Abstract
The present invention describes a tank for fluids under pressure and the manufacturing process thereof. The tank consists of two bottoms (3, 4) separated by a corrugated cylindric zone (2), the corrugated cylindric zone being circumferentially armed, and of a longitudinal reinforcement (7) placed on the total outer structure of the tank which, while reproducing the bottom effect, allows to reduce the thickness of the bottoms and to lighten the tank. The process describes the manufacturing of a circumferentially and longitudinally armed tank.
