Fluid-tight end fitting for a composite hose and method of assembling a composite hose on such end fitting

A composite hose comprising a tubular body of flexible material for transfer of cryogenic fluid through the hose and to prevent fluid leakage through the body,

• the tubular body comprising;
• an inner wire helix spirally wound along the length of the hose,
• an outer wire helix spirally wound along the length of the hose,
• at least two reinforcing layers placed in between the inner and outer wire,
• at least one sealing layer placed between two reinforcing layers, and
• an end fitting at both ends of the tubular body, each end fitting provided with a part for connection to another hose and an elongated cylindrical part, the cylindrical part divided in an anchoring area for anchoring the tubular body and a static sealing area for fluid tight sealing of the hose, wherein a gas tight sealing is created by a bond bonding the at least one sealing layer to the cylindrical part over a ring shaped bonding area,
• wherein an outer wire pack is placed over the outer wire to apply a radial compression force on the outer wire in the sealing area of the cylindrical part, and
• wherein a deformable metal sheet or ferrule is placed between the outer wire and the outer wire pack.
