Method and apparatus for applying a coating material to a pipe

摘要

The invention relates to a method and apparatus for wrapping pipe with a cementatious material wherein the wrapping strip is provided with notches along the edges thereof which interlock along the wrapping seam about the pipe to provide an even coating. Where reinforcing mesh is provided within the coating material the mesh also overlaps at the wrapping seam to give greater strength to the coating. Compacting of the coating material is accomplished after the pipe is wrapped by means of a vibrating shoe.
