Good morning everyone To Bobs Questions:
1. We mesured out 7 gal and put it in the press,as it seems to compress
about30%.
2. We let it soak for about 2 hrs with a quick stir every hour to make
sure the
portland saturates all the paper fiber.
3. I would have to re count but over 50 3/16 holes
4. Pipe insulation getting wet, All high pressure sour gas (H2s)have a
heat shrink membrain around them same idea as electial heat shrink
tubes but split and in sheets for larger
pipe.We will wrap it with it and use a electric industrial heat gun and
its good to go.This is the bigest problem up here with the piplines
other than the idiots shooting at them,there are thousands of these
risers all over Alberta and B.C.that have this problem so
this might be the solution.
I will go and open our company this week (Renagade Pipline Protection
Systems ltd.)We have to do a mix today its -22c out , have the mixer
inside will fill it up and make a trip around outside and right back
inside will use hot water shouldn't freeze that quick then. We have
made forms out of old clean 45 gal drums cut in half ,weleded 3 in angle
iron on sides and will incorperate a stacking system into them 3
high.Will post some pics
tonight.
Hope this helps
Thanks for the info Clair, that makes it much clearer to me. I've been
thinking of making 3x3x12" bricks, using a 20' 4x4 metal tube. I would
like to make a large funnel on one side with a sliding door at the
bottom of the funnel. I invision putting in enough papercrete behind a
3x3 sliding plug probably made from wood, then putting in a divider and
a press ram behind that. Compress that first batch and refill the funnel
and repeat the process, all the while keeping 20 foot of 3x3 bricks
compressing until the first one comes out the other end (which will have
a removeable plug or lock on it) My idea is to make concrete bricks
first or at the same time maybe one concrete and then one papercrete.
Until I have enough concrete to lay the first course, which would be a
single wall 1 foot high, skip over 6" and lay another single wall 1 foot
high, this would leave a 6" void between the two 1 foot walls which
could be filled with papercrete (or cellouse insulation) the two
3"wx3"dx12"h walls would be capped with a solider course to tye the two
together. Papercrete bricks would be laid on top of this in the same
fashion also tyed with a solider course every sixth course. I think I
would also like to lay 1/2 rebar horzional in the first course then
every sixth course. All this dreaming and it probably won't work, but at
least it is food for thought.
