A double-walled pipe is a secondary contained piping system. It is a pipe within a pipe, or encased in an outer covering, with an annulus (interstitial space) between the two diameters. The inner pipe is the primary or carrier pipe and the outer pipe is called the secondary or containment pipe. The great majority of double-walled piping applications involve wastewater, groundwater, and process safety.〔Basta, Nick (Double up to contain leaks ) Chemical Processing, Putman Media, Inc.; 20 Dec 2004; accessed Jan 2010〕 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards, published in 40 CFR Parts 280 and 281,〔( 40 CFR § 280.41 )〕 mandate double-walled piping for many below-ground transport systems in wastewater treatment plants and at sanitary or hazardous-waste landfills or remediation sites. These and other regulations affect below-grade transport of hazardous materials in fuel storage systems, tank farms,〔Woodside, Gayle - Hazardous materials and hazardous waste management - page 222, Second Edition 1999, John Wiley and Sons; 477 pages〕 drainage or runoff from process plants, and some food-processing and related applications. Double-walled containment systems are also used for certain classes of toxic or corrosive chemicals, mostly gases, used in semiconductor fabrication.〔Center for Continuous Process Safety, New York, NY (Continuous monitoring for hazardous material releases ) , John Wiley & Sons, added to ScibD 28 October 2009; 104 pages〕〔Hairston, James E. (Underground Storage Tanks (USTs) And NPS Pollution ) Alabama Cooperative Extension System; ANR-790-4.8.3, June 1995; accessed 2010〕〔Frankel, Michael - Facility Piping Systems Handbook: For Industrial, Commercial, and Healthcare, Chapter 2.46, Third Edition, McGraw Hill, Copyright 2010〕 Double-walled pipes may also be used where a waste water pipe traverses a drinking water catchment area. Double-walled pipe system may use plastic pressure pipe systems materials of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC), polypropylene (PP), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), and ethylene chlorotrifluoroethylene copolymer (ECTFE). Dual-wall stainless steel tubing is most commonly used in semiconductor plants for the containment of highly toxic gases. A leak detection system in the containment pipe indicates if the carrier pipe is leaking. Double wall pipes are usually hydrostatically tested, or tested to hold and maintain a target gas pressure before the first use. A different special application of a double-walled pipe is a jacketed pipe, which is used to make high viscosity liquids flow at elevated temperature through the carrier pipe. The outer pipe circulates hot fluids that heat up the interior carrier pipe and its contents in turn. ==Notes== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Double-walled pipe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
