The present invention can ensure a large capacity while curbing enlargement of occupancy space or quality degradation due to unstable winding of a fiber-reinforced resin material. A pressure container (1) is provided with: a container body (2); and a cylindrical straight body part (10) and a hemispherical dome part (12) which are formed of an outer shell (3) made of a fiber-reinforced resin material, wherein, in a cross-section of the dome part (12) taken along the central axis of the straight body part (10), the shape of the outer surface (21) of the dome part (12) of the container body (2) is a curved shape that falls within the range of ellipse A and ellipse B when the outside diameter of the straight body part (10) of the container body (2) is defined as 2a. The ellipse A is an ellipse that satisfies b/a=0.55, where the major axis thereof is defined as a straight line k connecting boundary points p between the straight body part (10) and the outer surface (21) of the dome part (12) of the container body (2), the diameter along the major axis is defined as 2a, and the diameter along the minor axis is defined as 2b. The ellipse B is an ellipse that satisfies b/a=0.70, where the major axis thereof is defined as the straight line k, the diameter along the major axis is defined as 2a, and the diameter along the minor axis is defined as 2b.

A composite pressure vessel that includes a monolayer liner and a reinforcing structure arranged on top of the liner. The liner is made by injection moulding and includes at least two shells weldable together. Each shell is made of a polymer composition including at least 45% by weight of an aromatic polyamide relative to the total weight of the polymer composition, and at least 10% by weight of an aliphatic polyamide relative to the total weight of the polymer composition.

A pressure vessel includes a pressure vessel body provided with a flow channel through which a fluid is caused to flow, having a rectangular cross-sectional shape, and formed in an elongated shape, and a circular body flange provided on at least one longitudinal end side of the pressure vessel body, the pressure vessel body has a fluid inlet-outlet port which is provided on the one longitudinal end side and the body flange side of the pressure vessel body and connects with the flow channel and through which the fluid is caused to flow in or out, and the pressure vessel further includes an inlet-outlet header which is formed between the pressure vessel body and the body flange as a closed space connecting with the fluid inlet-outlet port and which the fluid is caused to flow into and out of.

A high pressure tank includes a resin liner, a cap, a seal member, and a collar. The liner contains fluid. The cap has a supply/discharge hole for supplying/discharging the fluid to/from the liner. The collar has a passage hole connected to the supply/discharge hole. A tubular portion of the liner is inserted into the supply/discharge hole, and held between an outer circumferential surface of the collar and an inner circumferential surface of the supply/discharge hole. The seal member is provided in a seal groove formed in the inner circumferential surface of the supply/discharge hole. A fluid inlet channel is formed at least in one of the cap and the collar, for guiding the fluid from a protruding end of the tubular portion into the seal groove through space between the inner circumferential surface of the supply/discharge hole and the outer circumferential surface of the tubular portion.
