The materials and winding method of the armor structure are selected based on the pressure level of the sea area. The structural dimensions can be customized according to requirements.

It is made of high-strength stainless steel or duplex steel, withstands external pressure, and provides circumferential support for the entire pipeline. The armor structure of the pressure-bearing layer 2 is based on prior art patent application number CN200820039913.4, entitled "Structure of Armor Layer 3 in Armored Cables".
