MILO D. LOOMAN, OF ORCUTT, CALIFORNIA, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO EDWARD E. FORBES, 0F ORCUTT, CALIFORNIA.
METHOD OF CONVEYING OIL.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented July 25, 1916.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, MILO D. LOOMAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Orcutt, in the county of Santa Barbara and State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Methods of Conveying Oil, of which the following is a specification.
The present invention relates to a method of conveying oils or the like through pipes or conduits, by passing the same over relatively stationary bodies of water held within the lower portion or bottom of the pipe.
In the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification and in which like numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout the same, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a pipe embodying my invention, Fig. 2 is a central longitudinal sectional view through the same, Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view taken on line 33 of Fig. 1, and, Fig. 4: is a similar view taken on line 4-4 of Fig. 1.
In the drawings, the numeral 5 designates my conduit, as a whole, which is provided at longitudinally spaced intervals with outwardly bulging pockets or portions 6, having curved tapered ends 7, as shown. Between the outwardly bulging pockets are the normal portions 8 of the pipe, having a much smaller diameter, in comparison with the bulging pockets 6, as shown. I have found that the best results are obtainable by having the outwardly bulging pockets or portions 6 of a substantially greater length than the diameter of the normal portions 8 of the pipe, as shown. The normal portions are shorter in length than the pockets or portions 6, as shown. Each section of the pipe is so cut or made that its end is in the form of an outwardly bulging portion or pocket 6, preferably exteriorly screwthreaded, as shown at 9, for connection with one end of a corresponding pipe.
In the practice of the method, water is preferably first forced or pumped through the same whereby it will be collected in the lower portions of the outwardly bulging portions or pockets 6, forming a series of water puddles 10 which are connected and form in efiect a continuous lower supporting stratum of water. The outwardly bulging pockets 6 prevent this lower stratum of water from flowing or moving longitudinally within the pipe. The oil to be passed through the pipe is now fed into the same, and floats upon the lower continuous stratum of supporting water 10, whereby the oil is allowed to pass with the least friction. It is thus apparent that the oil is passed over a plurality of stationary bodies of water, arranged in the bottom of the conduit or pipe, such bodies of water being more or less collected.
In conveying some oils containing a high amount of water, it is not necessary to first fill the pockets 6 with water, as the same will be filled with the water carried by and precipitated from the oil. However, in each case, the pockets become filled with the water, forming in effect a continuous lower supporting stratum of water, over and upon which the oil floats while passing longitudinally through the pipe.
Having described the claim 1. The method of conveying oil, which consists in passing the oil over a relatively stationary track of water held in the bottom of a conduit.
2. The method of conveying oil, which consists in passing the oil over a plurality of more or less connected relatively stationary bodies of water held in the bottom of a conduit.
3. The method of conveying oil, which consists in passing the oil over a plurality of relatively stationary bodies of water held in a conduit.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
MILO D. LOOMAN.
