Internally insulated pipelines

摘要

An internally insulated, corrosion resistant pipeline (10) has an inner fluid barrier formed preferably by a polymer liner (14). The outer pipe (16) may be a steel pipe. The liner (14) is provided with a plurality of passages (18) or an open annulus. The passages (18) in the liner (14) or annulus between the pipe (16) and liner (14) are filled with an insulation material (20). <IMAGE>
