The present invention relates to a method for interference-joining concentric cylinders, where the smaller cylinder (102) does not fit into the larger cylinder (101), involving the use of auxiliary cylinders inside an assembly chamber (301), such that the interference is momentarily eliminated by means of isostatic pressure, and one cylinder is fitted into the other, yielding an interference-joined thicker cylinder. The pressure is released, and it is removed from the assembly chamber (301) finally leaving only the two interference-joined cylinders. It is possible to assemble 3 or 10 and more cylinders in the same way, assembling a thick cylinder, pre-compressed on the inside and pre-stressed on the outside. Several interference-joined cylinders exert the same stress when the cylinder withstands the maximum pressure, such that it withstands a greater pressure than a single cylinder with the same total wall thickness, which always reduces the stress from a maximum at the inside of the wall to a lower percentage at the outer edge.
Method for joining two or more concentric cylinders (101, 102) by isostatic-pressure interference, being one or two of said cylinders already interference-joined;
