Zusammenfassung: | A corrugated plastics tubing (10) which may be corrugated on its inner surface as well as its outer surface, has corrugations (12) which define a series of peaks (14) and roots (16) along the tube. The thickness (W1) of the walls (18) of the roots (16) are reduced in thickness from a standard thickness (W0) or the peak wall thickness W. The tube is made by compressing the tube at the root wall region (16) so as to displace material from that region. By applying a compression force sufficient to take the plastics of the tube beyond its elastic point, beneficial properties can be attained. |
