adequately protected against earthquakes, sabotage and leaks.

Task: The invention is based on the task, with the help of as possible few series components, all construction requests for pipeline projects on and under the To be able to meet the earth as well as on and under water surfaces easily and quickly.

Solution: According to the invention, this object is achieved in that with a minimum of manpower and machinery all approved building materials the present and future can be used variably.

Subclaim: To have such versatility in use will allow the pipeline (number 8 of the drawing) to leak into one Plastic hose (7) plugged in and monitored for breaks with the aid of a probe (6) and reinforced against vibrations by inserted tubes (5) or cushion bearings (4) (@) or secured (4). Pigelines, which are relocated to the supply, are envy (@).

for the description of the P i p e 1 i n e of Werner Grobe, Architect, FFM.

Achievable Advantages: The advantages achieved with the invention exist especially in that the distribution warehouse can be kept small and delivery as well as time will always be a minimum. Leave changes and repairs can be carried out quickly and with the help of the probes the underground can be laid Easily find a pipeline or switch off a route between two pumping stations. the The outer skin is weatherproof and fire-resistant Description of the examples: Exemplary embodiments are shown in the drawing and are described below described in more detail.

It shows: Figure 1 the connected pipeline to a freshwater reservoir. Figure 2 a plastic pipeline connected to the meltwater core of an iceberg and FIG. 3 shows a pipeline which conveys the crude oil from a crude oil store. - Figure 4 shows the soft storage of pipelines in earthquake areas; the Pipeline pipe is reinforced at 5 by open pipes. Figure 8 shows a pipe break point and how the plastic cover tube works. The fuse consists of twofold Regarding: On the one hand, the flowing current is caused by the also broken probe interrupted and thereby the nearest pressure pump switched off at the 3ruchstelle of the fipelir.e pipe a pressure drop, if necessary from the whole Pipe length between white fump stations can be recorded and thus the outlet which helps prevent fluid.

Claims (3)

Patent claim - protection claim 1. Pipeline, characterized in that the respective pipeline with a pressure-resistant pipe jacket is surrounded over its entire length, the top and bottom a Probe carries. In addition, the pipeline can be laid in a cushion and in addition imien are reinforced with smaller pipes (bundle strength). 2. Pipelines according to claim 1, characterized in that the probe The inner reinforcement tubes are made of easily breakable but electrically conductive material made of the same material as the pipeline pipe itself and the outer jacket as well as the upholstery are made of plastic. 3. Pipeline, according to claim 1, characterized in that the genairnten Additional parts can be kept in stock, quickly procured and installed are. Empty wire
