A FLEXIBLE PIPE

摘要

A flexible pipe having a length and comprising a tubular sealing sheath (5) surrounding an axis and defining a bore, at least one pressure armor (4) and at least one tensile armor comprising one or more layers (2,3). The pressure armor (4) and the tensile armor (2,3) are in a preferred embodiment non-bonded relative to each other. The pressure armor (4) comprises a sandwich structure comprising a polymer structure (4b) and a first and a second strength imparting layer (4a,4c) arranged on either side of said polymer structure (4b) and locked or bonded to the polymer structure (4b). The flexible pipe has a high strength and can be manufactured in a cost effective manner.
