Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a method for fitting an end-fitting (82) of a flexible pipe (10), comprising the following steps: a) a flexible pipe (10) is supplied which comprises an internal tubular structure (16, 18, 20) and a plurality of tensile armour layers (26); b) an end-fitting (82) is supplied which comprises a sleeve (30) and a cylindrical cap (70) that coaxially caps said sleeve (30) in order to be able to create an annular chamber (76); c) said internal tubular structure is push-fitted into said sleeve (30) and said tensile armour layers (76) are configured so that they can extend around said sleeve; and d) said sleeve (30) is engaged inside said cylindrical cap (70) so as to be able to anchor said tensile armour layers inside said annular chamber (76). The method further comprises, after step (c), a dual step of longitudinally tensioning and then releasing said tensile armour layers (26).
