SWAGED PIPE FITTING SYSTEMS AND METHODS

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.

End fitting for a composite pipe
11402038 · 2022-08-02 · ·

An apparatus for terminating a composite pipe has a pipe having a liner layer surrounded by a composite layer and a pipe end. The liner layer has an extension piece which extends axially beyond the composite layer at the pipe end; a connector; an annular transition element located between the pipe end and the connector, the annular transition element having an exterior surface; and compression means.

Conduits for transporting fluids and methods of fabricating the same

A method of fabricating a conduit comprises steps of attaching a first tubular-outboard-ply-end of a tubular outboard ply to a first inner collar portion of a first collar with a second weld and attaching a second tubular-outboard-ply end of the tubular outboard ply to a second inner collar portion of a second collar with a fourth weld. The method also comprises steps of inserting a tubular inboard ply into the tubular outboard ply, threadably interconnecting the first inner collar portion and a first outer collar portion of the first collar, and threadably interconnecting the second inner collar portion and a second outer collar portion of the second collar. The method further comprises steps of attaching a corrugated inboard ply to the first outer collar portion with a first weld and attaching a corrugated inboard ply to the second outer collar portion with a third weld.

Flexible pipe and coupling therefor

Construction of a sealed connection between an elastomeric or synthetic polymer flexible pipe or hose and a metallic coupling member. The coupling member surrounds an armor layer at a free end of the flexible pipe or hose. A sealing area is defined by a recessed portion of the pipe coupling into which a sealing material is introduced. An inner liner layer of the flexible pipe or hose may extend into the sealing area where it is bonded to the sealing material. The sealing material and the inner liner layer may each be comprised of a semi-crystalline thermoplastic material. Furthermore, a reinforcement material may be provided in the inner liner layer.
