<p>A method for handling a fiber reinforced tube (4) the tubular wall of which has a stiffness which allows the tube to maintain a nominal circular cross section of its own, said tube comprising a liner (1), a fiber reinforcement (2) surrounding the liner and a coating (3) surrounding the fiber reinforcement, comprises the steps of:
- flattening the tube (4) so as to obtain a non-circular shape (5), such as an oval or elliptical shape,
- subsequently winding the flattened tube (4,5) onto a reel (13).
By means of the method, a combination of a wound flattened tube and a reel is obtained which is fit for road transport.</p> |
