Abstract
A process for storing materials under predetermined positive or negative pressure comprising inserting and sealing a fragile storage container within a gas-tight outer container capable of withstanding a pressure differential on opposite sides of its walls respectively greater or less than the said predetermined positive or negative pressure, and substantially filling the interspace between the two containers with a liquid, the fragile container incorporating pressure equalizing means whereby the pressure on opposite sides of the fragile container wall is equalized during the creation of said predetermined positive or negative pressure within the fragile container.
Claims19
A process for storing materials under predetermined positive or negative pressure comprising inserting and sealing within an outer pressure resistant container a fragile storage container incapable of withstanding a pressure differential on opposite sides of its walls respectively greater or less than the said predetermined positive or negative pressure, and substantially filling the interspace between said two containers with a liquid, said fragile container incorporating pressure equalising means whereby the pressure on opposite sides of said fragile container wall is equalised during the creation of said predetermined positive or negative pressure within said fragile container.
A storage apparatus for storing materials under a predetermined positive or negative pressure comprising a fragile sealable storage container incapable of withstanding a pressure differential on opposite sides of its walls respectively greater or less than the said predetermined positive or negative pressure and disposed within a gas-tight outer container capable of withstanding a pressure differential on opposite sides of its walls respectively greater or less than the said predetermined positive or negative pressure, the interspace between said two containers being filled with a liquid, and pressure equalising means incorporated in said fragile container whereby the pressure on opposite sides of said fragile container wall is equalised during the creation of said predetermined positive or negative pressure within said fragile container.
