TUBETEX GAS
THE SEAMLESS WOVEN TEXTILE LINER FOR GAS PIPES
NordiTube has over 30 years of experience in the rehabilitation of gas pipes with TUBETEX GAS.
Three decades of experience and many hundreds of kilometers of rehabilitated pipes underline the maturity of TUBETEX GAS.
PERFECT SOLUTION FOR GAS MAINS
TUBETEX GAS is a CIPP liner for trenchless pipe rehabilitation especially developed for gas mains.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
TUBETEX GAS can be produced in a seamless production up to 500 – 600 m. The limitation occurs only due to the capacity of spools. Therefore, there is no seam in the woven fabric which means an even wall thickness over the circumference. This is an important feature for Class C linings which relies on bonding, especially for gas pipes.
TUBETEX GAS liner consists of a woven textile liner, having on one side an hytrel coating which is the new inner pipe surface. Using a special epoxy resin system, the uncoated face of TUBETEX GAS is entirely bonded to host pipe.
TUBETEX GAS is an adhesive-backed hose renovation technique. It is an interactive system relying on the bonding with the host pipe and is classified as “Class C” according to ISO 11295.
