Abstract:
Glassfibre-reinforced plastic container, for example for liquefied petroleum gas under pressure or compressed air for airbrakes. The container is made of two halves (10, 12), the open ends of which are conically chamfered and joined to each other by an adhesive. In each half the reinforcement is made with inner, intermediate and outer layers, which comprise longitudinally as well as transversely and diagonally orientated bundles of reinforcing strands. Through the orientation of the reinforcing strands in the different layers being guided according to a predetermined pattern, the strength is optimized in each part of the container including its shoulders.

Abstract:
Réservoir en plastique renforcé par fibres de verre, s'utilisant par exemple pour stocker du gaz de pétrole liquide sous haute pression, de l'air comprimé pour freins pneumatiques ou de l'acétylène. Ledit réservoir se compose de deux moitiés (10, 12) dont les extrémités ouvertes sont chanfreinées, afin de constituer une extrémité mâle (20) et une extrémité femelle (22) réunies au moyen d'un adhésif. Le renforecement des couches extérieure et intérieure des moitiés contient essentiellement des brins de fibres de verre longitudinaux et la couche intermédiaire contient essentiellement des brins de fibres de verre transversaux. Dans la moitié constituée par l'extrémité mâle (20), les brins de fibres de verre longitudinaux de la couche intérieure (35) sont étroitement contigus les uns par rapport aux autres, tandis que les brins de fibres de verre longitudinaux de la couche extérieure constituent des groupes séparés (30) de brins agglomérés étroitement, l'espacement prédéterminé entre lesdits groupes constituant des espaces en forme de canaux (31). Dans la moitié constituée par l'extrémité femelle (22), l'ordre est inversé. Pour le stockage d'acétylène, on enferme un corps absorbant préfabriqué en matériau poreux dans le réservoir, lorsqu'on colle les deux moitiés dudit réservoir.
Abstract:
Glass-fibre reinforced plastic tank, for example for liquid petroleum gas under high pressure, compressed air for air brakes or for storage of acetylene. The tank is composed of two halves (10, 12), the open ends of which are conically bevelled to form a male end (20) and a female end (22), which are joined to each other by an adhesive. The reinforcement in the outer and inner layers of the halves contains essentially longitudinal glass-fibre strands and the intermediate layer contains essentially transverse glass-fibre strands. In the half with the male end (20), the longitudinal glass-fibre strands in the inner layer (35) are densely located adjacent to each other, while the longitudinal glass-fibre strands in the outer layer lie in separate groups (30) of densely arranged glass-fibre strands with the predetermined spacing between the groups to form channel-shaped spaces (31). In the half with the female end (22), the order is reverse. In order to store acetylene, a pre-fabricated absorbent body of porous material is enclosed in the tank when the tank halves are glued together.
