A high-pressure container includes a plurality of body parts arranged side by side, and each of the body parts has a cylindrical shape and has an opening at at least one of its axially opposite end portions. The high-pressure container also includes a cap configured to close the openings of the body parts as a unit, and a communication channel provided inside the cap for communicating interiors of the body parts with each other.

A container assembly, in particular of an air pressure system of a utility vehicle, includes a first region and a second region, wherein the first and the second region together enclose at least part of a container interior, wherein the first and the second region are connected to each other via a joining region, and wherein the joining region is subjected to a shearing load in the event of loading from the container interior side.

A dewar for storing a cryogenic fluid features an inner vessel configured to store the cryogenic fluid and an outer vessel having an outer upper head and an outer lower head. The outer upper and lower heads are joined so as to define an interior chamber of the dewar. The inner vessel is positioned within the interior chamber of the outer vessel so that an insulation space, which is evacuated of air, is defined between the inner and outer vessels. A neck extends between the inner vessel and a central region of the outer upper head. The outer upper head and neck are configured so that the central region permanently deforms without breaking the neck when excessive shock loads are applied to the dewar.

A high-pressure gas container (100) includes an inner layer (11) configured such that high-pressure gas is filled inside, a boss part (13-1, 13-2) provided at least at one position of the inner layer and configured to cause the gas to flow in and out, and an outer layer (12) configured to cover an outer periphery of the inner layer to reinforce the inner layer and having a higher gas barrier property than the inner layer. A gas discharge port (15-1, 15-2) is provided between the boss part and the outer layer, and a gas ventilation part (14) is formed between the inner layer and the outer layer such that the gas having permeated through the inner layer is discharged into atmosphere through the gas discharge port.

A pressure vessel comprising a pipe closed at each end with a novel plug/compression cap, the plug at one end of the pipe having a port for connection to a pressure regulating device.

A pressure vessel having an inner container made of thermoplastic plastic, and at least one metal part embedded in the inner container. A collar that includes the metal part is formed on the inner container, the collar being configured such that it is gas-tight with respect to the metal part.

A hydrogen tank for aircraft, including an inner vessel configured to contain hydrogen, first and second outer jacket domes having a semi-spherical shape and first L-shaped ends, a first semi-cylindrical outer jacket established on top of the first and second outer jacket domes, a second semi-cylindrical outer jacket established in the bottom of the first and second outer jacket domes. The first and second semi-cylindrical outer jackets include second L-shaped ends. The first and second L-shaped ends form L-shaped junctions to attach the first and second outer jacket domes to the first and second semi-cylindrical outer jackets.

A method of assembling a first part (1) with a second part (2) having at least one crimping lip (4), a crimping anvil (3) and a crimping groove (9) designed to accept an edge (10) that is to be crimped belonging to the first part, in which method the edge that is to be crimped is introduced into the crimping groove and magnetic crimping is performed by applying to the crimping lip a magnetic field that is designed to bend the crimping lip over and close the crimping groove onto the edge that is to be crimped, characterized in that the crimping anvil has at least one inclined portion.

A modular pressure vessel suitable for housing, storage, and/or supplying a pressurized fluid is disclosed. In one aspect, the modular pressure vessel comprises removable end-caps attached to each end of a center section. The center section includes longitudinal rails. In another aspect, methods for manufacturing the modular pressure vessel are described, including extrusion processes for the center section. The modular pressure vessel allows for various components to be easily swapped out or changed, such as the end-caps, or components easily installed and removed from inside the pressure vessel, such as a compressor and related components.

A method, a composite joint, and a composite tank are presented. The composite tank comprises a curved wall, a plurality of shear fittings, and a plurality of bolts. The curved wall has an opening. The plurality of shear fittings is threaded into a plurality of blind holes in the curved wall around the opening. The plurality of bolts engages the plurality of shear fittings and joins a cap to the curved wall.
