Abstract: A pipe element includes a pipe made of fiber-reinforced plastic and at least one metal connector, which is connected to the pipe in such a way that the connection can transmit torques and axial forces. The metal connector has a thread, in particular a conical thread, or a flange, by way of which thread or flange the metal connector can be screwed to another metal connector of an additional pipe element in order to connect two pipe elements. The metal connector surrounds the pipe on the outside by way of a connection region. A counter sleeve is present, which has contact with the inside of the pipe by way of a connection region. The metal connector and the counter sleeve each have a cylindrical thread, by way of which the metal connector and the counter sleeve are screwed to each other.

Abstract: A tube of fiber-reinforced plastic has a fitting face. A process for producing the tube includes the following steps: a) winding a fiber reinforcing material onto a winding core and applying a matrix material to form the tube; b) centering a fitting shaping tool in relation to the winding core; c) pushing the fitting shaping tool in the axial direction onto the later fitting face, which is formed on an annular part of the external circumferential face of the tube, wherein the fitting shaping tool rotates relative to the tube and to the winding core at least temporarily as it is being pushed on; d) thermally treating the tube in a furnace to cure the matrix material. The shaping tool remains in contact with the part of the external circumferential face during the thermal treatment and generates a defined surface on the outer side of the tube.
