A pressure vessel includes a boss tail portion including a boss extension portion having a cylindrical shape and a boss flange portion integrally expanding outward in a radial direction along a circumferential direction above the boss extension portion, a liner portion having a container shape in which an accommodation space is formed to accommodate a fluid therein and a bottom is sealed and coupled, through integral insertion-injection molding, along a top surface of the boss flange portion, and a composite cover portion provided to surround an outer surface of the liner portion and to have a bottom end sealed and coupled while surrounding a bottom surface of the boss flange portion and an outer surface of the boss extension portion.

The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a pressure vessel and to a corresponding pressure vessel. The invention proposes a manufacturing method for a pressure vessel where first a pressure vessel blank having at least one liner type 4 and a cylindrical pipe operatively connected to it is manufactured and subsequently, for instance, a fibre composite material is wrapped onto the pressure vessel blank.

The invention relates a pressure vessel (100) configured for storing a fluid under pressure, said pressure vessel comprising: a thermoplastic liner (40) having a cylindrical section (41), a first rounded end section (42) and a second rounded end section (42); a reinforcement structure (50) made of a composite material, said reinforcement structure surrounding at least the cylindrical section of the thermoplastic liner; and a local reinforcement layer (20).

A multilayer structure selected from a reservoir, a pipe or a tube, for transporting, distributing or storing hydrogen, including, from the inside to the outside, at least one sealing layer and at least one composite reinforcing layer, the innermost composite reinforcing layer being welded to the outermost adjacent sealing layer, the sealing layers including at least one semi-crystalline thermoplastic polymer, the Tm of which is less than 280° C., wherein the at least one thermoplastic polymer of each sealing layer may be the same or different, and at least one of the composite reinforcing layers being of a fibrous material in the form of continuous fibers impregnated with a composition of at least one thermoplastic polymer P2j, the thermoplastic polymer P2j having a Tg greater than the maximum temperature of use of said structure (Tu), with Tg≥Tu+20° C., Tu being greater than 50° C.

A high-pressure tank for storing a gas includes: a liner having a cylindrical opening; a reinforcing layer covering the liner; a mouthpiece including an external thread portion on an outer periphery thereof and externally fixed to the reinforcing layer covering the opening; a manifold including an inserted portion to be inserted into the opening so as to close the opening, an abutting surface configured to abut on an end face of the opening, and an internal thread portion on an inner periphery thereof to be screwed into the external thread portion of the mouthpiece; and a communicating path that allows the abutting surface of the manifold to communicate with an outside of the high-pressure tank.

A pressure vessel is disclosed having an inner vessel made of an inner-vessel material and an outer layer applied thereon as well as a valve-connection piece with a two-part sealing cone and outer piece, the sealing cone being positioned on an inner face of a protrusion of the inner vessel and the outer piece for generating a sealing pressure being positioned between the two-part sealing cone, the protrusion and the outer piece on an outer face of the protrusion. The outer piece includes a suitably shaped groove having a first and a second edge for receiving a sealing ring that seals under the sealing pressure, wherein the groove and the sealing ring are dimensioned such that, under the sealing pressure and due to the plastic deformability, first and second sealing beads project at least into two gaps between the sealing ring and form the first and second edge.

Disclosed is a pressure vessel including a boss tail portion including a boss extension portion having a cylindrical shape and a boss flange portion integrally expanding outward in a radial direction along a circumferential direction above the boss extension portion, a liner portion having a container shape in which an accommodation space is formed to accommodate a fluid therein and a bottom is sealed and coupled, through integral insertion-injection molding, along a top surface of the boss flange portion, and a composite cover portion provided to surround an outer surface of the liner portion and to have a bottom end sealed and coupled while surrounding a bottom surface of the boss flange portion and an outer surface of the boss extension portion.

Disclosed are a pressure vessel boss and a pressure vessel having same, the boss comprising: a boss body in which a through hole configured to connect an interior to an exterior of the pressure vessel is formed; and a boss joint portion which surrounds an outer surface of the boss body, radially extends outward, and has an outer surface coming into surface contact with and joined to an opening surface of a liner, wherein the outer surface has a cross-sectional shape having three or more line segments connecting a top to a bottom of the boss joint portion and including at least one convex corner and at least one concave corner.

The innovation described herein generally pertains to a system and method related to a pressure vessel including a tank formed of an injected tank liner with co-injected boss and permeation barrier film surrounded by a layer of thermoplastic composite filament winding and a protective jacket disposed thereon that facilitates stacking and portability of the pressure vessel and provides an air passage for convective heat transfer between the tank and the environment.

A high-pressure tank includes: a boss portion formed at one end thereof with a skirt extending radially outward, the skirt having multiple connection holes formed along an outer periphery thereof; a sealing portion formed on an outer surface of the skirt; a dome portion coupled with the sealing portion; and a liner portion coupled with the dome portion.
