Benefits of technology

The invention relates to improving strength by adding an element called a part that helps protect pipes from being bent or shattered during construction work. This improvement can be useful for building structures where there are many types of stress on them caused by external forces such as impacts.

Problems solved by technology

Technological Problem: The technical problem addressed in this patented text describes how to improve the strength and durability of spiral welded thermoplastic pipings used for transportation purposes without compromise their effectiveness under severe conditions like soil loadings caused by heavy equipment movements.

Abstract

A composite strip (10) windable to form a helical pipe for transporting fluid is disclosed. The composite strip comprises: an elongate plastic strip (11) having a base portion (12), the base portion (12) having an upper side defining an outer face (15); and at least one lengthwise extending composite rib portion (20) upstanding from the outer face (15) of the base portion (12). The rib portion (20) has a distal end (23) remote from the base portion (12). The composite rib portion comprises: an elongate inboard reinforcing member (30) disposed within or adjacent to the base portion (12); an elongate outboard reinforcing (40) member disposed within the distal end (20) of the rib portion (20) parallel to the inboard reinforcing member (30); and an elongate intermediate plastic web (23) portion extending between the inboard and outboard reinforcing members (30, 40). When wound into a helical pipe, the composite rib portion (20) reinforces the pipe against radial crushing loads.
