Abstract
A high pressure vessel construction in the form of an elongate tank includes a plurality of layers of resin impregnated graphite fibers and a plurality of layers of a hybrid of resin impregnated glass and polymer fibers, with the glass and polymer fiber layers alternating with the graphite fiber layers. The outermost layers are hoop wound and the innermost layers are helically wound. A layer of elastomer material is joined to the interior surface of the innermost layer of fibers, and a layer of stiff composite material is joined to the interior surface of the elastomer layer.
