Method for manufacturing pressure vessel configured to store fluid

Abstract

The pressure vessel may include a laminated structure comprising a liner layer and a reinforcement layer that are laminated on each another, and a shape of the pressure vessel includes a cylindrical portion extending along an axial direction, and dome portions respectively disposed at opposing ends of the cylindrical portion in the axial direction. A method for manufacturing the pressure vessel may include: applying a compressive force along the axial direction to a semi-finished product of the pressure vessel comprising the liner layer; forming the reinforcement layer onto an outer surface of the semi-finished product with the compressive force applied thereon, with a reinforced fiber impregnated with a curable resin; and curing the resin by heating the semi-finished product comprising the formed reinforcement layer.
