FRP Pressure Vessels

A pressure vessel is a container designed to hold gases or liquids at a pressure significantly different from the ambient pressure. They are commonly used in industries like chemical, petrochemical, and power generation for applications such as storing fluids, processing materials, or containing reactors. Pressure vessels are engineered to withstand high stress and are subject to stringent safety standards to prevent failures like ruptures or explosions. Pressure vessels can theoretically be almost any shape, but shapes made of sections of spheres, cylinders, and cones are usually employed. A common design is a cylinder with end caps called heads. Head shapes are frequently either Hemispherical or dished (Tori spherical). More complicated shapes have historically been much harder to analyze for safe operation and are usually far more difficult to construct.
