Method for producing insulated pipes
Described herein is a process for producing insulated pipes including providing a media pipe and a film hose continuously formed from a film or a media pipe and a jacketing pipe, wherein the media pipe is arranged inside the film hose or the jacketing pipe and a slot is formed between the media pipe and the film hose or jacketing pipe, wherein an adhesion promoter is applied to the surface of the media pipe facing the film hose or the jacketing pipe, introducing a polyurethane system at least including an isocyanate component (a) including at least one isocyanate, a polyol component (b), and at least one catalyst into the slot before the adhesion promoter is fully cured, and foaming and curing the polyurethane system. Also described herein are insulated pipes obtainable or obtained by such a process.
Pipe insulation system
A pipe insulation system has a spacer wrap, an insulation material and a cladding. The spacer wrap has an upper surface and a lower surface. The upper surface of the spacer wrap has a plurality of convex protrusions. The upper surface is positioned against a pipe. The insulation material has an inner surface and an outer surface. The insulation material is positioned exterior to the lower surface of the spacer wrap. The cladding has an interior surface and an exterior surface. The cladding is positioned exterior to the outer surface of the insulation material.
Ultra-long thermally insulated pipeline and forming method thereof
The present invention provides an ultra-long thermally insulated pipeline, which includes a working steel pipe and an outer sleeve steel pipe sleeving the working steel pipe, where an annular vacuum cavity is formed between the working steel pipe and the outer sleeve steel pipe; two ends of the outer sleeve steel pipe are tightened; and the tightened parts of the outer sleeve steel pipe are sealed with an outer wall of the working steel pipe through a plurality of sealing rings. The ultra-long thermally insulated pipeline further includes a spiral ring supporting frame which is disposed outside the working steel pipe and is in contact with a wall of the working steel pipe. The spiral ring supporting frame is made of a phase change material The present invention further provides a forming method of an ultra-long thermally insulated pipeline.
Johnston coupling with galvanic separation
A plug-in coupling has a coupling plug and a coupling socket. The coupling plug has an inner and an outer pipe piece and a first attachment flange and is connected to the first cryogenic line. The coupling socket has an inner and an outer pipe piece and a second attachment flange and is connected to the second cryogenic line. A circular annular seal on the distal end of the coupling plug is of electrically insulating form. An insulating sleeve is arranged on the outer pipe piece of the coupling plug. An insulating disc is situated between the first and the second attachment flange when the coupling plug has been inserted into the coupling socket. The plug-in coupling realizes a galvanic is separation between the coupling plug and the coupling socket.
Clamp cover and a method of use
A pipeline clamp cover has a body and a flange. The body has a front face in sealing engagement with at least one peripheral side wall such that an enclosure having a rear opening is formed. The flange is provided in sealing engagement with a bottom edge of the at least one peripheral side wall and extends outwards away from the body.

Systems and methods for thermal management of subsea conduits using a jumper having adjustable insulating elements
Disclosed are systems and methods for thermal management of subsea conduits such as jumpers that provide the ability to alternate between cooling and heat retention of production fluids within the conduit as needed depending on the phase of operation. Adjustable insulation elements are provided on the conduits so that convective heat transfer between surrounding seawater and the conduit can be allowed or reduced. A control system can activate an alarm indicating the need to adjust the insulation depending on the temperature and/or flow rate of fluids in the conduit. Conventional conduits can be retrofitted by adding adjustable insulation elements to enable thermal management.
