Abstract

Abstract A tubular article having an internal abrasion and corrosion resistant liner and a method of forming the same provides an inner layer of cheesecloth impregnated with an epoxy resin with the resin adapted to form an outer layer on the cheesecloth. A layer including a plurality of ceramic spheres each having at least a partial surface coating of metal are secured to the cheesecloth through the bonding provided by the metal coating and resin and are maintained in a confined condition to form the inner liner, such as by an outer layer of cheesecloth impregnated with an epoxy resin which surrounds the layer of ceramic spheres and resin. A plurality of fiber glass filaments impregnated with thermosetting resin surround the inner liner with the entire composite cured to form the fiber reinforced pipe.
