Abstract

A chamber intended for containing the effects arising from explosions, deflagrations, or detonations initiated intentionally or unintentionally inside the chamber. The chamber comprises an essentially cylindrical mantle (1) with associated sealing end pieces. Each end piece comprises an essentially flat part (2, 3) which preferably on its outside is reinforced with reinforcement members (13, 14) placed at right angles to each other. The reinforcement members are welded to each end piece and to the inner surface of the mantle, and they extend from the relevant side of each end piece in the longitudinal direction of the cylinder.
