Because small-diameter filaments are extremely fragile, they are supplied in bundles. The terminology for identifying these bundles varies, based on the type of fiber. Glass and aramid fiber bundles are called strands, rovings or yarns. In current usage, a “strand” is a collection of continuous filaments and a

Deep subsea developments require integrated service umbilicals (ISUs) to transport hydrate control fluids, such as methanol, and hydraulic fluids to control valves at subsea wellheads. ISUs are typically made from small-diameter (typically 0.25 inches/6.5 mm up to 2 inches/50 mm) stainless steel tubes and/or s
