  • Publication number: 20220341516
    Abstract: Techniques for implementing and/or installing a system including pipe segment tubing and a swaged pipe fitting secured to the pipe segment tubing. The pipe segment tubing includes a carcass layer, an internal pressure sheath layer disposed around the carcass layer, a reinforcement layer disposed around the internal pressure sheath layer, and an outer sheath layer disposed around the reinforcement layer. The swaged pipe fitting includes a fitting body that defines a bore, an internal pressure sheath seal that seals the internal pressure sheath layer of the pipe segment tubing within the swaged pipe fitting, and a fitting jacket secured to the fitting body, in which the fitting jacket is conformally deformed around the pipe segment tubing to anchor the reinforcement layer of the pipe segment tubing in the swaged pipe fitting.

  • Patent number: 11428350
    Abstract: Techniques for implementing a system that includes pipe segment tubing and a pipe fitting to be secured to the pipe segment tubing. The pipe segment tubing includes a reinforcement strip implemented between an internal pressure sheath layer and an outer sheath of the pipe segment tubing. The pipe fitting includes an inner fitting body to be inserted between the internal pressure sheath layer and the reinforcement strip of the pipe segment tubing. Additionally, the pipe fitting includes an outer fitting body to be disposed circumferentially around the inner fitting body to define a potting cavity between an inner surface of the outer fitting body and an outer surface of the inner fitting body, in which a hole is formed through the reinforcement strip of the pipe segment tubing before the reinforcement strip is anchored in the potting cavity via cured potting material.

  • Publication number: 20130312862
    Abstract: In one aspect, the present disclosure relates to a method to manufacture an armor layer of a spoolable pipe. The method includes forming one or more laminates and wrapping the one or more laminates onto an underlying layer of the pipe. At least one of the laminates is composed of at least one reinforcement tape and at least one fabric tape. The laminates may be bonded to an adjacent laminate, thereby forming a reinforcement stack. In another aspect, the present disclosure relates to a method to manufacture an armor layer of a spoolable pipe. The method includes providing a plurality of reinforcement tapes having fibers oriented in a first direction and disposing at least one fabric tape between at least two layers of the plurality of reinforcement tapes. The fibers of the at least one fabric tape may be oriented in at least a second direction.
