Abstract:
This invention relates to a pressure vessel having a one-piece polymeric composite with a weldable metal fitting such that the pressure vessel can be coupled to a source of compressed fluid by a welded connection.
Abstract:
A method of producing a pressure vessel, and the corresponding pressure vessel, wherein the pressure vessel is comprised of different types of structural elements, one of the structural elements being comprised of a metal substrate having a liner material adhering to the substrate in adjoining linear areas; and orientated so that adjoining linear areas of lining material are orientated longitudinally with respect to a completed pressure vessel.
