Abstract
A composite pipe termination is provided. The composite pipe includes a composite pipe wall thickness and a cut end. An annular part of composite material is attached around the outside of the composite pipe at the cut end. The annular part has a radial thickness which tapers towards the composite pipe in the direction along the composite pipe away from the cut end to provide an exterior surface having a tapered portion. A pinning structure includes one or more pins which extend through the annular part and partially through the composite pipe wall thickness to further attach the annular part to the composite pipe.
