An apparatus for terminating a composite pipe has a pipe having a liner layer surrounded by a composite layer and a pipe end. The liner layer has an extension piece which extends axially beyond the composite layer at the pipe end; a connector; an annular transition element located between the pipe end and the connector, the annular transition element having an exterior surface; and compression means.

The present disclosure provides a leak-proof hose for transportation of fluids therein. The hose comprises an elastic tube with a first end portion and a second end portion. The hose also comprises an extensible cylindrical housing with a first end and a second end, and arranged to substantially accommodate a length of the elastic tube co-axially inside thereof. The hose further comprises a coupling member positioned at the first end of the extensible cylindrical housing. The coupling member have external threads adapted to allow removably attaching of an attachment device therewith. In the present hose, at least the first end portion of the elastic tube is extending outside of the first end of the extensible cylindrical housing and is folded over the coupling member.

The present invention relates to an assembly including an end-fitting and an unbonded flexible pipe, which end-fitting is adapted for connecting the unbonded flexible pipe to a connector. The end-fitting has a through-going opening with a centerline and a front end and a rear end, and the end-fitting further provides for establishing an electrical connection to a least one electrical heating system in the unbonded flexible pipe. Moreover, the end-fitting includes at least one first metallic part having a first surface contacting a second surface of at least one second part in the end-fitting, wherein the first surface of the first metallic part, at least in the vicinity of the through-going opening, includes a coating having a high electrically resistivity. The invention also relates to a method for providing an end-fitting having good properties in respect of reducing galvanic corrosion.

A load bearing flexible conduit system (10) for use in a body of water and adapted for deployment from a reel (100) located on a water going vessel into the body of water is disclosed. The system comprises a number of lengths (12) of load bearing flexible conduit, each length of load bearing flexible conduit provided with an inner layer (44) having a throughbore and a load bearing outer layer (50). A joint (30) for connecting the lengths together has a body having a longitudinal axis and a throughbore and at least one flexible coupling to permit at least one of the said one ends of the respective first and second lengths of load bearing flexible conduit to move relative to the longitudinal axis of the joint. The lengths of load bearing flexible conduit are sufficiently flexible such that they are capable of being stored, prior to use, on a reel (100) and are further capable of being at least partially payed out from the reel into the body of water during use.
