Abstract

The container to hold a gas under very high pressures, and especially natural gas, is composed of two cylindrical pressure containers (1) bonded together to form a container unit. At least one of the containers has a connector (4), to fill and empty it. The container sections are welded together, by a thin gap technique, at a common dividing wall (5) which has at least one passage opening (6) for the gas. -
