fabricators of flanged pipe sections


Explanation:
The results of my Googling are given below. "Spool" appears to be used with a variety of meanings in relation to pipes, but my final conclusion is that it is a length of pipe fabricated for flange-bolting to others similar elements.

coiled tubing

A long, continuous length of pipe wound on a spool. The pipe is straightened prior to pushing into a wellbore and recoiled to spool the pipe back onto the transport and storage spool. Depending on the pipe diameter (1 in. to 4 1/2 in.) and the spool size, coiled tubing can range from 2000 ft to 15,000 ft [610 to 4570 m] or greater length

Spool: connection between a subsea pipeline and the platform riser, or between the terminations of two pipelines.

At the proper time, the driller must pull tension on the chain while a member of the floor crew holds some tension on the free end of the chain. This causes the new drillpipe joint to act like a spool, and as the driller pulls the chain on one end using the drawworks, the spool (or new pipe joint) turns and screws into the joint hung off in the slips.

www.bilko-automation.com/English/products/Fabricom/Weldless... - Everything at this site – which I cannot cut and paste – points to "spool" being a length of pipe, straight or bent. "Virole" could be the French equivalent.

If you do a Google image search for "pipe" and "spool", you can see why it bears this name: it is a length of pipe with a flange at each end (in most cases). One of the photos is of a very short pipe, so short that, with the flanges, it resembles the bobbins of a sewing machine or the reels/spools power utilities have cable delivered on, etc.

The best I can think of, then, is "fabricateurs de viroles", but I can't get a lot of confirmation for that. Maybe something with "chaudronniers"?
