PROCEDURE FOR MANUFACTURING A TENSIBLE REINFORCEMENT CONFIGURATION OF A FLEXIBLE WIRE

摘要

The present invention discloses a method for obtaining a tensile armor configuration (54, 55) of a flexible conduit (50) comprising the steps of mounting an end ring (60) engaged with the terminal region (541a, 551a) of each wire (541, 551) of each tensile armor (54, 55), defining an initial position (pi), which axially displaces the end ring (60) in opposite direction to a free end (1) of the flexible conduit (50), from the initial position (pi) to an end position (pf), so as to cause flexure in the wires (541, 551) of each tensile armor (54, 55) and securing the end ring (60) in end position (pf), to maintain the wires (541, 551) of each tensile armor (54, 55) flexed. The present invention also proposes a connector (10) for a flexible conduit (50), said connector (10) comprising an end ring (60) engaged with the terminal region (541a, 551a) of each wire (541, 551) of each tensile armor (54, 55) and fixed in an end position (pf) so that the wires (541, 551) of each tensile armor (54, 55) are flexed.
