<p>A lined composite pressure vessel (10) is adapted for mounting in upright position on a flat surface or the like in which a filament wound pressure vessel has a polar closed end (20) and is formed with a liner (15). An end boss extends through the closed end with an annular skirt positioned adjacent to an outside surface of the liner (15) in which the skirt (32) is encapsulated by the filament windings of the pressure vessel. The end boss has a generally axial portion extending from the skirt (32) forming an outwardly opening annular recess, the recess having an outer knurled surface, and receives therein winding filaments of the pressure vessel body so that the end boss is encapsulated in place. A face portion of the end boss is provided with a means by which a support platform (55) may be mounted on the end boss for supporting the torsional and bending stresses are distributed by the end boss over a substantial area of the pressure vessel.</p> |
