Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for manufacturing a pipe suitable for use in a sewage system made from concrete and to be coupled with other pipes of the same type for the construction of a sewage system, which pipe is being provided with a seamless inside wall, having rising side wall elements which in a cross-sectional view taper towards the bottom of the pipe and extend in a substantially straight course, which side wall elements merge into one another at the bottom side of the pipe to form a curved wall portion whose curve is defined by a first radius, and which at the top side of the pipe merge into one another to form a curved wall portion whose curve is defined by a second radius, the second radius being larger than the first radius.
- Such a pipe is known from DE-A-28 54 224.
- the first radius may be considered as small relative to the second radius.
- Such a pipe is further known from the Dutch patent application NL-A-286170.
- This publication also discloses a round pipe.
- the characteristic of the known pipe is an ability to cope with rather large debits of waste water.
- this large capacity detracts from the performance when there is a small supply of waste water.
- it is desirable that the flow of liquid in the pipe is maintained at a sufficiently high level in order to avoid corrosion of the pipe due to sediment deposit. Sediment deposit occurs especially at slower flow rates and results in the corrosion of the sewer of which the pipe is a component.
- a sufficiently high flow rate prevents sediment deposit but ensures also that possible sediment deposit is carried away sooner.
- the use of egg-shaped pipes has already been known for some time from the prior art.
- Such egg-shaped pipes are known, for instance, from the Dutch patent application NL-A-6514445 and the Dutch patent NL-B-43859. In comparison with the known round pipe, an egg-shaped pipe will exhibit an improved flow rate at a certain supply flow in the low range.
- the objective of the invention is now to further improve the pipes known from the prior art and to provide a pipe which, especially in the low flow range, discharges the liquid more quickly while maintaining the capacity. This objective is achieved by the method as defined by claim 1.
- the pipe manufactured according to the invention is such that the first radius is more or less constant and small relative to the second radius such as to provide a sufficiently high flow rate under low debit conditions, and independent of the second radius, whereby the inclination of the side wall elements with respect to a horizontal base is fixed at a constant value which is independent of the second radius.
- This results in the flow profile in the bottom of the pipe being more or less constant and small and independent of the diameter of the pipe or of the pipe's capacity.
- the second radius of the pipe is gauged depending on the desired capacity. As the inclination of the side wall elements with respect to a horizontal base is fixed at a constant value, the distance between the centre pertaining to the second radius and the centre pertaining to the first radius depends on the second radius determined by the desired capacity.
- a pipe is provided which, as well as being able to realize a sufficiently high flow rate of waste water to be processed under low debit conditions, it has also sufficient capacity to process said waste water without fail under high debit conditions, while in addition affording sufficient storage capacity.
- said pipe should possess an outside wall, a portion of which forms a substantially flat base.
- the pipe manufactured according to the invention achieves reproducible performances.
- Fig. 1 shows the pipe manufactured according to the invention generally indicated by reference number 7.
- Said pipe is suitable for use in a sewage system and is made from concrete and can be coupled with other pipes of the same type for the construction of a sewage system.
- Said pipe 7 has a seamless inside wall 8 which is characterized in that it possesses rising side wall elements 9 and 10 which in cross section taper towards the bottom of the pipe.
- the side wall elements 9 and 10 merge into one another at the bottom side by means of a curved wall portion 11 whose curve is defined by a first radius.
- the side wall elements 9 and 10 merge into one another by means of a curved wall portion 12 whose curve is defined by a second radius.
- the second radius 12 is larger than the first radius 11.
- the second radius 12 determines the maximum discharge and storage capacity, while the first radius 11 is more or less constant, small and independent of the diameter.
- the objective of said first radius 11 is to keep the flow rate as high as possible at low discharge conditions.
- the side wall elements 9 and 10 furthermore, extend in a substantially straight course.
- the pipe 7 finally, is at the outside provided with a substantially flat base 13.
- Fig. 2 shows schematically the profile of the pipe 7 manufactured according to the invention, a pipe 14 having a round cross section, and a pipe 15 having an egg-shaped cross section respectively. The differences between these respective embodiments are clearly recognizable in this Fig. 2.
- Fig. 3 shows in a graph how the performance levels of the pipe manufactured according to the invention compare with pipes of the prior art, as schematically shown in Fig. 2.
- the graph shows on the X-axis the discharge in litres per second, while the Y-axis shows a measure of the flow rate.
- the graph shows results of pipes according to the prior art which, with regard to capacity, correspond to the pipes manufactured according to the invention, i.e. the results of a pipe with a round cross section are represented by triangular dots, and the results of an egg-shaped pipe are represented by square dots standing on a corner.
- the graph of Fig. 3 shows clearly that under all conditions the flow rates of the pipe manufactured according to the invention is superior compared with the two pipes of the prior art.
- Fig. 4 finally shows in sub-figures 4A-4E the pipe 7 manufactured according to the invention with a from Fig. 4A to Fig. 4E increasing processing capacity.
- the Figs. 4A-4E clearly show that the first radius 11 has a constant value in each of the Figs. 4A-4E while likewise, the side wall elements 9 and 10 exhibit a constant inclination in relation to the base 13.
- the value of the second radius 12 increases from Fig. 4A-4E in correspondence with the increasing processing capacity, and the distance between the centres pertaining to the first and the second radius 11, 12 increases correspondingly from Fig. 4A to Fig. 4E.
