  • Fibre reinforced composites are well known in the art. Fibre reinforced composites are produced from thermoplastic polymers as well as from thermosetting polymers, which are reinforced with fibres. Fibre reinforced composites have among other things been used as reinforcement elements in pipe structures. When used as a reinforcement element the fibre reinforced composites are often in the form of strips reinforced with longitudinally oriented fibres. Such fibre reinforced
  • composites are usually produced by a pultrution method e.g. as described in US 6,872,343.

  • thermoplastic composite article by drawing a fibre bundle continuously through a melt of a thermoplastic resin, such that the bundle of fibres is fully impregnated.

  • US 6,106,944 discloses a similar method of producing a structural member with an exterior fibre- reinforced structural layer formed of a thermoplastic profile, which may be thermo-shaped by pultrusion.
  • EP 1 559 939 describes a composite tubular assembly formed by a core or tube which is reinforced by a multitape product which is wrapped in alternate non- bonded helical wraps on the core or tube. In order to obtain tapes with a desired strength, each tape is first formed by impregnating a fibrous strip with a
  • thermosetting resin and then such tapes are fed from spools to the core of the tube.
  • Each tape is composed of a plurality of superimposed thin tape strips formed of predominantly, unidirectional fibers, which are impregnated with an epoxy or another suitable bonding resin.
  • the multi-layer tapes are wrapped with a
  • thermoplastic extrusion to confine them as a unit together, such that the bonding adhesive between the tape strips is prevented from escaping from the wrap.
  • the bonding resin may be cured.
  • reinforcement elements of thermoplastic material are in many situations not very suitable for use in reinforcing flexible unbonded pipes, such pipes usually comprise a number of reinforcement layers which are not bonded to each other, and accordingly the requirement to the strength of the individual elements of the reinforcement layers are relatively high, also in consideration of the fact that such unbonded pipe normally are required to operate at high and varying pressure and temperatures.
  • Such pipes usually comprise an inner liner also often called an inner sealing sheath or an inner sheath, which forms a barrier against the outflow of the fluid which is conveyed through the pipe, and one or more
  • armouring layers on the outer side of the inner liner (outer armouring layer(s)).
  • An outer sealing sheath may be provided with the object of forming a barrier against the ingress of fluids from the pipe surroundings to the armour layers.
  • Typical unbonded flexible pipes are e.g. disclosed in WO0161232A1, US 6123114 and US 6085799.
  • unbonded means in this text that at least two of the layers including the armouring layers and polymer layers are not bonded to each other.
  • the known pipe normally comprises at least two armouring layers located outside the inner sealing sheath. These armouring layers are not bonded to each other directly or indirectly via other layers along the pipe. Thereby the pipe becomes bendable and sufficiently flexible to roll up for transportation.
  • WO 02/095281 discloses a method of manufacturing a reinforcement element for use in the manufacture of reinforcement layers for flexible pipes.
  • reinforcement element comprises a plurality of relatively thin strength imparting cured layers fixed to each other by intermediate layers of thermoplastic material. Immediately after the strength imparting layers have been fused with the thermoplastic material, the reinforcement element is applied onto the flexible pipe. The thermoplastic material will be in a molten state, which makes it possible to bend and shape the reinforcement element to the desired curvature with substantially no mechanical stress.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a novel fibre reinforced element which has a high residual strength in particular when wound on a flexible pipe and is simultaneously relatively simple to produce and to apply in the production of an unbonded flexible pipe.
  • the inventor of the present invention has found that by producing a curved at least partly cured fibre reinforced element, i.e. at least partly cured prior to its use, the curved at least partly cured, elongate fibre reinforced polymer element can be applied in the production of the flexible pipe, without causing any substantial tension and stress in the reinforcement element due to winding around the pipe.
  • the fibre reinforced element was subjected to a curvature tension and torsion tension which put the fibre reinforced element in a state of stress which eventually reduced the strength of the fibre reinforced element. For thin strips of a fibre reinforced element it was observed that the resulting tension could be reduced at least to some degree.
