fLIGHT International, 18 June 1964 21 Bristol Aerojet process produces gas storage vessels of low weight and great strength—designed for maximum capacity in any given space Bristol Aerojet, specialists in the design and manu- facture of high tensile steel welded components, have developed a very advanced range of pressure vessels. Made by a special Bristol Aerojet process, the gas storage vessels have an exceptionally high storage capacity and low weight and can operate with great reliability at high stress levels. These vessels are particularly suitable for aircraft aspirated systems where efficient operation is vital and where space restrictions demand optimum energy supply with minimum bulk. Bristol Aerojet pressure vessels pack more energy into less space for less weight tlian any other type of gas storage bottle. Made of chrome molybdenum steel, the vessels are welded by the argon shielded tungsten arc process and heat treated to a minimum ultimate strength of 75 tons per sq in. All welds are examined several times during manufacture, both visually and radiographi- cally. v;r Bristol Aerojet pressure vessels range from 10 to 2,000-cu-in capacity and when compared to forged vessels, show a weight saving of at least 5 lb per 500c u in and as much aa 50%, Bristol Aerojet Pressure Vessels chosen by Walter Kldde and Beaufort Beaufort (Air-Sea) Equipment Ltd have chosen the Bristol Aerojet Type 3161 pressure vessel to inflate their 26-person reversible liferafts.
