Estimating the term…
The invention concerns an elongated, multilayered tubular body (1) comprising an elongated, tubular inner hollow core (5), an elongated, tubular inner casing (4) and an elongated, tubular outer casing, the inner casing surrounding the hollow core, the outer casing surrounding the inner casing, the outer casing comprising at least two layers (2,3), each layer consisting of one or more longitudinally preformed, flat elongated metal strips, the preforming of the strips such that the strips have been bent helically in such, a way that the consecutive windings of the helix touch or almost touch to each other, each strip in one layer overlapping with other strips in other layers, the layers in the outer casing being bound to each other by an adhesive. The invention further concerns the use of the elongated tubular bodies in the transport of hydrocarbons as oil and/or natural gas optionally containing hydrogen sulphide and/or carbon dioxide or for the transport of gasses and/or liquids as carbon dioxide, hydrogen, water or steam.
