Abstract: A flexible tube (10), in particular for use in oleodynamic circuits, comprises a substrate shaped in the form of a tubular core (12) around which at least one reinforcing layer (14) is arranged. The substrate (12) comprises a radially internal layer of elastomeric material extruded longitudinally (16) and a radially external layer (20) obtained as a result of winding a strip of rubber-coated fabric spirally around the internal layer (16).
