A pressure vessel including: a cylindrical straight body section and dome sections provided at both ends of the body section, where: the body section and the dome sections are composed of a resin main body, and an outer shell made of a fiber reinforced resin material, the outer shell being on the outside of the main body; each of dome sections has pinch-off regions extending from a tip of the dome section toward the body section; and when an end of each of the pinch-off regions opposite to the tip of the dome section is located in a region where a distance from the tip of the dome section to the end of each of the pinch-off regions opposite to the tip of the dome section in the axial direction of the straight body section is less than a distance from the tip of each of the dome sections to a boundary between the straight body section of the main body and each of the dome sections in the axial direction of the straight body section.

Pressure vessel

A short carbon fiber bundling mass is disclosed, which can provide a high-modulus fiber-reinforced resin composition and comprises short carbon fibers bundled by using a sizing agent and heated to a maximum temperature ranging from 1,600&deg; C. to 3,300&deg; C. in an inert gas atmosphere so as to be graphitized.
