Abstract
In a method of securing tensile reinforcement elements (7) of a pipeline or a cable to an end termination (18), the end termination is provided with a plurality of locking holes through which the reinforcement elements to be secured are pulled. Insertion of a spreader element into the reinforcement element results in a local cross-sectional increase in the tensile reinforcement. The reinforcement element cannot move freely through the locking hole because of the local cross-sectional increase, thereby achieving mechanical locking.
Claims21
A termination in combination with tensile reinforcement elements of a cable or a pipeline,
- wherein said termination is provided with a plurality of locking holes in which the tensile reinforcement elements are locked be means of a local cross-sectional increase of the tensile reinforcement elements,
- at least one of said locking holes being formed by a single hole with at least two hole sections, and
- a first hole section of the at least two hole sections has a larger diameter than a second hole section of the at least two hole sections.
A termination in combination with tensile reinforcement elements of a cable or a pipeline, wherein said termination is provided with a plurality of locking holes in which the tensile reinforcement elements are locked, said tensile reinforcement elements being locked in the locking holes by means of a local cross-sectional increase of the respective tensile reinforcement elements.
