Referring to the drawings, the structure of the steel pipe 100 includes a steel pipe body 10, and a reinforcement cloth 20 is coated on the outer surface of the steel pipe body 10 and the SPC mixture is impregnated.

The SPC is a first selected from dicyclopentadiene, methyl cyclopentadiene, divinyl benzene, cyclooctadiene, cyclodecatriene, octadiene and myrcene, as disclosed in Patent Publication No. 1983-2618. 5-20% by weight of hydrocarbons (relative to sulfur) and 5-20% by weight of second hydrocarbons (relative to sulfur) selected from dipentene, styrene, vinyltoluene, pinene and octene are high enough for exothermic reactions with sulfur elements It is made by reacting at a temperature, that is, 120 to 200 ° C.

The SPC exists in a solid phase at 100-110 ° C. or lower, and in a liquid phase at a temperature above that. When the SPC is 150-160 ° C. or higher, a change in physical properties occurs, such as an increase in viscosity and discharge of sulfur components. Therefore, in order to use SPC, it is preferable to maintain the temperature of 130-140 degreeC.

The SPC has a transmittance of 5 to 100, a softening point of 10 to 70 ° C. and a ductility of at least 100, and the heat transfer rate is considerably low. In addition, SPC has high corrosion resistance, corrosion resistance, acid resistance, antimicrobial storage resistance, and freeze thaw resistance. In addition, SPC is a non-toxic material that is harmless to organisms.

Meanwhile, in the present specification, the term "steel pipe body" refers to a steel pipe before the SPC mixture is coated with the reinforcement cloth 20 impregnated, and the term "steel pipe" refers to the reinforcement cloth 20 impregnated with the SPC mixture. It means steel pipe. In addition, the "SPC mixture" means a mixture in which a substance for improving physical properties is added to the SPC. That is, fillers, admixtures, reinforcing materials and the like may be added to the SPC.

The steel pipe main body 10 is manufactured by a conventional method, the manufacturing method will be described below.

Preferably, the epoxy resin layer 30 is formed on the inner surface of the steel pipe body (10). The epoxy resin layer 30 is formed by applying or spraying an epoxy resin on the inner surface of the steel pipe main body 10.

The reinforcement cloth 20 is impregnated with the SPC mixture. Nonwoven fabrics such as hessian cross, glass mat, and the like may be used as the reinforcement fabric 20.

Fly ash and / or silica fume may be used as the filler, and paraffin may be used as a admixture. In addition, polyethylene fiber or polypropylene fiber may be used as the reinforcing material.

Then, a process for manufacturing the structure of the SPC-coated steel pipe according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described.

The manufacturing process, the step of injecting SPC, filler, admixture, reinforcing material into the mixer (not shown) (S10 of FIG. 4) and the step of preparing the SPC mixture by stirring the SPC, filler, admixture, reinforcing material added to the mixer ( S20), supplying the SPC mixture to the impregnation tank 40 (S30), heating the impregnation tank 40 to maintain the SPC mixture contained therein at a predetermined temperature (S40), and the steel pipe body Step 10 of heating (10) and then installing on the swivel 60 (S50), the step of impregnating the reinforcement cloth 20 drawn from the take-up roller 70 in the impregnation tank 40 (S60), and the steel pipe body And coating (S70) the steel pipe body 10 with the impregnated reinforcement cloth 20 while rotating (10) and rotating it horizontally.

First, the SPC is added to the mixer with a material for improving physical properties (S10). The material improves physical properties such as strength when the nonwoven fabric 20 impregnated with the SPC mixture, that is, the reinforcement cloth 20 is coated on the steel pipe main body 10. Such materials include fillers, admixtures, reinforcements, and the like.

When the SPC is in a solid state, it is heated in a separately provided auxiliary tank (not shown), converted into a liquid phase, and then introduced into a mixer. If the SPC is in a solid state in powder form, it can be added directly to the mixer without passing through the auxiliary tank.

On the other hand, the liquid SPC is supplied to the mixer from the SPC storage tank (not shown).

The SPC storage tank includes a tank accommodating the SPC, a heating unit for heating the SPC contained in the tank to a predetermined temperature, and a rotary vane that is rotated by a motor and stirs the SPC. The heating unit is such that the SPC contained in the tank is maintained at 130-140 ℃. Preferably, the heating unit heats the SPC by the indirect heating method by the fruit oil. Such storage tanks are disclosed in Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0371838.

Preferably, the mixer includes a stirring blade for stirring the contents, that is, the SPC mixture, and a heating member capable of heating the SPC mixture. By heating the inside of the mixer, the heating member keeps the temperature inside the mixer constant, and when the SPC is in a solid state, the SPC can be melted in the liquid phase. More preferably, the heating member heats the inside of the mixer by an indirect heating method by the fruit oil.

As such, the mixer prepares the SPC mixture by stirring the SPC, filler, admixture, and reinforcing material (S20). The prepared SPC mixture is supplied to the impregnation tank 40 (S30).

The impregnation tank 40 allows the SPC mixture contained therein to maintain a predetermined temperature (S40). The impregnation tank 40 includes a heating means (not shown) for heating the SPC mixture, and a guide roller 42 for guiding the movement of the reinforcement cloth 20. The guide roller 42 is bent while the impregnated reinforcement cloth 20 is in contact with the outer surface.

Preferably, the heating means heats the temperature of the SPC mixture to be maintained at 130-140 ° C. More preferably, the heating means heats the impregnation tank 40 by an indirect heating method using fruit oil.

The impregnation tank 40 is preferably installed in a predetermined sealed space 50 so that the temperature of the SPC mixture contained therein can be maintained constant. That is, the impregnation tank 40 may be installed in the sealed space 50 formed by the heat insulator 52. The heat insulator 52 is formed with an inlet port 54 through which the reinforcement cloth 20 flows in, and a discharge port 56 through which the reinforcement cloth 20 is discharged.

In addition, the steel pipe main body 10 is manufactured by a conventional method as mentioned above. First, a steel plate of a predetermined thickness is cut into a predetermined size and then bent into a cylindrical shape. Then, the edge portions are welded to each other. The manufactured steel pipe body 10 is heated to a constant temperature. This is to increase the adhesive force with the nonwoven fabric 20, ie, the reinforcement cloth 20, to which the SPC mixture is impregnated by drying the steel pipe main body 10. After the steel pipe main body 10 is heated, compressed air is sprayed on the steel pipe main body 10 to remove dust and the like remaining in the steel pipe main body 10.

After removing dust and the like, the steel pipe main body 10 is heated to a predetermined temperature. This is to prevent the rapid cooling of the SPC when the reinforcing cloth 20 impregnated with the SPC mixture is coated on the steel pipe main body 10. The predetermined temperature is a temperature at which the reinforcing fabric 20 impregnated with the SPC mixture can be easily bonded.

Next, the steel pipe main body 10 is installed on the swivel table 60 (S50).

The swivel table 60 rotates while supporting the steel pipe body 10 and at the same time horizontally moves the steel pipe body 10.

Preferably, the swivel table 60 includes a rotating roller 62 for rotating while supporting the steel pipe main body 10 and a moving member 66 for horizontally moving the steel pipe main body 10.

The rotating roller 62 rotates the steel pipe body 10 while being selectively rotated by a rotating motor (not shown). The moving member 66 has a rail 67 and a wheel 68 moved along the rail 67. The moving member 66 horizontally moves the steel pipe main body 10 such that the reinforcing cloth 20 impregnated with the SPC mixture is spirally coated on the outer surface of the steel pipe main body 10.

As an alternative to the swivel table 60, the swivel table is a gripping unit (not shown) for gripping and selectively rotating the steel pipe body 10 by biasing the inner surface of the steel pipe body 10 to the outside. A mobile unit (not shown) for horizontally moving the unit may be provided.

After the steel pipe main body 10 is installed on the swivel 60, the reinforcing cloth 20 is taken out of the winding roller 70 and impregnated in the impregnation tank 40 (S60).

The winding roller 70 supplies the reinforcing cloth 20 wound on its outer circumferential surface to the impregnation tank 40. The reinforcement cloth 20 is moved to the impregnation tank 40 through the inlet port 54, and is moved to the steel pipe main body 10 through the outlet port 56.

Preferably, the reinforcement cloth 20 is moved to the steel pipe main body 10 while being guided by the guide roller 80 installed between the impregnation tank 40 and the swivel table 60.

More preferably, the guide roller 80 is heated to a predetermined temperature by a heating member 82 provided therein. By heating the guide roller 80 to a predetermined temperature, the reinforcement cloth 20 can be prevented from being cooled during the movement. The heating member 82 may heat the guide roller 80 by using an indirect heating method using fruit oil.

After impregnating the SPC in the reinforcement cloth 20, the reinforcing cloth 20 is coated on the outer surface of the steel pipe main body 10 while rotating the steel pipe main body 10 and moving horizontally (S70). When the steel pipe main body 10 is rotated by the rotating roller 62 and moved horizontally by the moving member 66, the reinforcing cloth 20 is spirally coated on the outer surface of the steel pipe main body 10.

Since the reinforcement cloth 20 impregnated with the SPC mixture has sufficient compressive strength and tensile strength, it is possible to supplement the strength of the steel pipe body 10. Therefore, since the thickness of the steel pipe main body 10 can be reduced by that much, the production cost of the steel pipe 100 can be reduced.

In addition, since the self-weight of the steel pipe 100 can be reduced, it is possible to prevent settlement by self-weight, and since the SPC has excellent anti-rusting property, a separate process for rust prevention is not required. In addition, the steel pipe 100 has excellent corrosion resistance, acid resistance, antimicrobial storage properties, and freeze thaw resistance.

Furthermore, the reinforcement cloth 20 impregnated with the SPC mixture may be adhered to the steel pipe body 10 without a separate adhesive. Since the process of applying the adhesive to the steel pipe main body 10 is not necessary, the production process can be simplified, and the production cost can be reduced by that much.

When the coating step (S50) is completed, the reinforcing cloth 20 is cut. At this time, the reinforcement cloth 20 is firmly adhered to the steel pipe main body 10 by pressing the cut end of the reinforcement cloth 20. To this end, it is preferable to install a pressing roller (not shown) capable of pressing the end portion at a position close to the steel pipe main body 10.

Preferably, after the coating step (S50), the epoxy resin layer 30 is formed by spraying or applying an epoxy resin on the inner surface of the steel pipe body (10). Meanwhile, a process of cooling the steel pipe 100 may be selectively added between the coating process S50 and the epoxy resin layer forming process.

On the other hand, the present specification has described that the rotating table 60 is moved in the horizontal direction and the impregnation tank 40 and the winding roller 70 is fixed, the impregnation tank 40 and the winding roller 70 in the horizontal direction It may be moved and the swivel table 60 may be fixed. That is, the impregnation tank 40 and the winding roller 70 may be installed on a predetermined frame, and the impregnating tank 40 and the winding roller 70 may be rotated while the frame is moved in the horizontal direction.

The structure of the SPC-coated steel pipe according to the present invention has the following effects.

First, the thickness of the steel pipe body can be reduced by covering the steel pipe body with a reinforcing cloth impregnated with SPC mixture that can supplement the strength of the steel pipe body.

Second, it is possible to prevent the settlement of the steel pipe due to its own weight.

Third, no separate process is required for the rust prevention treatment.

Fourth, it is possible to provide a steel pipe having excellent corrosion resistance, acid resistance, antimicrobial storage resistance, and freeze thaw resistance.

Fifth, the production process of steel pipe can be simplified.
