A COMPOSITE PIPE ASSEMBLY

摘要

An assembly (10) has: a first pipe (20) being made from a composite material and having a first pipe end section (24) with a first pipe end section inner surface (28) that tapers inwardly, a first reinforcing element (30) having a first portion (32) positioned inside said first pipe end section and having an outer surface (33) shape corresponding to the shape of the first pipe end section inner surface (28), the first reinforcing element including a first abutment region, a second pipe (40) analogous to the first pipe a second reinforcing element (50) analogous to the first reinforcing element, the second reinforcing element (50) including a second abutment region, and a locking device (60) configured to limit axial movement of the first abutment region relative to the second abutment region.
