Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an arrangement in a coating line, in which a fibre (2) is uncoiled from a fibre start (1) by means of a pulling device (5) to an extrusion head (3) that comprises a die part (7) and a torpedo part, by means of which on the surface of a primary coated fibre there is arranged a buffer layer which is in tight contact with the primary coated fibre, and in which method the tightly coated fibre is cooled downstream of the extrusion head (3) in a predetermined manner. First there is determined a target value for line tension by means of the correlation between a line tension and a force required for stripping a buffer layer and the line tension between the extrusion head (3) and the pulling device (5) is measured.
