Abstract

944,748. Storing liquefied gases. CONCH INTERNATIONAL METHANE Ltd. Aug. 13, 1962 [Oct. 6, 1961], No. 30889/62. Addition to 850,204. Heading F4P. In a large liquefied gas, e.g. methane container of quadrilateral horizontal cross-section as claimed in the parent Specification, having its vertical walls 1 stiffened by a plurality of vertically spaced horizontal beams 2 each of which is secured to and extends continuously round the interior of the container and wherein the corner portions of each beam are connected by cross-ties 3, the points of connection divide the beam of each side wall into sections of diminishing length towards the middle of the wall. As shown, each beam 2 is divided into five sections of length ratio 9, 8, 7, 8, 9.
