  • Patent number: 10711925
    Abstract: A high-pressure pipe comprises an inner liner (1), an outer coating layer (6) and a reinforcement layer (2, 5) positioned between the inner liner and the outer coating layer. The reinforcement layer has helically wound strips (2, 5) which each comprise a matrix (4) and fibers (3) embedded in the matrix; the fibers consist of a multitude of twisted high-strength filaments. With an aim of providing a relatively high bending flexibility, the filaments of a fiber are sized filaments obtained by subjecting the filaments to a sizing operation.

  • Publication number: 20110101686
    Abstract: A coupling construction includes a coupling (1) and at least one high-pressure pipe (2) connected to the coupling. The high-pressure pipe includes an external revetment layer (3), a reinforcement layer (4) as well as an internal liner (5). The coupling furthermore includes a load transfer element (9, 10) which engages the external revetment layer (3), as well as a sealing (6, 14) which engages the liner (5). The reinforcement layer (4) includes a braided material (7, 8) whereby the external revetment layer (3) engages the braided material (7, 8) in such a way that shear forces can be transferred in a reliable way. A further advantage is that the load transfer element (9, 10) of the coupling (1) is positioned only on the outside of the pipe (2), as a result of which the internal volume of the pipe is free of flow restrictions.
