Abstract

A light weight pressure vessel () has been proposed. The vessel () is made of a steel, aluminum or non-metal liner () which is reinforced with high strength steel wires () of 2000-7000 MPa strength. The matrix is filled with a polymer epoxy resin (). A top layer of fabric tape () soaked in resin () has been used to embed the finish end () of the wire () and to provide a protective layer over the wire reinforced area. The mesh or net fabric wrap tape () has periodic openings to allow penetration of polymer epoxy resin (). A top coat of a UV resistant polyurethane paint () has been applied.
