Abstract
A frameless system for mounting pressure vessels to a structure comprising fiber-reinforced (FRP) brackets and parallel brackets arranged orthogonally at each neck end of one or more pressure vessels. The brackets are stiff to accept inertial loads imposed by the pressure vessels and are flexible enough to permit longitudinal expansion of the pressure vessels. Each bracket preferably has a profile comprising a base, a tubular portion extending from the base and a web extending from the tubular portion. The pressure vessel's neck end is connected to the web through an attachment secured to the web which transfers loads from the pressure vessel into the bracket's web.
