Chapter 2—Conduit MaterialsFigure 26.—CIPP liner exiting from an existing conduit viathe hydrostatic inversion method.• The smooth interior surface reduces friction loss. Also, due to the very smoothsurface of thermoset plastic pipe, adherence of minerals (e.g., calciumcarbonate) is minimized.• Thermoset plastic pipe resists biological attack.• Typically, the need for grouting of the annulus between the CIPP liner andexisting conduit is eliminated, since it is tight fitting.The disadvantages of using CIPP lining for conduits include:• High material and installation costs.• Not suited for conduits with significant bends or changes in diameter.• Inability to accommodate internal and external loadings when the originalconduit is severely damaged.CIPP liners are generally applicable for lining of existing conduits ranging indiameter from 4 to 132 inches. Maximum lengths of CIPP liners generally range49
