Abstract
A process for manufacturing a metallic tank involves placing a metallic inner sheath of average plastic strain having two ends separated via a cylindric zone within a cylindric corrugated tube having hollow outer parts provided with reinforcing elements and expanding the metallic inner sheath by compression to conform to the corrugated tube. In the process, a tube for preventing longitudinal buckling of the corrugated tube is placed around the assembly of the corrugated tube and the metallic sheath.
