Various embodiments of magneto-hydrodynamic connection pumps are discussed. In some cases, the pumps include: a body forming an inner channel, a first connection part on a first side of the tube, a second connection part on a second side of the tube; an anode electrode on an inside wall of the body, a cathode electrode located on the inside wall of the body at a location opposite the anode electrode, and one or more permanent magnets attached to or embedded into an outside wall of the body.

A fiber reinforced polymer rebar composition and a method of forming the rebar composition is described. The method includes the steps of feeding a first fiber and a second fiber simultaneously through a preforming guide into a resin impregnator, pulling the fibers through the liquid polymeric resin in the resin impregnator to form a resin-soaked hybrid fiber, and passing the resin-soaked hybrid fiber through a heated stationary die where the resin of the resin-soaked hybrid fiber undergoes polymerization and cross-linking.

A connection system for reinforced thermoplastic polymer (RTP) pipe includes a first pipe with a first end and a reinforced thermoset resin (RTR) coupler positioned adjacent to the first end of the first pipe. The RTR coupler has an annular body with a first socket extension extending into the first end of the first pipe and a first thermoplastic tie layer provided between the first socket extension and the first end of the first pipe. A first set of wedges is positioned around an outer surface of the first end of the first pipe, and a first flange is fitted around the first set of wedges, wherein the first set of wedges is wedged between the first end and the first flange.

A system and method for automatically jointing of reinforced thermosetting resin (RTR) pipes. For example, an automated installation of RTR joints system may have an inductor and a pig for automated in-field installation of RTR pipes. The inductor may be fitted on an outside of RTR joint. Additionally, the pig may be inserted inside the pipeline and remotely controlled to assist operators during the alignment of the pipes and subsequent joint making/welding. Through the successive inflation and deflation of pneumatic wheels placed along the pig, the pig may autonomously move inside the RTR pipeline (from one RTR joint to the other) during the installation, while also be used to apply internal pressure at specific locations of the pipe, as needed, during installation.

A reinforcing bar comprising a core is provided. The core comprises ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene fibers aligned in an axial direction and a polyethylene matrix. The ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene fibers are bound in the polyethylene matrix. A shell comprising ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene tape surrounds the core in a radial dimension.

A system for coupling pipes includes a first pipe having a tapered, spigot end; a second pipe having a tapered, spigot end; and a coupler having two tapered socket ends adapted to internally receive the respective tapered, spigot ends of the first pipe and the second pipe. The first pipe and the second pipe are made from a reinforced thermosetting resin (RTR). The coupler comprising a resistive element implanted therein and connected to electrodes extending to an exterior of the coupler. A thermoplastic material is disposed between an exterior of the first pipe and an interior of the coupler. A thermoplastic material is disposed between an exterior of the second pipe and the interior of the coupler. Upon application of electricity to the electrodes, the resistive elements are heated sufficiently to melt the thermoplastic material such that, when the heat is removed, the hardened thermoplastic material seals the first pipe and the second pipe to the coupler. A method of coupling pipes includes disposing a thermoplastic material between an exterior of a first pipe and an interior of a coupler; disposing a thermoplastic material between an exterior of a second pipe and the interior of the coupler; inserting the first pipe and the second pipe into the coupler; and applying of electricity to electrodes of the coupler such that resistive elements of the coupler heat sufficiently to melt the thermoplastic material such that, when the heat is removed, the hardened thermoplastic material seals the first pipe and the second pipe to the coupler.
