AN ASSEMBLY OF A FLEXIBLE PIPE AND AN END-FITTING

摘要

An assembly of a flexible pipe and an end-fitting, wherein the flexible pipe of the unbonded type comprises a plurality of layers including an outermost armor layer. At least the outermost armor layer is terminated and secured by securing material in a housing cavity of the end-fitting. The end-fitting comprises an annular end-fitting body structure and an annular outer casing, wherein an upper wall section of the housing cavity is provided by the outer casing. The outer casing comprises a strain-bearing fiber armored polymer layer arranged such that a tensile load subjected to the secured outermost armor layer results in strain in the strain-bearing fiber armored polymer layer.
