Hose

The present invention relates to flexible tubing and particularly to the construction of a hose, and may be used to best advantage for operation under the conditions of high internal pressure and axial tensions in the petroleum, gas, petroleum-processing, chemical, and coal industries.

The exploitation of oil and gas wells constructions of hoses capable of operation under the conditions of high internal pressures and axial tensions. However, the existing hoses which provide for operation under the above conditions fail to offer adequate flexibility, which greatly complicates their use and transportation. On the other hand the conventional hoses which offer an adequate flexibility are incapable of operation under high axial tensions; this restricts the use of such hoses, for example rendering them completely unfit for lowering into a well or mine.

The problem of providing a flexible hose capable of operation under high internal pressures and axial tensions arose relatively long ago, but still remains to be adequately solved.

There is known in the art a hose disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,715,454. The hose comprises an internal supporting portion in the form of spaced tubular members interconnected by convolutions which are integral with the tubular members and extend radially outwardly from the latter. The convolutions have aligned recesses which define at least one groove extending the full length of the hose, each groove accommodating a reinforcing thread secured to the hose over the entire length thereof.

The hose of the above-described construction may be, depending on the amount of the reinforcing threads, employed for operation either under the action of only an internal pressure or under a simultaneous action of both an internal pressure and an axial tension. In the latter case, an additional amount of the threads is provided to counterbalance the external axial tensile forces. However, increasing the amount of the threads considerably lowers the flexibility of the hose. Thus, the above-described hose reinforced in the axial direction will be capable of operation under a simultaneous action of a high internal pressure and high axial tensile forces, offering low volume, axial, and radial deformations, and a fair durability, but at the same time will have a high specific weight, will be difficult to manufacture and costly.

When adequately reinforced in the axial direction, the hose will have but a very low flexibility. Moreover, it will be incapable for operation in a bent state, since in this case the equality of loading of the reinforcing threads will be upset and thereby the carrying capacity of the construction as a whole will be lowered. The above disadvantages considerably restrict the scope of application of this known.

Another hose construction has been proposed in the French Pat. No. 2,142,764. This hose comprises an inner supporting tube of an elastic material and an outer protective cover, between which reinforcing plies are arranged. Each of the reinforcing plies has the form of a helically wrapped metallic braid, the wrapping angle with respect to the geometrical axis of the hose varying in accordance with a certain relationship from the innermost reinforcing ply to the outermost one within the range of 80.degree. to 6.degree..

The above-described hose features an adequate flexibility and is capable of withstanding the internal pressure. However, due to the high axial and volume deformations arising in operation, especially with a pulsating internal pressure, the threads of the reinforcing ply braids rub through due to their displacements with respect to one another, which greately impairs the durability of the hose. In addition, a hose of such a construction is incapable of operation under an axial tension.

There is also known in the art a hose disclosed in British Pat. No. 1,334,025. The hose comprises an inner supporting tube of an elastic material and an outer protective cover, between which reinforcing plies are arranged. Each of the reinforcing plies is a multiplicity or set of helically wrapped parallel threads, the angle of wrapping of the threads with respect to the geometrical axis of the hose varying in accordance with a certain relationship from the innermost reinforcing ply to the outermost one within the range of 80.degree. to 6.degree., and each of the reinforcing plies being disposed between nonmetallic-fabric interlayers.

The above-described hose as well features an adequate flexibility and is capable of withstanding the internal pressure. Moreover, it offers a higher durability as against that of the hose described in French Pat. No. 2,142,764, which is due to separation of individual reinforcing plies by the nonmetallic-fabric interlayers.

Due to a nonuniform distribution of the load from the internal pressure on the threads of each of the reinforcing plies, however, the application of this hose construction is limited to only relatively low internal pressures.

In addition, operation of this hose with a pulsating internal pressure gives rise to unbalanced inter-ply torque stemming from an unequal loading and an asymetrical wrapping of the threads forming the reinforcing plies, which results in a wear of the fabric interlayer due to rubbing and consequently in a failure of the construction.

Known in the art is still another hose disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,212,528 and comprising an inner supporting tube and an outer protective cover, both of an elastic material, and reinforcing plies arranged between the supportion tube and the protective cover. Each of the reinforcing plies is a multiplicity or set of helically wrapped parallel threads (e.g., high-strength steel wires). The threads of successive plies are wrapped in opposite hands; the wrapping angle with respect to the geometric axis of the hose varies from the innermost reinforcing ply to the outermost one within the range of 51.degree. to 59.degree..

Wrapping of the threads at the angles within the above range derives from the fact that a wrapping angle close to 55.degree. provides for an equal loading of the threads from the internal pressure. A departure of the wrapping angles from this value is due to different diameters of wrapping for each of the reinforcing plies and depends on the amount of said reinforcing plies.

Each of the reinforcing plies is disposed between nonmetallic-fabric interlayers, the innermost of the interlayers being arranged directly on the supporting tube and serving for a uniform distribution of forces arising between the surface of the supporting tube and the reinforcing plies in operation.

The above-described hose offers an adequate flexibility, but is capable to withstand only an internal pressure. It may be used at a fairly high internal pressures, since the load from the internal pressure is uniformly distributed between all the reinforcing plies, and features a higher durability in operation of the hose under a pulsating internal pressure. The latter is accounted for by that the arising inter-layer torques are to a certain extent balanced due to an equal loading and a nearly symmetrical wrapping of the threads forming the reinforcing plies.

However, this hose is capable of withstanding the axial tension because wrapping of the threads which form the reinforcing plies at an angle of 51.degree. to 59.degree. to the geometrical axis of the hose fails to ensure stability of the hose cross-section under an axial tension, since it gives rise to considerable forces exerted by the threads upon the surface of the supporting tube. This upsets the equality of loading of the threads forming the reinforcing plies and consequently results in a failure of the construction.

In view of a considerable specific weight of this hose, it is apparent that it is incapable of operating even under the tension caused by its own gravity.

When this hose is used for operation under a pulsating internal pressure, there occur fairly high axial, radial, and volume deformations, which to certain extent impairs the operational durability of the hose.

The principal object of the invention is to provide a hose having reinforcing pliers of such a construction which allows the use of the hose under the conditions of simultaneous action of both the internal pressure and the axial tension while retaining the required flexibility thereof.

The object set forth is attained by that there is provided a hose comprising an inner supporting tube and an outer protective cover, both of an elastic material, as well as reinforcing plies interposed therebetween, each of the reinforcing plies having the form of a set of helically wrapped parallel threads, a non-metallic interlayer disposed directly on the surface of the supporting tube and serving to uniformely distribute the forces arising between the supporting tube and the reinforcing plies. According to the invention, there are at least two pairs of the reinforcing plies disposed one directly on the other, each of said pairs being made in the form of two sets of helically wrapped threads and the angle of wrapping of the threads of the inner pair of the reinforcing plies with respect to the geometric axis of the hose exceeding the angle of wrapping of the threads of the outer pair of the reinforcing plies.

Such a construction of the hose provides for the flexibility of the latter due to the above-specified arrangement of the pairs of the reinforcing plies and for its successful application under the conditions of a simultaneous action of both a high internal pressure taken up mainly by the inner pair of reinforcing plies with a large thread wrapping angle and high axial loads taken up mainly by the outer pair of reinforcing plies with a smaller thread wrapping angles.

The above described arrangement of the pairs of the reinforcing plies provides also for operation of the proposed hose under the conditions of a pulsating internal pressure. This stems from that in such a construction, an equal loading of the symmetrically wrapped threads which form the reinforcing plies is attained owing to a joint operation of all the reinforcing plies; this essentially completely counterbalances the inter-ply torques and thereby precludes a displacement of the reinforcing plies with respect to each other. However, this equal loading of the threads owing to a joint operation of all the reinforcing plies allows the proposed hose to be employed for operation under a higher internal pressure.

The construction of the proposed hose having at least two pairs of the reinforcing plies in one of which the angle of wrapping of the threads with respect to the geometrical axis of the hose is larger than in the other provides for low axial, radial, and accordingly, volume deformation in the course of hose operation, and hence ensures a high durability of the hose.

The absence in the hose structure of nonmetallic-fabric interlayers interposed between the reinforcing plies allows the weight, wall thickness, and cost of the hose to be reduced.

The following relations between the maximum values of the internal pressure and axial tension, which the hose can withstand in operation, and the geometrical characteristics as well as the mechanical properties of the materials of which the hose is made have been found: ##EQU1## where: P=maximum internal pressure;

N=maximum axial tension;

L.sub.1-4 =coefficients of structural nonuniformity of the hose, depending on the cross-sectional area of the hose, the amounts and wrapping angles of the threads of the inner and outer pairs of the reinforcing plies, the inside and outside diameters of the hose, the shear modulus and Poisson's ratio of the elastic material;

[.sigma..sub.1 ]=permissible tension of the threads of the inner pair of the reinforcing plies;

[.sigma..sub.2 ]=permissible tension of the threads of the outer pair of the reinforcing plies;

E.sub.1 =modulus of elasticity of the threads of the inner pair of the reinforcing plies; and

E.sub.2 =modulus of elasticity of the threads of the outer pair of the reinforcing plies.

The above relations make it possible proceeding from the internal pressure and axial tension at which a hose is to operate, to determine the required geometrical characteristics of the hose and the mechanical properties of materials to be used for its manufacture, or conversely, from the latter characteristics and properties, to determine the maximum internal pressure and axial tension which a given hose can withstand in operation.

The wrapping angle of the threads of the inner pair of the reinforcing plies is preferably within the range of 75.degree. to 90.degree. and that of the threads of the outer pair of the reinforcing plies, within the range of 0.degree. to 20.degree..

Selecting the threads wrapping angles within the above ranges imparts cross-sectional stability to the hose and thereby enables it to operate under high axial loads, ensuring at the same time the least axial, radial, and, accordingly, volume deformations in the course of hose operation.

The most reliable under the conditions of an increased internal pressure and/or increased axial loads is such a modification of the hose, wherein at least one additional pair of the reinforcing plies is disposed on the outer pair of the reinforcing plies, the angle of wrapping of each additional pair of the reinforcing plies, which is within the range of 75.degree. to 90.degree., progressively increases, whereas the angle of wrapping of the threads in each additional pair of the reinforcing plies, which is within the range of 0.degree. to 20.degree., progressively decreases with respect to the angle of wrapping of the threads in the previous pair of the reinforcing plies, which is within the same range. This change in the wrapping angles of the threads in the additional pairs of reinforcing plies, makes it possible to increase the internal pressure and axial tension which this hose can withstand on average by 6%.

It is advisable that the value of the shift of the angle of wrapping of the threads in each additional pair of the reinforcing plies be within the range of 0.2.degree. to 5.degree. and that the following relation be established between the values of the shifts of the angles of wrapping of the threads in the additional pairs:

where

.DELTA..alpha..sub.n -is the value of the shift of the angle of wrapping of the threads in the additional pair of the reinforcing plies, which is within the range of 75.degree. to 90.degree.;

.DELTA..beta..sub.n -is the value of the shift of the angle of wrapping of the threads in the additional pair of the reinforcing plies, which is within the range of 0.degree. to 20.degree..

The threads forming the reinforcing plies are preferably made of fiberglass. This will make it possible to simplify the hose manufacturing procedure as against that for hoses having steel-wire threads as well as to reduce the weight of the hose and to improve its flexibility.

The invention will now be explained by way of a description of particular embodiments thereof with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:

FIG. 1 illustrates the general view of a hose according to the invention, the hose plies being progressively broken away;

FIG. 2 illustrates a modification of the hose having three pairs of reinforcing plies, the hose plies being progressively broken away;

FIG. 3 illustrates a modification of the hose, having three pairs of reinforcing plies, the hose being progressively broken away; and

FIG. 4 illustrates a modification of the hose, having four pairs of reinforcing plies, the hose plies being progressively broken away.

Referring to FIG. 1 of the accompanying drawings, the proposed hose comprises an inner supporting tube 1 of an elastic material and an outer protective cover 2 as well made of an elastic material.

At least two pairs 3 and 4 of reinforcing plies 5, 6 and 7, 8 respectively are interposed between the supporting tube 1 and the protective cover 2. In each pair 3 and 4 of the reinforcing plies, one of the plies is disposed directly on the other, and each of said plies has the form of a set of helically wound parallel threads 9. According to the invention, each pair 3 and 4 of the reinforcing plies 5, 6 and 7, 8 has the form of two sets of symmetrically wrapped threads 9, and the angle .alpha..sub.o of wrapping of the threads 9 of the inner pair 3 of the reinforcing plies 5, 6 with respect to the geometrical axis of the hose exceeds the angle .beta..sub.o of wrapping of the threads 9 of the outer pair 4 of the reinforcing plies 7, 8. The density of wrapping of the threads 9 in each reinforcing ply 5, 6, 7, and 8 is of not less than 90%. A nonmetallic-fabric interlayer 10 is interposed between the supporting tube 1 and the inner pair 3 of the reinforcing plies 5, 6; the interlayer 10 serves to uniformly distribute the forces arising between the supporting tube 1 and the pairs 3, 4 of the reinforcing plies 5, 6 and 7, 8 in operation of the hose.

Various angles .alpha..sub.o and .beta..sub.o of wrapping of the threads 9 may be selected, but such a modification of the hose of the invention is the most preferable, wherein, according to the invention, the angle .alpha..sub.o of wrapping of the threads 9 in the inner pair 3 of the reinforcing plies 5, 6 is within the range of 75.degree. to 90.degree. and the angle .beta..sub.o of wrapping of the threads 9 in the outer pair of the reinforcing plies 7, 8 is within the range of 0.degree. to 20.degree..

The threads 9 forming the reinforcing plies 5, 6, 7, and 8 may be made of any suitable material; however, when the hose is to be used under high operating loads, such a modification is the most preferable, wherein, according to the invention, the threads 9 are made of fiberglass.

FIGS. 2 to 4 illustrate the modifications of the hose, wherein at least one additional pair of the reinforcing plies is disposed on the outer pair of the reinforcing plies.

The modification illustrated in FIG. 2 is expedient for use when the hose is to operate under a high internal pressure. In this modification, an additional pair 11 of reinforcing plies 12 and 13 is disposed directly on the outer pair 4 of the reinforcing plies 12 and 13. The angle .alpha..sub.o of wrapping of the threads 9 in the inner pair 3 of the reinforcing plies 5 and 6 with respect to the geometrical axis of the hose is within the range of 75.degree. to 90.degree. and may be equal to the angle .alpha..sub.1 of wrapping of the threads 9 in the additional pair 11 of the reinforcing plies 12 and 13. However, it is advisable that the angle .alpha..sub.1 of wrapping of the threads 9 of the pair 11, according to the invention exceed the angle .alpha..sub.o of wrapping of the threads 9 in the pair 3 by 0.2.degree. to 5.degree..

The angle .beta..sub.o of wrapping of the threads 9 in the pair of the reinforcing plies 7 and 8 is within the range of 0.degree. to 20.degree.. Thus the angles of wrapping .alpha..sub.o, .alpha..sub.1 of the threads 9 in the pairs 3 and 11 exceed the angle .beta..sub.o of wrapping of the threads 9 of the pair 4.

The modification illustrated in FIG. 3 is expedient for use when the hose is to operate under a high axial tension. In this modification, an additional pair 14 of the reinforcing plies 15 and 16 is disposed directly on the outer pair 4 of the reinforcing plies 7 and 8. The angle .alpha..sub.o of wrapping of the threads 9 in the inner pair 3 of the reinforcing plies 5 and 6 with respect to the geometric axis of the hose is within the range of 75.degree. to 90.degree.. The angle .beta..sub.o of wrapping of the threads 9 in the outer pair 4 of the reinforcing plies 7 and 8 is within the range of 0.degree. to 20.degree. and may be equal to the angle .beta..sub.1 of wrapping of the threads 9 in the additional pair 14 of the reinforcing plies 15 and 16. However, it is advisable that the angle .beta..sub.1 of wrapping of the threads 9 of the pair 14, according to the invention, be less than the angle .beta..sub.o of wrapping of the threads in the pair 4 by 0.2.degree. to 5.degree..

Thus the angle .alpha..sub.o of wrapping of the threads 9 in the pair 3 exceed the angles .beta..sub.o and .beta..sub.1 of wrapping of the threads 9 of the pairs 4 and 14.

The modification illustrated in FIG. 4 is suitable for use when the hose is to operate under both a high internal pressure and a high axial tension. In this modification, additional pairs 11 and 14 of the reinforcing plies respectively 12, 13 and 15, 16 are disposed directly one on the other directly on the outer pair 4 of the reinforcing plies 7 and 8. The angle .alpha..sub.o of wrapping of the threads 9 in the inner pair 3 of the reinforcing plies 5 and 6 with respect to the geometric axis of the hose is within the range of 75.degree. to 90.degree. and may be equal to the angle .alpha..sub.1 of wrapping of the threads 9 in the additional pair 11 of the reinforcing plies 12 and 13. The angle .beta..sub.o of wrapping of the threads 9 of the outer pair 4 of the reinforcing plies 7 and 8 is within the range of 0.degree. to 20.degree. and may be equal to the angle .beta..sub.1 of wrapping of the threads 9 in the additional pair 14 of the reinforcing plies 15 and 16.

However, it is advisable that the angle .alpha..sub.1 of wrapping of the threads 9 in the pair 11, according to the invention, exceed the angle .alpha..sub.o of wrapping of the threads 9 in the pair 3 by 0.2.degree. to 5.degree., and the angle .beta..sub.1 of wrapping of the threads 9 in the pair 14, according to the invention, be less than the angle .beta..sub.o of wrapping of the threads 9 of the pair 4 by 0.2.degree. to 5.degree.. The value of the shift of the angles of wrapping of the threads 9 of the additional pairs 11 and 14 is selected in accordance with the following relation:

where

The hose of the invention operates as follows.

When the hose operates under an internal pressure and axial tension, the internal pressure is transmitted from the supporting tube (FIG. 1) to the pairs 3 and 4 of the reinforcing plies 5 and 6, 7 and 8; the internal pressure is uniformly distributed by the nonmetallic-fabric interlayer 10 and is taken up mainly by the pair 3 of the reinforcing plies 5 and 6, and partly, also by the pair 4 of the reinforcing plies 7 and 8. The pair 4 of the reinforcing plies 7 and 8 takes up mainly the axial tension which is also partly transmitted to the pair 3 of the reinforcing plies 5 and 6.

In operation of the hose modification illustrated in FIG. 2, the internal pressure is taken up mainly by the pairs 3 and 11 of the reinforcing plies 5, 6 and 12, 13, whereas the axial tension is taken up mainly by the pair 4 of the reinforcing plies 7 and 8.

In operation of the hose modification illustrated in FIG. 3, the internal pressure is taken up mainly by the pair 3 of the reinforcing plies 5 and 6, whereas the axial tension is taken up mainly by the pairs 4 and 14 of the reinforcing plies 7, 8 and 15, 16.

In operation of the hose modification illustrated in FIG. 4, the internal pressure is taken up mainly by the pairs 3 and 11 of the reinforcing plies 5, 6 and 12, 13, whereas the axial tension is taken up mainly by the pairs 4 and 14 of the reinforcing plies 7, 8 and 15, 16.

Presented below are Examples of specific embodiments of the hose of the invention.

A hose was manufactured, comprising an inner supporting tube 1 (FIG. 1) and an outer protective cover 2, both made of a rubber having the modulus of elasticity of E.sub.o =80 kfg/cm.sup.2. Two pairs 3 and 4 of reinforcing plies 5, 6 and 7, 8 were interposed between the supporting tube 1 and the protective cover 2. The reinforcing plies 5, 6, 7, and 8 were wrapped from sets of fiberglass threads. The angle .alpha..sub.o of wrapping of threads 9 in the inner pair 3 of the reinforcing plies 5 and 6, according to the invention, was 82.degree., and the angle .beta..sub.o of wrapping of the threads 9 of the outer pair 4 of the reinforcing plies 7 and 8, according to the invention, was 14.degree.. The diameter of the threads 9 of the inner pair 3 of the reinforcing plies 5 and 6 was d.sub.1 =0.0975 cm, and the diameter of the threads 9 of the outer pair 4 of the reinforcing plies 7 and 8, d.sub.1 =0.0770 cm.

The threads 9 of the inner pair of the reinforcing plies 5 and 6 had a modulus of elasticity of E.sub.1 =0.4750.multidot.10.sup.6 kgf/cm.sup.2 and the permissible stress of [.sigma..sub.1 ]=8.016.3 kgf/cm.sup.2. The threads 9 of the outer pair 4 of the reinforcing plies 7 and 8 had modulus of elasticity of E.sub.2 =0.5207.multidot.10.sup.6 kgf/cm.sup.2 and the permissible stress of [.sigma..sub.2 ]=8.389.3 kfg/cm.sup.2. The density of wrapping of the threads 9 in both the inner pair 3 of the reinforcing plies 5 and 6 and the outer pair 4 of the reinforcing plies 7 and 8 was of 90%.

A 0.05 cm thick cotton-fabric interlayer 10 was disposed directly on the surface of the supporting tube 1.

The hose thus manufactured had an inside diameter of 3.8 cm and an outer diameter of 6.1 cm. The weight of a linear meter of the hose was 2.0 kg.

The hose was tested for the maximum internal pressure, axial tension, radial, axial, and volume deformation, and minimum bending radius.

The test of the hose for internal pressure was carried out in the following way. The length of the hose under test met the conditions of L.gtoreq.20 d.sub.in, where L is the hose length and d.sub.in is the inside diameter of the hose. The hose was coupled to a hand pump with whose aid a liquid (in this case, water) was pumped into the hose. The pressure of the liquid in the hose was measured with a pressure gauge; the volume of the liquid pumped in, with a burette; and the change in the hose length, with a meter rule. In this way, the maximum values of the internal pressure, radial, axial, and volume deformations were determined. The value of the maximum volume deformation was found from the following relation: ##EQU2## where V.sub.1 is the volume of the pumped-in liquid at the moment of the maximum internal pressure and V.sub.o is the initial volume of the inner space of the hose.

The maximum axial deformation was found from the following relation: ##EQU3## where L.sub.1 is the hose length at the moment of the maximum internal pressure and L.sub.o is the initial hose length.

The maximum radial deformation was determined from the following relation: ##EQU4##

To determine the maximum value of axial tension, a one meter long hose was tested under a joint action of the internal pressure and axial tensile force with the use of a tensile testing machine and a hand pump whereto the hose was coupled. In the course of the test, a constant internal pressure was maintained by pumping the liquid with a hand pump. At the moment when the axial tensile force reached its maximum, the maximum values of the axial, radial, and volume deformations were found from the above formulas.

The bending test of the hose was conducted on a test stand. The hose was coupled to a hand pump, and a working internal pressure in the range of 150 to 250 kgf/cm.sup.2 was maintained in the course of the test by pumping the liquid into the inner space of the hose. The hose was bent till the threads of the reinforcing plies broke, and the minimum bending radius was thus determined.

The test results were the following:
