Abstract
A pressure bulkhead may include a bulkhead wall having a radially inner disk and a radially outer compression ring, the outer compression ring being reinforced to balance meridional and hoop stresses sustained by the bulkhead wall in response to a pressure differential across the pressure bulkhead; and the radially inner disk being unitary with the outer compression ring and being made of the same material as the outer compression ring.
