Abstract: The invention proposes a method of modernizing a flexible conduit line (50), wherein the modernization method comprises the following steps performed in at least one end fittings joint (11, 12, 13), namely, removing a check valve (16) or a plug (17) from at least one outlet port (15) of an end fitting (111, 121, 131), removing a check valve (16?) or a plug (17?) of at least one outlet port (15?) of an adjacent end fitting (111?, 121?, 131?), installing a tubular line (90) in an external position to provide fluid communication between said at least one outlet port (15) of the end fitting (111, 121, 131) and said at least one outlet port (15?) of the adjacent end fitting (111?, 121?, 131?).

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for obtaining a tensile armor configuration of a flexible conduit comprising the steps of mounting an end ring engaged with the terminal region of each wire of each tensile armor, defining an initial position, which axially displaces the end ring in opposite direction to a free end of the flexible conduit, from the initial position to an end position, so as to cause flexure in the wires of each tensile armor and securing the end ring in end position, to maintain the wires of each tensile armor flexed. The present invention also proposes a connector for a flexible conduit, said connector comprising an end ring engaged with the terminal region of each wire of each tensile armor and fixed in an end position so that the wires of each tensile armor are flexed.

Abstract: A seal set for flexible duct connector is provided. The invention is a seal assembly for a connector of flexible duct, comprising an activation flange having a contact area acting against an activation area in a seal means due to tightening of screws so as to press such seal means against a support area. According to the invention, the seal assembly comprises a support flange in which is such support zone. Thus, in case of need of an adjustment machining in the support area to assemble a seal assembly, the part to be machined is the support flange.

Abstract: The present invention proposes a connector for flexible conduit comprising an outer casing in tubular form provided with a front end and a rear end; an external sealing assembly cooperating with the rear end of the outer casing and with the flexible conduit; a closing flange attached to the front end of the outer casing and associated with a connecting flange; and an internal sealing assembly cooperating with the flexible conduit. According to the invention, the closing flange extends to a position substantially in front of the region contained below an internal tensile shield of the flexible conduit connector for flexible conduit.
