PIPE FORMING METHOD

摘要

A method for forming a composite fluid conduit comprises providing an inner pipe (2) having a variation in cross-section between at least two different longitudinal sections thereof, and applying a fibre reinforced composite material (30) to the inner pipe (2). In some disclosed examples the variation in cross section may be provided intermediate opposing ends of the inner pipe (2). In other disclosed examples the variation in cross section may be provided at an end region of the inner pipe (2).
