Abstract
The invention concerns a flexible conduit comprising an internal gasproof undulating metal tube (1), the wall of which has helical undulations (8), the external surface of said internal tube having at least concave (10) and convex (11) rounded parts corresponding to the internal and external parts of the undulations respectively, and at least an arch (2) arranged around said internal metal tube and made up of at least a form wire (9) coiled in spires. The invention is characterized in that the arch (2) has an internal surface with helical undulation, comprising at least concave (16) and convex (15) rounded parts and the external surface of the internal metal tube is supported in its concave rounded part (10) by a convex part (15) of the arch (2) internal surface and in its convex rounded part (11) by a concave part (16) of the arch internal surface, said internal arch surface and said internal tube external surface matching in form and the interstices (i) between the adjacent spires are small. The invention is particularly applicable to flexible conduits used in oil mining.
