A process for the manufacturing of a pressure vessel made from a thermoplastic material or a thermosetting resin. The vessel comprises a first and a second vessel end part, and possibly an intermediate tube part. The vessel end parts include a circumfering shell (4) and each one dome (3). A number of partition and load distributing walls (5) stretch from the domes (3) towards the open part of each vessel end part. The possible intermediate tube part includes similar walls (5). The edges of the walls (5) will meet when the different parts are joined. A number of cells (6) are formed between the walls (5). A number of crossing areas are formed between intersecting walls (5). At least one crossing area is provided with a determination by achieving a hole (14) from the outside of the dome. The hole (14) is bigger than the crossing area and has a depth greater than thickness of the dome part (3).
A process for the manufacturing of a pressure vessel (1) made from a thermoplastic material or a thermosetting resin, which pressure vessel (1) comprises a first and a second vessel end part manufactured through injection moulding or press moulding and possibly an intermediate tube part which preferably is manufactured through extrusion, wherein the vessel end parts include a circumfering shell (4) which forms the sides of the pressure vessel (1) and each one dome (2 or 3) which form the upper and lower ends respectively of the pressure vessel (1) when joined, wherein a number of interconnecting and thereby load distributing walls (5) stretch from the domes (2, 3) along the circumfering shell (4) towards the open part of each vessel end part, wherein a corresponding number of matching walls (5) are stretching from one open end of the possible intermediate tube part along the circumfering shell of the tube part to the other end of the same so that when two vessel end parts are joined, possibly with an intermediate tube part placed in between, the edges of each of the walls (5) in the different parts meet, between which walls (5) a number of cells (6) are formed, and wherein the walls (5) are placed so that a number of crossing areas (7) are formed between intersecting or connecting walls (5), characterised in that at least one preferably all crossing areas (7) are provided with a termination by achieving a hole (14) from the outside of the dome, which hole (14) is bigger than the crossing area (7) and has a depth greater than the goods thickness of the dome part (2, 3) wherein communicating openings (8) between the cells (6) in the pressure vessel (1) are prepared.
