Composite vessel Explanation: The use of composite materials in pressure vessel construction will reduce weight and increase system performance. Correspondingly, an understanding of manufacturing techniques, quality assurance requirements, damage tolerance, service life, and failure modes in hybrid composite pressure vessels is increasingly important to those responsible for safety and reliability assessments. Pressure vessels fabricated by wrapping thin-metal (or polymer) vessels with fiberglass/epoxy or Kevlar/epoxy have been in use for a number of years. Applications include the space shuttle and other flight vehicles. The additional weight savings, strength, and stiffness advantages of graphite/epoxy overwraps makes this material an attractive candidate for pressure vessels.

comment Explanation: It depends a bit on your context. A Gefäß is in general a container. For whatever reason, a container that holds something under pressure is called a 'pressure vessel' rather than a 'pressure container', and generally 'vessel' is used only in certain contexts (eg 'blood vessel'); it often suggests a fairly large container, or it can be used in a technical context. Another possibility is 'vat', which again is a relatively large container that is open at the top, whereas a vessel is closed. 'Composite container' is a possible generic translation, but I find it a bit ambiguous and unnatural. You would be better off to translate this as 'composite plastic/aluminium containers' (or vessels or vats or whatever). |
