Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0450271A2] This invention relates to a method for replacing the armour over a cable joint (20), including the steps of making a number of pretwisted armour elements. The elements are premade by stranding a number of armour elements (12) over a length of pipe or tube (4) having a diameter smaller than the cable core and cable core joint. The stranded or spiralled wire elements are transferred from the tube(s) (4) to an intermediate tube (10;13) having a diameter larger than the cable core and cable armour. The armour is replaced by inserting the tube (10; 13) over one of the cable ends (21) before making the cable joint (20), and sliding the tube over the cable joint when it is finished, withdrawing the tube (14) from underneath the armour elements, and clamping, welding or soldering the ends of the elements to the cable armour (27,28). <IMAGE>
