Abstract
A method of manufacturing a tube, and a tube, the method comprising the steps of: coupling in position a first tube body and a second tube body by inserting a first insert portion of a connecting pin into an end portion of a first hole of the first tube body and inserting a second insert portion into an end portion of a first hole of the second tube body; welding all around an outer circumferential portion of the coupled portion of the first tube body and the second tube body and all around an inner circumferential portion of the first holes in which the connecting pin is inserted; and removing the connecting pin remaining inside the first hole of the first tube body and the first hole of the second tube body.
Claims6
A tube, comprising:
- a first tube body including a plurality of first peripheral holes and a first central hole;
- a second tube body including a plurality of second peripheral holes and a second central hole, the tube bodies being joined at a joint portion in a rectilinear manner;
- and
- a melt portion formed all around the joint portion of the first tube body and the second tube body,
- wherein the plurality of first peripheral holes communicate with the plurality of second peripheral holes, and the first central hole communicates with the second central hole, and
- the melt portion extends from an outer circumferential surface of the first and second tube bodies more toward the first and second central holes along a radius of the first and second tube bodies than a position where the first and second peripheral holes are formed.
A tube, comprising:
- a first tube body including a plurality of first peripheral holes and a first central hole;
- a second tube body including a plurality of second peripheral holes and a second central hole, the tube bodies being joined at a joint portion in a rectilinear manner;
- and
- a melt portion formed all around the joint portion of the first tube body and the second tube body,
- wherein the plurality of first peripheral holes communicate with the plurality of second peripheral holes, and the first central hole communicates with the second central hole, and
- the melt portion extends from an outer circumferential surface of the first and second tube bodies to a position between the first and second peripheral holes.
