a flexible , fiber reinforced pipe has been invented for conveying fluids . the pipe is flexible enough to be spoolable , even under winter temperature conditions . the pipe can contain pressure , when buried , unrestrained and bent . the pipe exhibits impact resistance under normal handling and can be formed using a continuous process , such that it can be manufactured as it is being laid . a flexible , fiber reinforced pipe includes an inner tubular liner having an inner surface and an outer surface ; a first layer of reinforcing fibers helically wrapped about the inner liner and in direct contact therewith ; an outer layer of reinforcing fibers helically wrapped about an underlying layer of reinforcing fibers and in direct contact therewith ; and an outer tubular sheath applied over the outer layer in direct contact therewith .
