Hume pipe

Japanese: ヒューム管 - ひゅーむかん(英語表記)Hume pipe
Hume pipe

A reinforced concrete pipe that uses centrifugal force to compact the concrete, invented in 1910 by Australian WR Hume. Hume pipes include external pressure pipes that are designed only for external pressure, internal pressure pipes that are designed for both external and internal pressure, and thrust pipes. There are three types of external pressure pipes: Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3, and the high strength required for Type 2 and Type 3 pipes is ensured by chemical prestress (applying stress in advance through chemical treatment) using expansive materials.
