ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a prestressed tube and a method of its manufacture. The tube includes inner and outer walls with an intermediate nonadhering lamina layer. A pressure medium is fluidically injected through one of the walls to the interface between the nonadhering lamina layer and at least one of the walls so as to form a cavity therebetween for receiving the pressure medium. The medium is thereafter hardened to provide a prestress force to the tube. The method includes the step of fluidically injecting pressure medium between the walls to the intermediate lamina layer and the interface between that layer and at least one of the walls, so as to form a gap therebetween for receiving the pressure medium. During the step, one or both of the walls may be expanded so as to form an enlarged cavity for receiving the pressure medium. The method thereafter includes the step of hardening the pressure medium so as to provide a permanent leak-proof prestress force to the tube.
