Abstract
A pressure vessel capable of containing fluids at high pressures and temperatures is provided. The vessel comprises a shell having an inner lining, a plug bound to the inner lining and an outer lining disposed around and bound to the plug and the inner lining. The inner lining serves as an impervious barrier for the fluids. The plug, disposed between the inner and outer linings increases the thickness of the shell in a localized area of the shell so that a port through this area can support a fitting or other devices without leakage. The outer lining covers the inner lining and the plug and provides structural rigidity, strength, and integrity for the shell.
