Abstract: An attachment fitting and a method for connection to a tubular duct comprising at least one ply of armors, the armors having a free end respectively defining an outer surface, the attachment fitting comprising a bushing and a sleeve having an attachment part and a connection part with a reception portion, the sleeve being mounted on the duct by spreading the free ends of the armor perpendicularly to the reception portion, the armors comprising a widening device, the bushing being mounted about the connection part and forming an annular chamber for receiving a flow of a mass-curing material for encapsulating the free ends of the armors. The widening device connected to the free outer surface of the free ends of the armors.

Abstract: A curvature limiter for a hydrocarbon transferring subsea system comprising a flexible tubular member through which an intermediate portion of the flexible hydrocarbon pipe passes. The flexible tubular member has a plurality of successive, substantially cylindrical sections which are hingedly mounted with respect to each other. At a predetermined maximum displacement thereof, the tubular member defining a mean plane in such a way that the flexible tubular member forms a mean curvature having the predetermined curvature radius of this mean plane.

Abstract: A device for monitoring the integrity of a flexible pipe used for transporting a pressurized fluid in a terminal end-fitting. The pipe includes an internal pressure sheath, plies of tensile armor wires and an outer sheath fastened to the end-fitting. A device monitors the change in a phenomenon associated with a failure of the armor plies as a result of a fracture of several tensile armor wires inside the end-fitting. The device detects an increase in the twist in the pipe near the end-fitting, which twist is a phenomenon of a fracture of tensile armor wires inside the end-fitting.
