Abstract:
A duct (20) includes a polymeric duct wall (22) that circumscribes a fluid-conveyance passage (24). The polymeric duct wall (22) includes, relative to the fluid-conveyance passage (24), an inner surface (22a) and an outer surface (22b). An electrically conductive coating (26) is disposed on at least one of the outer surface (22b) and the inner surface (22a).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a garden hose (GS) with at least one cover layer. The aim of the invention is to improve the grip of the hose relative to the hand of a user and/or on a connection to a connecting element (SK) via a compression-type fitting (UM, HK). For this purpose, a relief structure (RS) is produced on an outward surface of a cover layer (M21) of the hose (GS). Said relief structure (RS) can substantially improve the haptic impression and/or, when the connection (UM) is tight, bring about an interlocking or at least semi-interlocking engagement of retaining elements (HK) of a connecting element (SK) with the relief structure (RS) and substantially increase the retaining force which prevents the hose end from accidentally slipping off the connecting element (SK).
Abstract:
A flexible pipe comprises, from the inside outward, a carcass 1 and a polymer sealing sheath 2, the carcass being made up of at least one metallic element wound in a helix. The pipe is characterized in that at least a tube 8 is laid in an annular space 9 separating the carcass from the sealing sheath, the tube comprising an injection orifice situated at one of the two ends of the pipe and a discharge orifice opening between the two ends of the pipe. The pipe is used for carrying a petroleum effluent by injecting a fluid into the tube 8.
Abstract:
La présente invention concerne une composition de caoutchouc réticulée à base d'au moins un élastomère de type terpolymère éthylène-propylène-diène (EPDM) et d'au moins un matériau à changement de phase (MCP), un procédé de préparation de cette composition et un tuyau multicouches l'incorporant. Cette composition comprend au moins 100 pce (pce : parties en poids pour cent parties d'élastomère(s)) d'au moins un matériau à changement de phase (MCP), et elle est telle que ledit au moins un MCP est dispersé dans la composition réticulée et est pourvu de moyens de protection aptes à y empêcher sa dispersion à une température supérieure à son point de fusion, laquelle composition présente une résistance à la rupture supérieure à 3 MPa et/ou un allongement à la rupture supérieur à 100 %, ces propriétés étant mesurées à 23° C selon la norme ASTM D 412.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an unbonded flexible pipe for sub sea transportation of fluids. The pipe has a length and comprises a tubular inner sealing sheath (2) defining a bore and an axis (8) of the pipe. In a pipe length section it comprises a second sealing sheath (9) surrounding the inner sealing sheath (2) and forming an annulus between the inner sealing sheath and the second sealing sheath. The annulus provides a primary maintaining passage along the length of the pipe length section with a first and a second end. The pipe comprises at least one secondary maintaining passage (5) along the length of the pipe with a first and a second end. The secondary maintaining passage is arranged with an axial distance which is larger than the axial distance of the inner sealing sheath (2). The first end of one of the primary and the secondary maintaining passages is arranged as an input end for a maintaining fluid and the first end of the other of the primary and the secondary maintaining passages is arranged as an outflow end for the maintaining fluid, and the primary and the secondary maintaining passages are in fluidic connection with each other at their second ends to provide a pathway for the maintaining fluid. The pathway for a maintaining fluid makes it possible in a simple and effective manner to keep the corrosion of elements - such as armouring elements in the annulus - relativly low, and accordingly the duration of the unbonded flexible pipe can thereby be increased.
Abstract:
In accordance with certain embodiments of the present disclosure, a process for forming a multilayered electrospun composite is provided. The process includes forming a dispersion of polymeric particles, a fiberizing polymer, and a solvent, the dispersion having a viscosity of at least about 50,000 cPs. Nanofibers from the dispersion are electrospun onto a first ePTFE layer. A second ePTFE layer is applied onto the nanofibers to form a composite structure. The composite structure is heated.

Abstract:
The invention relates to an unbonded flexible pipe comprising an internal sheath, at least one armor layer surrounding said internal sheath and a bore defined by said internal sheath, the flexible pipe further comprising a fiber sensor arranged in said bore. By arranging the fiber in the bore of the unbounded flexible pipe, new opportunities for sensing desired properties of the unbounded flexible pipe is provided. The fiber sensor may preferably be a pressure fiber sensor. The unbonded flexible pipe may preferably be an offshore pipe, such as a riser for transportation of hydrocarbons.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a drip hose, and more specifically to a drip hose in which are formed a first water pathway and a second water pathway and in which the second water pathway is partitioned into unit sections, thereby ensuring that the amount of water discharged through respective water-discharge ports is constant regardless of the water pressure generated inside the drip hose, and inducing uniform growth of crops. Further, the drip hose of the present invention reduces the unit costs of production as it is produced using just a flat plastic film and without using separate auxiliary fittings, which is to say liners and the like.
