Abstract:
Techniques for implementing a pipeline system that includes a segment and a pipe fitting. The pipe segment includes an inner barrier layer, a first intermediate layer in an inner tubing annulus, an intermediate barrier layer disposed around the inner tubing annulus, a second intermediate layer in an outer tubing annulus, and an outer barrier layer disposed around the outer tubing annulus. The pipe fitting includes a fitting body that defines a fitting bore, a fitting jacket secured to the fitting body to define a tubing cavity, in which the fitting jacket is conformally deformed around the outer barrier layer of the pipe segment, and an annulus divider ring secured to the fitting jacket to divide the tubing cavity into an outer fitting annulus and an inner fitting annulus, in which the annulus divider ring is conformally deformed around the intermediate barrier layer of the pipe segment.
