Title: Pressure vessel

Abstract: The cylindrical body of a pressure vessel for use as a reaction vessel, is built up from courses of flat circularly arcuate segmental plates, the courses being located with respect to each other by locating means passing through aligning openings in the plates. To facilitate construction the openings in each plate are disposed in a symmetrical pattern or array. The locating means may be pins or preferably sleeves, and prestressing means for holding the courses together may be provided by tie-rods or cables passing through such sleeves and also possibly through openings not taken up by locating means. The floor and/or cover of the pressure vessel may be double-walled, and prestressing means provided within the double walls for tightly securing the floor and/or cover to the inside of the cylindrical wall.
