Pipeline cable for use under water.

摘要

A pipeline cable for use under water and comprising a number of pipelines which follow helical lines in the cable, filler material around and between the pipelines, and a protective sheath (9) surrounding the pipelines and filler material. The cable has a compression resistant core or filler material (5) and the pipelines (3,4) which by themselves are rigid, individual pipes are imbedded around the core (5) in such a way that they can move lengthwise without any hindrance from each other and from the filler material and so that, during a radial compressive stress against the sheath (9), a transfer of force can occur through the sheath and filler material to the pipelines which can then absorb the tensile stress.
