A pressure resistant device includes a tubular main body portion, a lid portion having a wall portion joined to the main body portion, a positioning portion provided to oppose an inner peripheral surfaces of the main body portion and the wall portion, and a groove portion formed on the inner peripheral surface, and the positioning portion is provided to oppose an edge of the groove portion.

A manufacturing method of a high-pressure tank includes a step of forming a first reinforcing body involving cooling a first resin-impregnated fiber bundle fed from a fiber bundle feeding device and having a first temperature to a second temperature lower than the first temperature and winding the cooled first resin-impregnated fiber bundle around a mandrel or a liner. The first resin-impregnated fiber bundle includes fine particles that contain an acrylic resin or a butadiene resin as a main component. A high-pressure tank including the liner that houses gas and the first reinforcing body that covers an outer surface of the liner is manufactured.

Provided is a liner for a pressure vessel, the liner being constituted from a fiber-reinforced composite material containing a cured product of a thermosetting resin or a thermosetting resin composition, and continuous reinforcing fibers. Also provided is a high-pressure gas storage tank provided with the liner.

A fluid tank for storing a compressible fluid may have a translucent wall is disclosed. A light emitting diode (LED) may be configured to illuminate the wall. The fluid tank may comprise a tube and two end caps. The tube may be coupled to the end caps. Connecting rods disposed in the tube may be coupled to the end caps to squeeze the end caps onto the opposed ends of the tube. The LED may be disposed between one of the end portions of the tube and the end cap attached to that end portion of the tube. When the LED is illuminated, light is projected into the tube so that the tank now has a color to it.

In the vicinity of an opening end of a first liner constituent member and a second liner constituent member made of a resin material, a flange portion is formed. After end surfaces of the opening end are abutted and joined to each other, the flange portion is removed in such a way that a part of a bottom portion remains. The remaining amount of protrusion is set such that the joint strength of a joint portion is not less than the tensile strength of the resin material or not less than the cohesion failure strength of the joint portion.

Provided are a pressure vessel and a vehicle. The pressure vessel includes a casing, a cylinder valve, a valve seat and an inner liner, the casing has a storage space, the casing has a communication channel communicating the storage space with an outside, the cylinder valve is disposed at the communication channel and configured to adjust an opening degree of the communication channel, the valve seat is at least partially supported between the cylinder valve, the inner liner is disposed on an inner wall surface of the casing, the cylinder valve extends out of the inner liner, the inner liner includes a fitting portion adapted to surround and be attached on an outer peripheral surface of the cylinder valve, and a limiting portion is provided on an inner wall surface of the valve seat and adapted to be attached on and stop the outer peripheral surface of the cylinder valve.

Provided are a pressure vessel and a method for winding a filament that allow a reinforcing layer to have an even thickness. The pressure vessel includes: a liner (2) having a hollow portion; and a reinforcing layer (4) that covers the circumference of the liner (2). The reinforcing layer (4) is formed by binding bands (11) composed of reinforced fibers around the liner (2) so as to be layered, a lap portion (21, 22) is formed with ends of the adjacent bands (11, 11) superposed one on another in each layer of the reinforcing layer (4); and at least one end of the adjacent bands (11, 11) in the lap portion (21, 22) is formed thinner than any other portion of the band (11).
