The invention concerns a flexible conduit comprising an internal gasproof undulating metal tube (1), the wall of which has helical undulations (8), the external surface of said internal tube having at least concave (10) and convex (11) rounded parts corresponding to the internal and external parts of the undulations respectively, and at least an arch (2) arranged around said internal metal tube and made up of at least a form wire (9) coiled in spires. The invention is characterised in that the arch (2) has an internal surface with helical undulation, comprising at least concave (16) and convex (15) rounded parts and the external surface of the internal metal tube is supported in its concave rounded part (10) by a convex part (15) of the arch (2) internal surface and in its convex rounded part (11) by a concave part (16) of the arch internal surface, said internal arch surface and said internal tube external surface matching in form, and the interstices (i) between the adjacent spires are small. The invention is particularly applicable to flexible conduits used in oil mining.
The present invention relates to a large flexible pipe length, with sealed metallic internal tube and more particularly a flexible pipe including an internal corrugated metal tube gas in particular.
The present invention also relates to a flexible pipe for transporting fluids at high pressure such as for example used during crude oil extraction operations from an underwater deposit. Such conduct must in particular resist the various efforts to which it is subject, such as internal and / or external pressures developed in and on said flexible pipe, and must have a some flexibility along its longitudinal axis so that it can bend without risk of breakage.
In extreme conditions of use, such as for example in arctic areas where very harsh weather conditions prevail or for the transport of liquefied natural gas, it has been proposed to use either rigid steel pipes or flexible pipes comprising a internal metallic corrugated tube, as described in FR-A-2 458 022.
Other structures are also described in WO 96/17198 or GB-A-1 486 445.
The flexible pipe described in FR-A-2 458 022 comprises, from inside to outside,
an internal metallic corrugated tube;
a metal carcass wound around the internal corrugated tube and constituted by profiled wires the winding pitch of which is in the opposite direction to the pitch of the undulations of said internal corrugated tube, this metal carcass ensuring resistance to bursting and called pressure vault;
two crossed plies of armor which ensure the tensile strength and the background effect of the internal pressure of the pipe; and
an external protective and sealing sheath.
In a variant, it is proposed to use as a pressure vault, a winding of a round wire which is housed in the hollow of the corrugations of the corrugated tube internal.
However, such conduct has many disadvantages both in terms of concerns structure only from a behavioral point of view.
To reinforce the internal corrugated tube, it is internally coated with a metallic strip spiraled flat and welded in scales or a smooth strip, the space between the corrugations of the internal tube and the strip possibly being filled with a material stuffing. It follows that we are in the presence of a substantially more rigid structure which must be wound on a large diameter drum, which is fragile during the operations of unwinding and winding during manufacturing. When the tube is not reinforced undulating by the aforementioned strip, then any momentary lengthening of the pipe, as this occurs when it is put in traction, can induce a permanent elongation of the inner tube sometimes leading to rupture. Finally, whatever the pressure vault recommended, there is a risk of ovalization of the inner tube.
In FR 1 333 402, a corrugated tube is described which does not include a vault of pressure wound in the form of turns, due to the presence of a sheath surrounding the coat and the wire placed between the grooves of the coat.
In FR 1 477 478, there is described a method of manufacturing a thin tube and of outer layers each consisting of a metallic braid. However, the report throat height on no turns is necessarily greater than 1 since in the description it is indicated that the groove-shaped hollows are relatively deep and narrow.
In any event, the flexible pipe of the prior art cannot withstand the very high external pressures which develop at great depths, of the order of several thousand meters and / or at very high internal pressures developed in the conducted during operating operations.
The object of the present invention is to remedy the aforementioned drawbacks and to propose a flexible pipe which not only is able to withstand pressures of several hundred bars operating outside and / or inside the pipe, but still being able to be used under high temperatures and in an acid medium, that is to say behave well in a corrosive environment and be suitable for specialists denominate the "SOUR SERVICE".
The subject of the present invention is a flexible pipe, of the type comprising from inside to outside, an internal metallic corrugated tube, a pressure vault obtained by winding at least one shaped wire around said internal tube, a sheath polymeric around said pressure vault, at least one layer of resistance armor tensile and an external sealing sheath, the pressure vault having a surface interior corrugated in a helix, comprising at least concave rounded parts and convex, the external surface of the internal metal tube resting in its part concave rounded on a convex part of the inner surface of the pressure vault and in its convex rounded part on a concave part of the interior surface of the vault pressure, said interior surfaces of the roof and exterior of the internal tube being in shape correspondence, and it is characterized in that the ratio of the height (h) of a corrugation (8) at the pitch (T) of said corrugation is less than 1 and greater than 0.035, the interstice (i) between two consecutive turns being weak but not zero.
According to another characteristic, the flexible pipe is characterized in that the pressure vault is made from a wire wrapped around said inner tube, each turn being of width substantially equal to a period of the undulation of the internal tube.
According to another characteristic, the flexible pipe is characterized in that the gap between two consecutive turns is located substantially plumb with a ridge of the corrugation of the inner tube.
According to another characteristic, the flexible pipe is characterized in that the gap between two consecutive turns is located substantially in line with a hollow of the corrugation of the inner tube.
According to another characteristic, the flexible pipe is characterized in that the pressure vault is made from several wires wrapped around the inner tube.
According to another characteristic, the flexible pipe is characterized in that the internal corrugated tube has undulations whose radius of curvature (R) of a crest is greater than or equal to the radius of curvature (r) of a hollow.
According to another characteristic, the flexible pipe is characterized in that the internal corrugated tube is made of a metallic material of low elastic modulus and resistant in corrosive environment.

The flexible pipe according to the invention, as shown in the Figure 1 includes, from the inside to the outside, an internal wavy tube metallic 1, a pressure vault 2, a sheath 3, generally made of material thermoplastic with a high melting point, intended to prevent flattening during strong external pressures exerted on said pipe and called by specialists as an anti-collapse sheath, two layers of cross weaves 4 and 5, the armor threads of a tablecloth making an angle less than 55 ° from the longitudinal axis A of the pipe, a strip intermediate 6 and finally an external sealing sheath 7. With the exception of the inner tube 1 and pressure vault 2 which are the subject of this invention, all the other components of the pipe are well known to specialists and will therefore not be described in detail, even if some of them, like band 6, have been improved recent, in particular by the plaintiff.
The internal metallic corrugated tube 1 referred to below as being a liner, and shown in Figures 1 to 7, is a tube metallic with corrugations 8 regularly spaced over the entire length, the periodicity of the crests of the undulations or of the valleys being defined, for reasons of convenience, by a period T, although we can also designate it by the term step which is used for windings.
The period T or not of the ripple (FIG. 2) is identified, by convention, by the projection of the ripple on the longitudinal axis A of the conduct and this because the angle of the propeller formed by the ripple is close 90 ° to the longitudinal axis A of the pipe.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the liner 1 consists of a waterproof metal tube with a minimum thickness of 0.15 millimeter and with a low helical ripple, i.e. having a height h relatively low. The shape of the ripple is defined so that allow elongation under pressure without risk of breakage, winding for a defined diameter and increase flexibility. The tests carried out shown that the radius of curvature R of a crest should be less than the radius of curvature r of a hollow (Figure 4). Preferably, the radius R must be between 1.5 and 10 times the radius r and better still between 3 and 5 times the radius of curvature r.
The pressure vault 2 consists, in a first example of embodiment shown in Figures 2 and 3, by a helical winding of a wire of shape 9 around the liner 1.
The corrugation 8 of the liner 1, seen from the outside, includes concave parts 10 and convex parts 11, the period T being equal to the distance separating two successive peaks 12 or two successive peaks 13 from said ripple 8.
The form wire 9 constituting the pressure vault 2 comprises on its inner surface 14 of the convex rounded parts 15 and of the parts concave 16. The concave parts 10 of the liner 1 are supported on the parts convex 15 of the form wire and more generally the concave parts of the liner 1 are supported on the convex parts of the inner surface of the pressure vault 2, taken as a whole and this, when the pipe flexible is straight, as shown in Figure 2.
The wire of shape 9 is wound helically, forming spiers which are spaced, the play 17 between two consecutive turns 18, 19, may be zero when the pipe is flexed. In the case of Figure 3 where the form wire 9 is rounded on the side edges 50, the clearance 17 does not correspond to the gap i whereas in FIGS. 5 to 7, the clearance is equal to the gap i because the lateral edges of the form wire are straight and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A. By interstice i, we mean the space separating two consecutive turns counted on the inner surface of the vault pressure 2.
The correspondence between the outer surface of liner 1 with the inner surface of the pressure vault, leads to determine parts bearing which have substantially geometric characteristics identical. This is how the convex portions 15 of the inner surface of the pressure vault have a radius of curvature which is equal to the radius of curvature r of the concave parts 10 of the outer surface of the liner 1.
In the case of FIGS. 2 and 3, the pitch of winding P of the wire form 9 is equal to the period T of the ripple 8 of the liner 1, and the clearance 17 between two consecutive turns 18, 19 is located opposite the crest or summit 12 ripple 8.
As can be seen in FIG. 3, the turns 18, 19 are only not completely contiguous to the upper surface (upper part of the figure), then that they are joined to the lower surface (lower part of the figure) due to the causes the flexible pipe to flex.
The shape correspondence between the outer surface of the liner 1 and the inner surface of the pressure vault 2 and because of their support on a large proportion and weak play between turns, results in that, when the pipe is flexed, the neutral fiber which is normally in coincidence with the longitudinal axis A, may move slightly towards the surface of the liner on the lower surface. We avoid or greatly reduce the risk of buckling localized in the concave and / or convex parts of the liner 1 on the lower surface. As a result, the game 17 between the consecutive turns which existed on the underside disappears and said turns are contiguous, while at the upper surface the clearance 17 increases and the liner 1 is therefore put in traction, the pitch winding and the period of the ripple increasing in turn. The convex parts 11 of the liner 1 partially peel off from the surface inside the pressure vault and work like a membrane when a pressurized fluid circulates in the flexible pipe.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the ratio of the height h of the corrugation 8 at the thickness e of the liner 1 is between 1 and 30 and preferably between 1.5 and 20 (Figure 4). In addition, the h / T ratio is less than 1 and greater than 0.05, preferably between 0.15 and 0.35. The clearance 17 between consecutive turns being low and less than 0.15 1, 1 being the width of a turn.
To prevent liner 1 from deforming under the effect of pressure internal fluid flowing in the flexible pipe and to ensure contact between liner 1 and pressure vault 2 around the entire circumference of liner 1, it is preferable to use materials with low modulus of elasticity such as certain steels, titanium, aluminum or aluminum alloys. The choice of the material must take into account the resistance to the corrosive environment.
As liner 1 is gas tight and resistant to a medium corrosive, it is no longer necessary to take into account the resistance criterion to a corrosive medium for the choice of the material constituting in particular the pressure vault 2. For the latter, just choose a material with high mechanical characteristics and which can be easily formable. Among the possible materials, mention may be made of XC 35 type steel. according to the usual standards. This is also true for the armor of traction; therefore, it is possible to considerably reduce the weight and cost of flexible driving.
Finally, due to the gas tightness obtained with the liner metallic 1, the anti-collapse sheath 3 can be made of a material less noble than that usually used in flexible pipes, the the only criterion to be taken into consideration is the temperature resistance.
In Figure 5 is shown another embodiment in which liner 1 is identical to that shown in Figures 2 to 4 but whose pressure vault 2 is made with a wire of form 20 each of which turn has two concave parts 21a and 21b located on either side of a convex part 22. Therefore, the concave parts 21a and 21b of two consecutive turns follow the convex part 11 of the liner 1, the set 17 existing between the two consecutive turns being equal to the gap i and it is located opposite the crest or vertex 12 of the convex part 11 and this, because that the lateral edges 23 of the form wire 20 are straight and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A. In addition, the width 1 of each turn is substantially equal to the period T of the ripple.
FIG. 6 represents an embodiment which is analogous to that of FIG. 5, with the difference that each turn comprises a part concave 24 which follows the shape of the corresponding convex part 11 of the liner 1, said concave part 24 being surrounded by two convex parts 25a and 25b. In this case, the gap i is located opposite the trough of undulation.
In another embodiment shown in Figure 7, the pressure vault 2 is made up of two alternating windings of forms 26 and 27 which are such that two consecutive turns 26 'and 27' are symmetrical with respect to the junction planes 28 and 28 '. The plan of junction 28 'passes through the top of a hollow in the corrugation 8 while the junction plane 28 passes through the top of the crest of said undulation, the objective being that two consecutive turns 26 ', 27' of the two windings alternate form something analogous to the single turn of Figures 5 or 6.
FIG. 8 shows another embodiment in which liner 1 is identical to the previous embodiments, while the pressure vault 2 is constituted by a winding of two wires of different shape. The first shaped wire 29 has a part 30, of concave shape matching the convex part of liner 1, and extending between two consecutive inflection points 31, 32 of a ripple. The second thread of shape 33 has a part 34 of convex shape matching the concave part liner 1 and extending between two consecutive inflection points; all wires of shape 29 and 33 can be compared to a single turn which would have a width equal to the period T of the ripple, to the nearest interstices. In this case, the interstices are located opposite the middle part 35 of the undulation between the convex and concave parts of the liner 1.
FIG. 9 shows another embodiment in which the pressure vault consists of a winding of two different wires 36, 37.
The shaped wire 36 is a round wire whose radius is substantially equal to the radius r and it is housed in the hollows of the corrugation 8.
The shaped wire 37 is more complex and it is suitable, in its central part 38 to conform to the shape of the convex part of the corrugation 8, the junction zone between the two shaped wires 36 and 37 being located substantially in line with the hollow of the ripple. The lateral parts 39 of the wire 37 must obviously correspond to round wire 36 to respect a certain homogeneity.
In all the embodiments, the consecutive turns or adjacent may have on their external surface recesses 40 which cooperate with connecting members such as clips 41 to connect between two consecutive or adjacent turns, limiting elongation excessive pressure arch (Figure 5).
To facilitate the extrusion of the anti-collapse sheath 3 on the arch of pressure 2, the latter has a cylindrical outer surface 42 when the pipe is straight, as shown in the figures.
The cylindrical outer surface 42 constitutes a good surface support for the anticollapse sheath 3.
It should also be noted that according to the invention, each armor 4, 5 surrounding the anticollapse sheath 3, is formed by the helical winding at least one ply of wire wound with a winding angle less than 55 °. Preferably, the flexible pipe comprises two plies of wound wires 4, 5 with the same winding angle but in opposite directions, said plies being themselves surrounded by a protective and sealing sheath 7 with interposition or not of a ribbon 6.
It is possible to wind the pressure vault 2 with a pair of identical wires or with two pairs of shaped wires, each of these last pairs comprising a form wire of a given section and another section shape wire that corresponds to the given section.
A preferred method of producing the 2-liner 1 pressure vault assembly consists in:
unroll, from a feed roller, a strip of great length and thinness,
passing said strip through shaping means to gradually give it the shape of a hollow cylinder,
continuously carry out, on a generator or helix, a weld between the free edges to form a sealed cylindrical hollow tube,
passing the sealed hollow tube through corrugation means, for example constituted by pressure rollers and possibly a rotating core and having a helical corrugated surface, and at
wind one or more shaped wires around the internal corrugated tube.
Such an assembly can be wound in great length on a storage coil awaiting complete completion of the hose.
Obviously, other manufacturing processes can be used. Among these, we can cite the one consisting of joining up lengths of hollow cylinders and short lengths and then form the necessary undulations on said hollow tube thus obtained before winding one or more shaped wires constituting the pressure vault.
