摘要:
A hose (10) comprising a tubular body (12) of flexible material arranged between an inner and an outer helically wound wire (22, 24). The hose (10) further comprises an elongate member having opposing longitudinal edges, the elongate member being helically wound around the tubular body such that the opposing longitudinal edges of the layer are in an adjacent or overlapping arrangement, wherein each longitudinal edge includes a formation capable of interengaging with a cooperating formation on the opposing longitudinal edge.

A hose (10) comprising a tubular body (12) of flexible material arranged between an inner and an outer helically wound wire (22, 24). The hose (10) further comprises an axial strengthening means (20) adapted to reduce deformation of the tubular body (12) when the tubular body (12) is subjected to axial tension, the axial strengthening means (20) being adapted to exert a radially inward force on at least part of the tubular body (12) when axial strengthening means (20) is subjected to axial tension.
摘要:
An end fitting for terminating an end of a hose including a tubular body of flexible material arranged between inner and outer gripping members, wherein the end fitting includes: an inner member adapted to be disposed at least partially within the hose; a sealing member adapted to seal at least part of the tubular body fully around the circumference between the sealing member and the inner member; and a separate load transfer member adapted to transfer axial loads between the hose and the inner member in such a manner that said axial loads are diverted around the sealing member in order to reduce, or eliminate, the axial load on the hose between the sealing member and the inner member, and wherein the sealing member is adapted to seal against the tubular body independently of the application of axial loads between the hose and the inner member.

摘要:
This invention relates to flexible tubular conduits or pipes particularly in situations where the conduits need to withstand relatively high pressures. In such cases, the conduits are reinforced by helically wound armor which is compliant in flexure, and profiled to allow each subsequent turn to interlock with the previous turn. The invention provides a locking mechanism (8, 9) located in the axial direction of the tubular conduit comprising one or more projections (8) on one or both radial sides and a corresponding number of sockets (9) on the opposing radial sides, such that the projections (8) of one turn of the winding (10) engaging in the sockets (9) of the next turn of the winding (10), each projection (8) having an enlarged head portion (11) connected to a body by a narrow neck portion (12), and each socket having a corresponding shape to hold the projection captive in the socket, the sockets (8) and projections (9) having dimensions to allow a limited relative rotation between the adjacent turns of the winding and to resist separation, closing, and relative radial movement of the respective turns.

Methods for repairing a defect in a pipeline. In some embodiments, the method includes filling the defect with a paste such that an outer surface of the defect is substantially flush with an adjacent outer surface of the pipeline, curing the paste, manually wrapping a reinforcing material around the pipeline over the defect region for a plurality of turns, coupling the reinforcing material to the pipeline, wherein a pressure load applied to an inner surface of the pipeline is transferred through the pipeline and the paste to the reinforcing material so as to increase a safe operating pressure of the pipeline, and electrically coupling the reinforcing material and the pipeline, whereby an electrical potential in the pipeline is transmitted to the reinforcing material.
