14 FLIGHT 15 JULY i960 Bristol Aerojet process produces gas storage vessels of high energy/weight ratio for a great variety of specialised applications made in a very large number of specified shapes: spherical; cylindrical; annular; and toroidal. Bristol Aerojet pressure vessels show a weight saving of at least 5 lb per 500 cu in and as much as 50% when com- pared with forged vessels. Bristol Aerojet, specialists in the design and manufacture of high tensile welded components, have developed a wide range of pressure vessels. The process produces gas storage vessels, of very advanced design with an exceptionally high energy/weight ratio, which operate with great reliability. The vessels, which have been approved for operation under ARB and military conditions, are suitable for many specialised applications ranging from aircraft, guided weapons and tanks, to liferafts, fire extinguishers and escape chutes. In fact, Bristol Aerojet pressure vessels can be de- signed for any system which requires gaseous energy, especially where efficient operation is vital and where space restrictions demand maximum energy supply with minimum bulk. For they pack more energy into less space for less weight than any other type of gas storage vessel. Made of chrome molybdenum steel, the vessels are welded by the argon shielded tungsten arc process and heat treated to a minimum ultimate tensile strength of 75 tons per sq in. All vessels are examined several times during manufacture, both visually and radiographically, to ensure the highest standards of welding. These are only two examples of the many stringent quality controls which are performed during manufacture. The vessels range from 10 to 2,000-cu-in capacity and are If you would like further information about Bristol Aerojet pressure vessels or high tensile steel welded components, please write to:— P. W.
