Zusammenfassung: | A composite tube comprises a first tube section (100) and a second tube section (200), at least one of which is of fibre reinforced composite form, a mating interface (20, 30) being provided on each of the first and second tube sections (100, 200), each of the respective mating interfaces (20, 30) having an interfering portion (2, 9) to create an interference fit between the first and second tube sections (100, 200) when the composite tube is assembled, each of the mating interfaces (20, 30) being configured with a recess (3, 8), the recesses (3, 8) being alignable with one another, during assembly, to define a combined recess (13) when the composite tube is assembled, into which a hardened settable compound can be disposed during assembly to form an internal locking element (13a) that assists the interference fit by mechanically securing together the first and second tube sections (100, 200). |
