A flexible pipe of the unbonded type is described. The pipe comprises a carcass surrounded by an inner sealing sheath defining a bore, and a plurality of armor layers surrounding the innermost sealing sheath. The plurality of armor layers comprises from the innermost sealing sheath and out a first tensile armor comprising at least one first tensile armor layer comprising a plurality of elongate armor elements helically wound with a winding angle of about 55 degrees or less, a pressure armor comprising at least one pressure armor layer comprising at least one elongate armor element helically wound with a winding angle of about 65 degrees or more, and a second tensile armor comprising at least one second tensile armor layer comprising a plurality of elongate armor elements helically wound with a winding angle of about 55 degrees or less. |
