The present invention relates to a method for producing a pipe (1) which is provided in its wall (2) and between its ends with at least one channel (4) which passes through the wall (2), in which method a plastic pipe preform (16) is blow-moulded, wherein a protrusion (17) is provided for the channel (4), this protrusion lining the pipe preform (16) and having inside dimensions which are larger than the outside dimensions of the channel (4), in which method the pipe preform (16) in its as yet unsolidified state is squashed in the region of the protrusion (17) in such a way that a rough channel (21) communicating with the interior (3) of the pipe (1) is formed for the channel (4), this rough channel being closed at its end remote from the interior (3) of the pipe and having, apart from the desired channel length (7), the outside dimension of the channel (4), and in which method the squashed pipe preform (16) in its solidified state is cut in the region of the rough channel (21) in such a way that the channel (4) is then open and has the desired channel length (7).
A method for producing a pipe having walls, comprising:
An apparatus for producing a pipe including walls between ends of which have at least one channel that passes through said wall, comprising:
A pipe with a wall that, between ends of the pipe, has at least one channel that passes through the wall, wherein the pipe is composed of plastic and is crushed and cut in a region of the of the at least one channel included.
