ABSTRACT:
A long, continuous, constant diameter, neutrally buoyant oil filled line array hose without couplings comprising a plastic inner hose having a layer of conducting and/or optical fibers wrapped helically around and bonded to the outer periphery along the neutral axis thereof. A strength member layer is encased within and bonded to an outer plastic sleeve which covers the conducting layer. Sensors are placed within the inner hose cavity through incisions formed at predetermined locations, attached to the conducting layer, and sensor-conductor junctions are sealed with a waterproof coating; the incisions are then chemically sealed. The hose cavity is filled with an insulating oil providing a continuous, oil filled constant diameter, line array hose devoid of coupling members.
