Method and device for controlling the deformation of an uncoiled metal pipe

摘要

The present invention relate to a device and to a method for handling a pipe (1) comprising at least one metal tube plastically wound on a drum (2). The invention comprises an adjustable straightening system (5) controlled by at least one series of means (6, 7) for measuring the stresses present in the material of the tube once unwound from the drum. The present invention can be used for floating supports intended for offshore laying of uncoiled rigid tubes or for units referred to as “coiled tubing” used in oil wells for drilling or well servicing.
