Abstract:
In one embodiment the present invention is a system comprising a feeder to feed projectiles. There is a conveyor for metering the projectiles, and that conveyor is in communication with the feeder. A pipe is in communication with the conveyor, for impelling projectiles through the pipe. In another it is use of a barrel internally lined with a helical blade for unconfined metering of projectiles to clean a gas pressurized pipe.
Abstract:
A debris removal method comprising at least any one step of varying i) flow, ii) turbulence, and iii) pressure, within a pipe gas stream. Another embodiment is a cleaning system comprising i) a viewer to view inside pipe, and ii) a turbulator associated with the viewer, to vary in a gas stream any of flow, pressure, and turbulence.
Abstract:
The present is a method to radially displace liquid liner inside a pipe, comprising flowing the liner around a distributive body placed within a pipe gas stream. As the gas streams past the distributive body, the liner coats the pipe homogeneously from top to bottom.
Abstract:
A gas stream suspension viewer for use in a pipe comprising an eye to view inside the pipe; a housing to protect the eye from debris and projectiles astern; and a projection stemming from the housing to bias the eye radially inward on gas stream application. Another embodiment is a method of any of determining pipe condition, assessing leakage, removing liquid, and removing debris, comprising inserting a viewer within a pipe gas stream.
