Reinforced pipe and method of making

摘要

A reinforced pipe and a method for constructing same wherein the reinforced pipe is comprised of an outer pipe concentrically positioned over an inner pipe. A honeycomb, reinforcing material which is comprised of rows of cells is positioned between the pipes with the longitudinal axis of each cell being aligned with a radius of the inner pipe. The outer pipe may be heat shrunk onto the honeycomb material or it may be split and expanded before positioning over the honeycomb material. Both the honeycomb material and the outer pipe are positioned along only a portion of the length of the inner pipe so that each end of the inner pipe is exposed to facilitate the joining of two adjacent lengths of reinforced pipe.
