An inner tube element for a coring apparatus comprising a double tube, made of synthetic resin reinforced with fibers and provided at its ends with connecting nipples, is entirely made of synthetic resin and overlaps, at each of its ends, a part of the nipples having a rough surface gripped by said fibers, preferably in the form of webs of glass fibers. The inner tube element is manufactured by a process in which two nipples or couplings are placed onto a cylindrical mandrel having a constant section and rotating about its longitudinal axis, at a predetermined distance corresponding to the tube element to be manufactured, a part of said nipples having an inner diameter substantially identical to the diameter of the mandrel and having a rough surface, and fibers coated with a synthetic resin are wound helically onto said cylindrical mandrel, so as to overlap the rough part of said nipples.
