Benefits of technology

The goal of this invention is to make sure that the armor elements in a flexible pipe fitting are securely attached in a simple and fast way.

Problems solved by technology

Furthermore, it requires a significant length of time, since at least one anchorage element must be attached on each end of each armor element, by two longitudinal welds each time.

Embodiment Construction

[0057]In the rest of this document, the terms “outer” and “inner” are generally to be understood radially relative to an axis A-A′ of the pipe, the term “outer” being understood as being relatively radially further from the axis A-A′ and the term “inner” being understood as being relatively radially closer to the axis A-A′ of the pipe.

[0058]The terms “front” and “rear” are to be understood axially relative to an axis A-A′ of the pipe, the term “front” being understood as being relatively further from the middle of the pipe and closer to one of its ends, the term “rear” being understood as being relatively closer to the middle of the pipe and further from one of its ends. The middle of the pipe is the point of the pipe situated at equal distances from the two ends thereof.

[0059]A first flexible pipe 10 according to the invention is partially illustrated in FIG. 1.

[0060]The flexible pipe 10 includes a central segment 12 illustrated partially in FIG. 1. It includes, at each of the axia...

Abstract

A method for attaching at least one transverse anchorage element to an armor element intended to be housed in an end-fitting of a flexible pipe, including the following steps: the supply of an attachment device accepting an anchorage element; the bringing of an opening to face the armor element; the melting of one end of the anchorage element facing the armor element and of a region of the armor element facing the anchorage element, inside the cavity of the attachment device; the forging of the anchorage element transversely on the armor element, using the attachment device; and the formation of a weld connecting the anchorage element and the armor element.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The present application is a 35 U.S.C. §§ 371 national phase conversion of PCT / EP2018 / 059328, filed Apr. 11, 2018, which claims priority to French Patent Application No. 17 53199, filed Apr. 12, 2017, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. The PCT International Application was published in the French language.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]The present invention relates to a method for attaching at least one transverse anchorage element on an armor element intended to be received in an end-fitting of a flexible pipe. The invention also relates to a flexible pipe and a fitting method of an end-fitting of this flexible pipe.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]The pipe is in particular a flexible pipe of the unbonded type designed to transfer hydrocarbons through a body of water, such as an ocean, sea, lake or river, or to inject water for well stimulation.[0004]Such a flexible pipe is for example made according to normative documents...
