Problems solved by technology

Adjustment of the machine often requires re-feeding the tape from the reel of the armoring machine through the support disc (also known as re-threading) and onto the guide plate, which can be a long and tedious process
More seriously, if undetected, tile areas can compromise the integrity of the pipeline, which may increase the risk of the pipeline in service such as leaks, explosions, implosions, and / or other problems

Embodiment Construction

[0017] The present embodiment is described with reference to the drawings, in which like elements are denoted by like numerals. The relationship and function of the various elements of the invention may be better understood from the following detailed description. However, embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the embodiments shown in the drawings. It should be understood that in some instances, details not necessary to an understanding of the invention have been omitted, such as conventional fabrication and components.

[0018] figure 1 is a diagram showing a perspective view of an assembly 100, which is part of an armoring machine. While aspects of the present disclosure may be scaled such that they are applicable to any size machine and / or to any armoring application (e.g., armoring a different elongate body, such as a cable), embodiments herein are generally described as An armor structure is formed around the pipe 102, which may be sized for use in t...

Abstract

An assembly for an armoring machine may include a support disk, the support disk defining a central opening for receiving a pipe and a plurality of perimeter openings for receiving a plurality of strips, and the support disk being rotatable about a longitudinal axis passing through the central opening. The assembly may further include a guide plate surrounding the longitudinal axis and including aplurality of guide structures, the guide structures being positioned for receiving the strips as they move downstream from the support disk. The assembly may further include an actuation device thatis mechanically coupled to the guide plate, where actuation of the actuation device causes rotation of the guide plate with respect to the support disk.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 633,989, filed February 22, 2018, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present embodiment generally relates to a machine for forming an armor structure around the outer diameter of a tubular member, such as a pipe, to enhance strength, burst pressure, and other properties. Background technique [0004] In some industries, such as oil and gas, pipelines are commonly used to transport and / or store fluids. Flexible conduits may be desirable because of their versatility of use in a variety of locations and ease of installation. For example, flexible pipelines are often used to extract oil and gas from deep water to the surface. Another use is to provide passage for hydraulic systems, power cables, control lines, fiber optic cables, etc. Despite their advantages, flexible pipes oft...
