Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0798529A1] The tube has a structured inner surface which comprises ribs (14). The ribs have inclined flanks and channels (13) are laterally limited by the ribs. Troughs (18) penetrate the ribs crossways and also have inclined flanks which extend at an angle ( gamma ) deviating from 90 degrees to the tube longitudinal axis (6). Out of two ribs (7,14) running next to each other in a peripheral direction a primary rib has a greater radial extent than the adjacent secondary rib. It is also possible for the primary and secondary ribs to have the same radial extent. They can also run at the same angle ( alpha ) or at different angles to the tube longitudinal axis.
