PCT No. PCT/AU96/00585 Sec. 371 Date Mar. 13, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Mar. 13, 1998 PCT Filed Sep. 16, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO97/10093 PCT Pub. Date Mar. 20, 1997A sizing sleeve for controlling the diameter of plastic tube includes pressurized sizing sleeve portions in which fluid is injected under pressure about the tube circumference to form a lubricating layer. Drainage zones axially separate and isolate adjacent pressurized portions to allow independent temperature and pressure control. Each pressurized portion has flow stabilizer reducing variations in flow responsive to changes in the lubricating layer pressure. The flow stabilizer may comprise a high pressure fluid source and high pressure drop constrictor comprising fine apertures, which may be formed as grooves milled into end surface of abutting sizing sleeve segments. |
