Abstract
The invention concerns a flexible tube (1) comprising a corrugated pipe (2) around which are mounted a pressure resistant braid (9) of tubular shape made of an adapted material as well as an outer tubular mechanical protection (13). The invention is characterized in that it comprises a tubular antifriction braid (6) arranged between the corrugated pipe and the pressure resistant braid, said antifriction braid being made of an adapted material whereof the hardness and/or the friction coefficient are lower than those of the material used for making the pressure resistant braid and at least one tubular damping layer (12) arranged between the pressure resistant braid and the outer mechanical protection.
Claims7
A flexible tube for transporting hazardous or non-hazardous fluids, comprising:
- an internal corrugated pipe around which there is attached at least one pressure-resistant braid of tubular shape made of a suitable material and an external mechanical protection of tubular shape;
- an antifriction braid of tubular shape positioned between the corrugated pipe and the pressure-resistant braid, wherein said antifriction braid is made of a suitable material of which a hardness and/or a coefficient of friction are lower than those of the material used to make the pressure-resistant braid;
- and
- at least one damping sheath positioned between the pressure-resistant braid and the external mechanical protection.
