A pipeline treating apparatus (600) is disclosed which has a pair of pivotally mounted housing sections (604,608) and a pair of separately pivotal nozzle frames (610, 612). A nozzle plate is mounted on each of the nozzle frames and carries a plurality of nozzles (622). A drive mechanism on the nozzle frames oscillates the nozzle plate a predetermined arcuate distance around the circumference of the pipeline so that the nozzles treat the entire outer surface of the pipeline. The housing sections and nozzle frames are separately pivotal from a removal position, to allow removal of an installation of the apparatus on the pipeline, to a operational position concentric about the pipeline for performing the treating operation.

Device for surface cleaning, surface preparation and coating applications

A pipe tape tensioner (26) is disclosed for applying tape (12) with constant tension to a pipe (14). The pipe tape tensioner (26) employs a primary roller (32) rotatably mounted on a base (34). First clutch disks (92) and second clutch disks (100) are urged against each other by clutch springs (104) to generate a frictional resistance to rotation of the primary roller relative to the base (34) to tension the tape (12) engaged with the outer surface (36) of the primary roller (32). The first clutch disks (92) are splined to the splines (58) formed on the interior of the base (34). The second clutch disks (100) are splined to the hub (96) of the primary roller (32). A cooling fluid can be employed to cool the splines and surrounding components.

Pipe tape tensioner

A brush head assembly (12) for use in a pipe cleaning machine includes a pair of end rings (26, 28). A plurality of arms (30) are pivotally connected about the second end ring (28). Cross members (44) supporting brushes (50) extend between the arms (30) and the first end ring (26). The brush head assembly (12) is adjustable to accommodate different predetermined pipe sizes by pivotal adjustment of the arms (30) and replacement of the first end ring (26).
