    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a pipe segment for a link tube between the sea floor and a petroleum drilling rig disposed on the sea surface, wherein it consists in: providing a transport pipe segment that is resistant to open-sea conditions; disposing a female bayonet-piece around one reinforced end of the transport pipe segment; welding or otherwise bonding a narrower portion of the bayonet-piece to said reinforced end; disposing an insulator around the transport pipe segment and around the bayonet-piece; inserting the transport pipe segment into an outer wall segment; welding or otherwise bonding a narrower portion of the outer wall segment to the other reinforced end of the transport pipe segment; disposing a cover-piece around the bayonet-piece; welding or otherwise bonding the cover-piece to the outer wall segment and to the bayonet-piece; it being possible to apply tightening torque to the outer wall segment and to transmit it to the transport pipe segment.
