Testing apparatus used for cured sample liners used in rehabilitation of pipeline having sample liner exposed to pressure and UV light

A testing apparatus for onsite creation of cured sample liners necessary for confirming proper rehabilitation of pipelines, comprising:

• a testing box for curing of a sample liner;
• and
• a liner support manifold shaped and dimensioned for supporting the sample liner and for attachment to the testing box for exposing the sample liner to conditions for curing of the sample liner, the liner support manifold including a cover member and a frame coupling member between which the sample liner is mounted;
• the frame coupling member includes a plurality of elongated members coupled together at respective ends, wherein top walls of the plurality of elongated members define an upper surface of the frame coupling member and bottom walls of the plurality of elongated members define a lower surface of the frame coupling member, both the upper surface and the lower surface define respective openings such that the upper surface of the frame coupling member is shaped and dimensioned for alignment with the cover member such that the sample liner may be selectively positioned therebetween, and the lower surface is shaped and dimensioned for alignment with an open upper end of the testing box;
• wherein, and with the sample liner secured to the liner support manifold in a position between the upper surface of the frame coupling member and the cover member and the liner support manifold secured to the testing box such that the frame coupling member is between the cover member and the testing box, the sample liner is exposed to conditions for curing of the sample liner in a highly controlled manner allowing for replication of actual in-line curing processing.
