Abstract
The cylindrical liner and surrounding annular support structure of a pressure vessel are segmented axially with the axial segments of the liner being slightly longer than the axial segments of the annular support structure to provide an axial space between opposed annular support structure segments to permit substantially uniform axial compressive stress to be produced along the entire length of said axially segmented cylindrical liner and to seal opposed intermediate annular surfaces of cylindrical liner axial segments; the axial segmentation also provides economies of original cost, repair and replacement costs and ease of assembly and disassembly.
