VERFAHREN ZUM FORMEN VON ROHREN UNTER VERWENDUNG VON PNEUMATISCHEM UNTER- UND ÜBERDRUCK AN DER OBERFLÄCHE DES KÜHLDORNS.

摘要

The invention concerns a cooling plug for sizing the interior surface of thermoplastic extruded pipe. Vacuum and/or pneumatic pressure is applied at the surface of the plug. The pneumatic pressure may cause the inner wall to balloon outwardly to form bells within a mold or within an outer wall, to fit into corrugations of an outer corrugated tube, etc. The vacuum may be used to pull the inner wall back to the surface of the plug after application of pneumatic pressure.
