摘要:
The invention relates to the installation of chains of measurement sensors on a flexible cylindrical tube (TB). The chains comprise multiple elongate sensor housings, electrically connected to one another by connecting cables. Each housing has two ends, in the elongation direction, connected to an upstream connecting cable and a downstream connecting cable, respectively, the upstream cable and the downstream cable mainly following two parallel helical paths (Ha1, Hb1), separated at the points of connection to the housing by a distance D other than zero in the direction of the axis of the tube. The housing is placed between the two cables and arranged with the elongation direction thereof parallel to the axis of the helical paths, which is the axis of the tube. The sensors of one chain are located on a single generatrix of the cylindrical tube and, if there are a plurality of chains, said sensors are positioned on a plurality of generatrices (G1, G2, G3). The sensor housings and the cables are placed in recesses and grooves provided in the periphery of the tube.

The invention concerns a method and a facility for producing a flexible instrumented pipe (10). Said facility has an entrance (50) opposite an exit (52) in order to be able to pull through a tubular structure (54) comprising a support sheath made from polymer material having a free cylindrical outer surface, said facility comprising a movable storage support (60) capable of storing at least one optical fibre sensor (64), so as to be able to wind said at least one optical fibre sensor (64) helically around said support sheath. The facility further comprises a transformation device (68) for supplying and for applying a holding sheath coaxially on said support sheath, so as to be able to hold said at least one optical fibre sensor (64) in a fixed position against said cylindrical outer surface.

The invention concerns a method for defining the curve of a tubular structure (50), comprising: -determining the inclination of first and second rigid objects (54, 56) fixed in different locations, comprising, for each object: - supplying two accelerometers (A 1 ,...AN) linked to the object and measuring an acceleration in at least one direction of measurement (vj), the respective directions of measurement of the accelerometers being non-colinear; - measuring the terrestrial gravitational field components along said directions of measurement; - solving the matrix equation to determine the inclination Φ of the object (54): -determining the curve of the tubular structure from the inclinations determined for the first and second objects.
