- existing tanks consist of one or more containers elementals, or modules of cylindrical general shape and made either in metallic material, either of composite material.
- modules When the modules are made of metal material, they have a relatively low construction index. In the case of modules made of material composite, the construction index is significantly higher but the pressure resistance stress induces a high wall thickness, this which affects the filling factor. In addition, the realization of monolithic tanks of the bottom type + ferrule made of composite material major manufacturing constraints, particularly for the production winding and / or draping the fibrous reinforcement of the composite material, and for the necessary tools, in particular mandrels or shapes which must allow disassembly of the wound or draped structure.

- the containers 20 are arranged parallel to each other, each registering inside a parallelepipedic volume 21 defined by the shape of the flasks 30. All the containers are part of a volume defined by the size allowed for the tank. In cross section, this together is part of a regular or non-regular polygon, some containers may also have lengths different from those other containers, so that the tank may have recesses or projecting parts (not shown in Figure 1).
- FIGS 2 and 3 illustrate in more detail an elementary container 20.
- the cylindrical body 22 for example of circular section, is made of structural composite material formed of fibrous reinforcement densified by a matrix.

- the light 28 extends in the longitudinal direction to allow a relative axial displacement between the cylindrical body and the flange when the container is under pressure.
- the holding flanges 30 at the axial pressure exerted by the fluid contained in the primary tank 20 is ensured by at least two straps 40 a, 40 b. These surround the container 20 longitudinally relying on the external faces of the flanges 30.
- the straps 40 a, 40 b pass through grooves 36 a, 36 b formed in the outer faces of the heads 32 of the flanges, of so that the straps are effectively held in position.
- the depth of the grooves 36 a, 36 b is chosen so that the straps 40, 40 b housed them throughout their thickness and does not create protrusions on the outer faces of the heads 32.

- the fibers may be carbon, glass, aramid, polyethylene or other, while the matrix is for example a phenolic or epoxy resin.
- the straps 40, 40 b can then be implemented by winding filaments or fiber fabric prepreg tape by the matrix resin.
- the two straps 40 a, 40 b extend along planes parallel to each other situated on either side of a median plane of the container. In this way, the straps 40, 40 b and the reliefs of the gorge 36, 36 b fit into the box volume 21 and do not increase the footprint.

- Seals 46 are also mounted on the connectors 42 to interpose between the parts of the fittings penetrating the holes 38 and the inner walls thereof. The holding in position of the tubular connector 42 between the two adjacent plates is obtained for example by the presence of a flange 44 being received in counterbores 38 has formed in the adjacent side faces of the flanges 30.
- Each container is in direct natural physical contact with one or more adjacent containers by support between flanges 30 at the faces 32 1 , 32 2 , 32 3 , 32 4 .

- l'utilisation de deux sangles longitudinales permet un maintien efficace des flasques sur le corps cylindrique, y compris sous des pressions élevées,
- l'espace entre les sangles, au niveau d'au moins un des flasques, peut être mis à profit pour former un évidement permettant de loger un équipement de mesure, de sécurité ou de raccordement, sans pénaliser l'encombrement.
