Pipe element having a composite pipe and a metal connector

The invention relates to a pipe element, which comprises a pipe (3, 3.1, 3a) made of fibre-reinforced plastic and at least one metal connector (6, 6.1, 6a), which is connected to the pipe (3, 3.1, 3a) in such a way that the connection can transmit torques and axial forces and which has a thread (17, 17.1, 17a), in particular a conical thread, or a flange, by means of which thread or flange the metal connector (6, 6.1, 6a) can be screwed to another metal connector of an additional pipe element in order to connect two pipe elements. The metal connector (6, 6.1, 6a) surrounds the pipe (3, 3.1, 3a) on the outside by means of a connection region (14, 14.1, 14a). A counter sleeve (2, 2.1, 2a) is present, which has contact with the inside of the pipe (3, 3.1, 3a) by means of a connection region (11, 11.1, 11a), and the metal connector (6, 6.1, 6a) and the counter sleeve (2, 2.1, 2a) each have a cylindrical thread (10, 10.1, 10a, 15, 15.1, 15a), by means of which the metal connector and the counter sleeve are screwed to each other.
