Description

Descrizione dell'invenzione industriale Description of the industrial invention

La presente invenzione si riferisce a una guaina flessibile di PVF3 e alla sua applicazione ai flessibili metallici. The present invention relates to a flexible sheath of PVF3 and its application to metal hoses.

E' d'uso corrente utilizzare dei flessibili per l'estrazione del petrolio e di gas nel mare. Questi flessibili sono costituiti da un tubo flessibile interno d'acciaio, da una guaina di materia plastica la cui funzione è quella di assicurare l'impermeabilità ai petroli e ai gas e da armature metalliche. Flessibili di tale tipo sono per esempio descritti nel brevetto europeo EP 166 385. It is common practice to use hoses for the extraction of oil and gas in the sea. These hoses consist of an internal flexible steel tube, a plastic sheath whose function is to ensure impermeability to oils and gases and metal armor. Flexible hoses of this type are described for example in the European patent EP 166 385.

Come guaina termoplastica di impermeabilizzazione, si utilizzano delle poliammidi che risultano adatte quando la temperatura di estrazione dei fluidi non è superiore a 80-100°C. As a thermoplastic waterproofing sheath, polyamides are used which are suitable when the extraction temperature of the fluids is not higher than 80-100 ° C.

A una temperatura più alta, per esempio fino a 130 o 140-°C, si utilizza il polifluoruro di vinilidene. Ma questo polimero essendo semi-cristallino e la sua rigidità elevata, la sua utilizzazione come tal quale non risulta possibile in una struttura destinata ad essere arrotolata e disarrotolata a una temperatura molto bassa senza aver fatto ricorso ad una plastificazione interna o esterna. At a higher temperature, for example up to 130 or 140- ° C, vinylidene polyfluoride is used. But this polymer being semi-crystalline and its high rigidity, its use as such is not possible in a structure intended to be rolled and unrolled at a very low temperature without having resorted to internal or external plasticization.

Un esempio di plastificazione interna viene fornito nel brevetto EP 166 385 citato in precedenza; si copolimerizza il fluoruro di vinilidene con un monomero fluorurato. Si aumenta così la flessibilità della guaina ma si diminuisce generalmente la temperatura di utilizzazione, si aumenta la sua permeabilità ai gas e si constata una sensibilità aumentata (in riferimento all 'omopolimero) allo scoppio ad una rapida decompressione rendendo la sua utilizzazione pericolosa per certe temperature e pressioni di esercizio elevate. An example of internal plasticization is provided in the patent EP 166 385 mentioned above; vinylidene fluoride is copolymerized with a fluorinated monomer. The flexibility of the sheath is thus increased but the temperature of use is generally decreased, its permeability to gases is increased and an increased sensitivity (in reference to the homopolymer) to bursting and rapid decompression is observed, making its use dangerous for certain temperatures. and high operating pressures.

L'utilizzazione di plastificanti esterni viene citata nei brevetti francesi 2.560.884, 2.592.655 e 2.618.791. The use of external plasticizers is mentioned in French patents 2,560,884, 2,592,655 and 2,618,791.

Certi plastificanti rendono possibile l'utilizzazione del PVDF omopolimero nella preparazione di flessibili mediante ammorbidimento. Ma in servizio, è stato constatato che la guaina recupera a poco a poco la sua rigidità originale per allontanamento del plastificante generalmente poco compatibile con il PVDF. Non solo la rigidità aumenta, ma egualmente compare di fatto la formazione di tensioni interne dovute all'allontanamento del plastificante e la tendenza alla ritrazione impedita della guaina. Certain plasticizers make it possible to use homopolymer PVDF in the preparation of hoses by softening. But in service, it was found that the sheath gradually recovers its original stiffness due to the removal of the plasticizer, which is generally not very compatible with the PVDF. Not only does the rigidity increase, but also the formation of internal tensions due to the removal of the plasticizer and the tendency to prevented retraction of the sheath also appears.

E' stato trovato che tutti questi inconvenienti dovuti alla necessaria plastificazione interna o esterna del PVDF sono soppressi mediante l'utilizzazione di un polimero comprendente delle unità trifluoroetilene . It has been found that all these drawbacks due to the necessary internal or external plasticization of the PVDF are eliminated by using a polymer comprising trifluoroethylene units.

La domandante ha trovato che si possono fare delle guaine (o dei tubi) particolarmente flessibili, utilizzando un polimero comprendente delle unità trifluoroetilene. The applicant has found that particularly flexible sheaths (or tubes) can be made using a polymer comprising trifluoroethylene units.

Si ottengono così delle guaine aventi una temperatura di utilizzazione molto superiore a quelle realizzate in PVDF. inoltre, la guaina risulta più flessibile. In this way sheaths are obtained having a temperature of use much higher than those made of PVDF. furthermore, the sheath is more flexible.

Oltre al trifluoroetilene (VF3 il polimero delle guaine dell'invenzione può comprendere anche i residui di unità clorotrifluoroetilene, tetrafluoroetilene, esafluoropropene, fluoruro di vinilidene, o etilene. In addition to trifluoroethylene (VF3, the polymer of the sheaths of the invention can also comprise residues of chlorotrifluoroethylene, tetrafluoroethylene, hexafluoropropene, vinylidene fluoride, or ethylene units.

Non si uscirà dall'ambito dell'invenzione se si aggiungono delle cariche, dei pigmenti o anche un po' di plasitificanti del tipo estere o sulfonammide. It will not depart from the scope of the invention if fillers, pigments or even some plasitizers of the ester or sulfonamide type are added.

L'invenzione si riferisce anche a un tubo metallico flessibile ricoperto di una guaina secondo la presente invenzione. The invention also refers to a flexible metal tube covered with a sheath according to the present invention.

Il flessibile ottenuto è particolarmente utile per il trasporto di idrocarburi liquidi o gassosi a temperature elevate. Questo flessibile può allora essere rivestito da strati di protezione come gomme, reti metalliche o tessili. The resulting hose is particularly useful for the transport of liquid or gaseous hydrocarbons at high temperatures. This hose can then be coated with protective layers such as rubbers, metal nets or textiles.

Per il trasporto di gas, è preferito che il polimero della guaina sia essenzialmente l'omopolimero del trifluoroetilene. For gas transport, it is preferred that the sheath polymer is essentially the trifluoroethylene homopolymer.

L'invenzione si riferisce anche ai cavi ricoperti dalla guaina dell'invenzione . The invention also refers to cables covered by the sheath of the invention.

Sia i cavi che i tubi flessibili, possono essere ricoperti con questa guaina mediante un processo di estrusione. Both cables and hoses can be covered with this sheath by means of an extrusion process.

Il cavo può essere un filo metallico o un trefolo o più trefoli formanti un cavo metallico. The cable can be a metal wire or a strand or several strands forming a metal cable.

ESEMPI EXAMPLES

Attorno a un tubo flessibile d'acciaio di 32 mm di diametro costituito da spire tra le quali si trovano dei vuoti e interstizi che permettono la sua articolazione, si estrude una guaina termoplastica di 5 mm di spessore. A 5 mm thick thermoplastic sheath is extruded around a 32 mm diameter flexible steel tube consisting of coils between which there are voids and interstices that allow it to be articulated.

Allo scopo di comparare l'attitudine all'arrotolamento dei differenti materiali costituenti la guaina, si opera nel seguente modo: In order to compare the rolling capacity of the different materials making up the sheath, we operate as follows:

Il tubo inguainato viene posto su due supporti .fissi. Si appoggia a equidistanza dai punti di appoggio un rullo curvato di 75 mm di raggio. Si applica sul rullo la pressione necessaria per deformare il tubo inguainato e per dargli il raggio di curvatura del rullo. The sheathed tube is placed on two fixed supports. A curved roller with a radius of 75 mm is placed equidistant from the support points. The necessary pressure is applied on the roller to deform the sheathed pipe and to give it the radius of curvature of the roller.

L'altezza dello sprofondamento del rullo indica l'attitudine alla deformazione del flessibile. La altezza massima è di 170 mm: essa corrisponde all'arrotolamento perfetto del tubo inguainato sul rullo. Se prima dell'arrotolamento perfetto del tubo inguainato vi è rottura, si considera l'altezza. Più essa è elevata,più il flessibile è adatto alla flessione. The height of the collapse of the roller indicates the deformation capacity of the hose. The maximum height is 170 mm: it corresponds to the perfect rolling of the sheathed tube on the roller. If there is a break before the perfect rolling of the sheathed pipe, the height is considered. The higher it is, the more flexible the hose is suitable for bending.

Inoltre, si effettua la prova a temperature differenti. Furthermore, the test is carried out at different temperatures.

ESEMPIO 1 EXAMPLE 1

Altezza di sprofondamelito del rullo prima della rottura (in mm - 170 mm corrispondono al massimo) Height of collapse of the roller before breaking (in mm - 170 mm correspond to the maximum)
