Abstract
A method of manufacturing at least one flange () by first rotating a tubular element () and two sheet elements () with respect to one another until a radially enlarged portion () and adjacent hub section () have been formed on the tubular element. The sheet element is impregnated by a thermosetting resin. When the resin has cured, the radially enlarged portion () is cut along a cut line (S), thereby also dividing the tubular element () in two parts () and generating at least a first flange () having a first flange section () and a first hub section (). Optionally, a second flange () having a second flange section () and a second hub section (), is generated. In a preferred embodiment, the cut line (S) is arranged in the middle of the radially enlarged portion (), whereby two similar flanges () are generated.
