METHOD OF MANUFACTURE FOR FLUID HANDLING BARRIER RIBBON WITH POLYMERIC TUBES

摘要

A method for making fluid handling structures, made by positioning multiple polymeric tubes (12) spaced apart by at least 1 1/2 tube diameters measured center-to-center on a sheet of foil (14) made of metal (20), with plastic (22) on at least the side facing the tubes (12), adding another such foil (14) to bond on the other side thereof, and heating the resulting assembly, either before or after adding the second layer of foil, to bond it into a structure with spaced apart tubes (12) encapsulated in foil (14) on both sides.
