Description

This subclass encompasses the design, construction, and operation of pressure vessels and containers for storing gases in compressed, liquefied, or solidified states, as well as fixed-capacity gas-holding equipment. It covers the structural aspects of vessels, materials, safety features, internal components, and methods for filling and discharging such containers. Applications include industrial gas cylinders, cryogenic tanks, aerosol containers, and permanent or semi-permanent gas storage installations used in manufacturing, transportation, medical, and chemical industries.
