End-fittings

End-fitting mounting is performed in a dedicated location off-line the flexible pipe manufacturing. The end-fitting mounting building is fully enclosed thus ensuring a stable environment for both mounting and FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) testing.

Flange connectors are manufactured to standards specified by the client, eg. API, ANSI, Compact flanges or specialized flanges.
