Embodiment 1

[0067] Aliphatic polyamide resin (I) that is polyamide 11 is extruded into a tube shape (inner diameter: 6mm, outer diameter: 8mm), and then vacuum forming corrugator (vacuum forming corrugator) (manufactured by Japan "Korma" Co., Ltd. , model 120HS) to form a corrugated structure (corrugated structure part: 150mm, outer diameter of valley / peak outer diameter = 7mm / 10mm, pitch length: 3mm) (straight parts at both ends: 10mm, inner diameter of straight parts at both ends: 6mm, Outer diameter: 8mm). Next, it is irradiated with an electron beam (a dose of 250 kGy), and cut into a predetermined length (180 mm in length) by a cutter or the like. Next, put the cut tube into a heat treatment furnace (made by Japan "Espec" company, PV(H)-212), and heat-treat it (150°C x 30 minutes), thereby producing a box-in-box tube (with the above-mentioned inner diameter, outer diameter ).

Embodiment 2～6

[0068] (Examples 2-6, Comparative Examples 1-4)

[0069] Inner tubes were produced as in Example 1 except that the type of aliphatic polyamide resin, the conditions of electron beam irradiation and heat treatment, etc. were changed as shown in Tables 1 and 2 below.

[0073]

[0074] Using the tank tubes of Examples and Comparative Examples obtained in this way, each property was evaluated according to the following criteria. These results are shown together in Table 1 and Table 2 above.

[0075] (breaking pressure)

[0076] (initial room temperature (23°C))

[0077] Fill the tube in the box with silicone oil as a pressurized medium, use the test pipe to plug both ends of the tube in the box, and conduct a pressure test at room temperature (23°C) at a pressure increase rate of 1.0MPa / min to measure the rupture of the tube in the box Or the pressure when the test pipe is disconnected (destroying pressure).

Abstract

Disclosed is an in-tank tube with superior pressure resistance performance. A monolayer structure automobile fuel in-tank tube (1) is disposed within a fuel tank (2), and comprises a configuration of absorbing the displacement of the fuel tank (2) and the oscillations of a fuel pump (5). The automobile fuel in-tank tube (1) is formed in a monolayer structure from a resin material, the primary constituent thereof being an aliphatic polyamide resin, said in-tank tube (1) further comprising a pressure-resistant characteristic (X) described hereinafter: (X) The pressure at the time the in-tank tube breaks or comes apart from test pipes, i.e., the breakage pressure, is greater than or equal to 2.8MPa, when the in-tank tube, after immersion in testing fluid [Fuel C: Methanol = 85:15 (based on volume)] for 168 hours at 80 degrees C, is then filled with silicon oil as a pressurizing medium, and a pressure resistance test is carried out at room temperature with both ends of the in-tank tube blocked with the test pipes, at a pressurization speed of 1.0MPa / min.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an automotive fuel tank inner pipe (hereinafter referred to as "tank inner pipe" as appropriate) which is arranged in a fuel tank and has a corrugated structure for absorbing displacement of the fuel tank and vibration of a fuel pump, etc. its method of manufacture. Background technique [0002] Generally, in the fuel piping system of an automobile, there is formed a mechanism for extracting and supplying fuel (gasoline, gasohol (gasohol, gasoline plus ethanol), etc.) required for running the engine from the fuel tank at any time. At this time, the above-mentioned fuel is pumped out by a pump (referred to as a fuel pump) which is always located in the fuel tank. Furthermore, in the above-mentioned fuel tank, a hose (hose) connected to the fuel pump is called an in-tank tube, and this hose is always located in the fuel tank similarly to the above-mentioned fuel pump. [0003] it's here, figure 1 The condition inside t...
