This endpiece includes at least one end segment of each armor element, an end vault and a cover, the end vault and the cover delimiting between them a chamber for receiving the end segment and a material for filling the receiving chamber, in which the end segment is embedded. The endpiece includes a spacing member positioned so as to internally bear upon the end segments of the armor elements of at least one armor layer. This spacing member defining, on at least one end segment of a armor element of said armor layer, contact areas axially spaced apart along said end segment, the contact areas delimiting between intermediate contact spaces between the filling material and the end segment.

Connecting endpiece of a flexible pipe with a spacing member, associated flexible pipe and method

A method including the following steps: placing a rear locking collar () around an outer ply (), placing a first shaping guide () for shaping the folding of the end segments () of the outer ply (); folding the end segments () of the outer ply () rearwards, folding the end segments () of an inner ply () rearwards. Before the step for folding the end segments () of the inner ply () rearwards, a second shaping guide () is placed for shaping the folding of the end segments () of the inner ply (), a second shaping guide () being separate from the first shaping guide (), the end segments () of the inner ply () bearing on the second shaping guide () after the folding step.
