Abstract:
A method of forming a hose assembly is disclosed. The hose assembly includes a multilayer tube having an inner layer comprising a first polymeric material and an outer layer comprising a second polymeric material and defining an outer peripheral surface. The hose assembly also includes a reinforcing layer comprising reinforcing fibers and disposed about and embedded in the outer peripheral surface of the multilayer tube. The method comprises the steps of extruding the multilayer tube, and disposing reinforcing fibers about the outer peripheral surface of the multilayer tube to form a reinforced multilayer tube. The method also includes the steps of heating the reinforced multilayer tube to a temperature which is greater than a peak melting temperature of the second polymeric material, and cooling the reinforced multilayer tube to solidify the melted outer layer and embed the reinforcing layer in the outer layer to form the hose assembly.
