Abstract: A process for producing fibre-reinforced plastic tubes outfitted with flanges, wherein a tube is continuously knit and coated with a duroplastic material in free-flowing form, and the duroplastic material is subsequently hardened. The application of duroplastic material to the knitted tube is halted at intervals for periods which, allowing for the particular rate of production of the plastic tube, correspond to the period of time in which a piece of knitted fabric sufficient for the production of two flanges is produced. The uncoated piece of knitted fabric is cut in the middle and flanges are formed one at a time in a separate operation in which the knitted fabric is stretched radially outwards and impregnated with duroplastic material which thereafter hardens.
