The invention discloses an electromagnetic inductive welding method of a steel-plastic compound pipe, which belongs to a pipeline connecting method. The traditional methods can not realize welding of steel-plastic compound pipes of all specifications. In the method, firstly, the steel-plastic compound pipe is inserted into a connecting port of a pipe fitting; secondly, a steel pipe layer of the steel-plastic compound pipe in the inserting position is heated by an electromagnetic inductive heater to fuse plastics on both sides of the steel pipe layer; and finally, the plastics are cooled to realize welding of the steel-plastic compound pipe and the pipe fitting. Because the steel-plastic compound pipe is inserted into the connecting port of the pipe fitting at first, and then the inserting position is heated for welding, the method is easy. The structures of the pipe fitting and the pipe are not changed, and thus the pipe is easy to be manufactured. The method is suitable for welding of steel-plastic compound pipes of all specifications and the pipe fitting, and is easy to realize double-face seal. In case of water leak or water seepage caused by bad welding quality, the inserting part can be heated again for improvement.

A pipe structure comprising a length of a flexible pipe connected to an end fitting, the flexible pipe comprising an armour layer and an underlying pipe layer the armour layer, the underlying pipe layer having an outer surface around which armouring wires of an armouring layer are helically wound. The pipe structure provides a coupling between a flexible pipe comprising armouring wires and an end fitting, the coupling exerting a relatively low bending or flexure strain on the wires during normal operation of the flexible pipe. The transition path of an armouring wire between the flexible pipe and the end fitting comprises a straight-line-section between a wire-pipe-exit-point where the wire extends away from its underlying pipe layer and a straight-line-end-point on a support unit of the end fitting where the armouring wire in question has its first tangential point of contact. This has the advantage that in a loaded situation where the armouring wires will elongate elastically leading to a change in the helical angle of the armouring wires, the pipe structure will experience a slight twist and a controlled bending of the armouring wires on the surface of the support unit (due to a possible change in the base point of contact of the armouring wire with the support unit induced by the change of helical angle), thereby avoiding substantial bending of the individual armouring wires, which is of particular importance when the armouring wires are formed of a composite material. The pipe structure may be used in flexible pipes for the off shore transport of fluids (e.g. oil).

The invention relates to a pipe structure (10) comprising a length of a flexible pipe connected to an end fitting, the flexible pipe comprising an armour layer (11; 19) and an underlying pipe layer (12; 11) to said armour layer, said underlying pipe layer having an outer surface around which armouring wires (111; 191) of an armouring layer are helically wound. The object of the present invention is to provide a coupling between a flexible pipe comprising armouring wires and an end fitting, the coupling exerting a relatively low bending or flexure strain on the wires during normal operation of the flexible pipe. The problem is solved in that the transition path of an armouring wire between the flexible pipe and the end fitting comprises an straight-line-section (194) between a wire-pipe-exit-point (195) where the wire extends away from its underlying pipe layer and a straight-line-end-point (196) on a support unit (15) of the end fitting where the armouring wire in question has its first tangential point of contact. This ahs the advantage that in a loaded situation where the armouring wires will elongate elastically leading to a change in the helical angle of the armouring wires, a pipe structure according to the invention will experience a slight twist and a controlled bending of the armouring wires on the surface of the support unit (due to a possible change in the base point of contact of the armouring wire with the support unit induced by the change of helical angle), thereby avoiding substantial bending of the individual armouring wires, which is of particular importance when the armouring wires are formed of a composite material. The invention may be used in flexible pipes for the off shore transport of fluids (e.g. oil).
