Abstract: A method for assembling a composite pressure vessel includes disposing a sealant into each of a plurality of annular slots defined in an exterior surface of a body portion of an end cap. The end cap is aligned with an end portion of a tubular member such that the exterior surface of the body portion of the end cap abuts an interior surface of the tubular member. A force is applied to the tubular member having the end cap aligned with the end portion of the tubular member. The force is applied while rotating the tubular member. The force deforms the tubular member such that the end portion conforms to the plurality of annular slots defined in the body portion of the end cap.
