Abstract:
A conduit for transporting a fluid comprises a first collar, a second collar, and a bellows. The bellows comprises a corrugated inboard ply, a corrugated outboard ply, and an interstitial space, interposed between the corrugated inboard ply and the corrugated outboard ply. The conduit additionally comprises a first weld, hermetically coupling the corrugated inboard ply and a first outer collar portion, a second weld, hermetically coupling the corrugated outboard ply and a first inner collar portion, a third weld, hermetically coupling the corrugated inboard ply and a second outer collar portion, a fourth weld, hermetically coupling the corrugated outboard ply and a second inner collar portion, and a first sensor, communicatively coupled with the interstitial space.
