Abstract

In the production of wire-wrapped pressure vessels and pipe the ends of the wire are anchored or spliced by welding the end hoop to the next adjoining hoop, while the stresses in those hoops subjected to welding are minimized by providing a greater wire density adjacent thereto and hence reduced tension in the welded hoops.
