摘要:
The invention relates to a ship (1) used for laying flexible underwater pipes, comprising a bridge (1a) including a cavity (1b) containing: a rotary plate (3a); and a device (3'a) for the motorised rotation of the rotary plate (3a), which is secured to the supporting structure (1c, 1d) of the hull of the ship or the ship girder. The upper surface of the circular rotary plate (3a) does not extend significantly beyond the level of the horizontal surface of the bridge (1a) against which it is placed. The rotary plate (3a) includes elements (4, 4a-4b) for attaching a modular device (3, 9, 12) for the storage and handling of flexible pipes (7) by means of the winding/unwinding of said pipes.

The invention concerns an insulating tubular complex (1) characterised in that it comprises: a flexible sheath (4) and an insulating material (5) confined under vacuum between the inner wall (6) and the outer wall (7) of said sheath (4), each of said walls (6, 7) consisting of a multilayer film (10) comprising at least a barrier layer (11), preferably a metallic film and at least a plastic layer (12), preferably thermoplastic, the opposite ends in the longitudinal direction XX' of said tubular complexes being formed by said inner and outer walls sealed against each other, preferably by bonding or heat welding, said insulating material being in the form of a tube or assembled tube arcs. The invention also concerns an insulated pipe and an assembly of two coaxial pipes comprising an inner pipe (3) and an outer pipe (2), preferably underwater pipes designed for great depths, and a method for making same.
摘要:
The invention concerns a thermal insulation device for at least one submarine pipeline (1) comprising: a heat-insulating coating (31-33) enclosing said pipeline(s), said coating being covered with a protective watertight outer casing (2) and said casing (2) being made of a flexible or semirigid material adapted to remain in contact with the outer surface of said insulating coating (3) when the latter is deformed. The invention is characterized in that said insulting coating comprises a phase-change material (31) confined in at least one jacket (32) made of a flexible or semirigid deformable material (32), said jacket(s) being arranged around said pipeline(s) (1).
摘要:
The invention relates to a submarine conduit of the riser type (1), giving a connection between a floating support (2) and the bed of the sea (4). Said riser (1) comprises a rigid catenary conduit extending from said floating support (2) to a contact point (5) on the sea bed (4), characterised in that said catenary riser comprises a lower conduit section (6). The lower section (6) has a linear apparent weight in the water less than that of the remainder of the conduit (7, 8) which comprises said catenary riser (1).
摘要:
The invention relates to a method for connecting cables of a pipeline unit section to be vertically joined to a subsea pipeline for transporting fluids, comprising: positioning, around a low end of the pipeline unit section (40), a female annular connector (2) to which cables (14) extending along said pipeline unit section are connected; positioning, around a high end of the pipeline (42), a male annular connector (24) to which cables (32) extending along said pipeline are connected; and connecting the male and female connectors by sliding them vertically towards each other during the joining of the pipeline unit section to the pipeline.
摘要:
The invention concerns a cylindrical connector (1) designed to connect two elements (2) of a set of at least two axial pipes, comprising an outer pipe (21) containing an inner pipe (22) delimiting an annular space (23) containing preferably an insulating material (24). The invention is characterized in that the stamped connector forms two annular cavities (4) and (6) delimited by forking branches at each end of said connector which enable the stresses and strains to be reduced to a minimum at the connecting zones between the two connectors at the end of two lengths of coaxial pipes to be connected and between each pipe length and each connector at their ends.
