Abstract

The invention relates to a method for providing a thermoplastic pipe with an inner groove, by subjecting a heat plasticized pipe to the action of some rotatably supported deforming rollers which are expanded and rotated by means of a mandril. A relative rotating motion between said deforming rollers and the pipe is maintained until the pipe is no longer permanently deformable and the relatieve rotating motion is maintained to strengthen the walls of said groove.
