Description

The area encompassed by on-site construction of pressure vessels is so vast that a complete survey is far beyond the scope of this article. On the whole, only spherical pressure vessels suitable for compressed or liquefied gases are dealt with. Other large vessels such as reactors and safety mantles are only briefly mentioned. Of prime interest is the state of the art, the many associated problems and development trends, and last but not least the constantly growing safety requirements of the population regarding technological developments.

Abstract (German)

Das Arbeitsgebiet der standortgefertigen Druckbehaelter ist so umfangreich, dass eine vollstaendige Uebersicht weit ueber den Rahmen eines einzigen Beitrages hinausgeht. Es werden daher vorwiegend Kugeldruckbehaelter fuer verdichtete oder verfluessigte Gase behandelt. Andere grosse Druckbehaelter wie Reaktoren und Sicherheitshuellen werden nur am Rande erwaehnt. Dabei interessieren in erster Linie der Stand der Technik sowie die damit verbundenen Probleme und Entwicklungstendenzen und dies nicht zuletzt im Hinblick auf das staendig wachsende Sicherheitsbeduerfnis der Bevoelkerung gegenueber der Technik. (orig.)
