Abstract

A reinforced bitumen pipe has an inner, strength-providing, reinforced thermosetting resin layer which is coated on its inner and outer sides with a bitumen layer. The bitumen layer on the inner side, and preferably also the bitumen layer on the outer side, is separated from the strength-providing reinforced thermosetting resin layer with the aid of an insulating glass fiber layer into which the thermosetting resin and the bitumen partially penetrate without finding their way up to each other.
