Abstract (en)
The present invention relates to a method for flattening a tubular element (11) which provides for the radial deformation of said portion (10) of tubular element by applying two radial forces (F) on two longitudinal portions (12) opposed relative to the main axis of the tubular element, so as to cause an approach of said two longitudinal portions leaving the remaining opposed parts (13) of the portion to be flattened substantially non-deformed, and for squashing the portion of tubular element on said non-deformed parts with opposed and converging forces (F'), directed orthogonally relative to the radial forces. <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
