压力容器是一种应用广泛的重要工程装置。大型压力贮罐、氨合成塔、尿素合成塔、石油加氢反应器、导弹壳体和液氢、液氧燃料压力容器，以及核堆压力壳等是国际上公认的高科技重大承压装备。纤维复合材料和普通钢制是当今世界压力容器技术的两大种类。作者开创了一种新的具有优良综合特性，已含国家发明奖励和18项中美专利成果的抗爆钢复合材料压力容器技术，使压力容 器的使用安全性和制造经济性发生了极大的变革；其典型代表钢带缠绕式压力容器，已被美国机械工程师学会正式列入ASME标准，居国际领先水平，将为21世纪国际压力容器的设计、制造和安全保障技术的发展开创出新的局面。

Pressure vessel technology is an important engineering scientific technology used widely in various industrial and high technologic fields.

The so-called high technologic pressured equipment includes large pressure storage tanks, ammonia synthetic reactors, urea synthetic reactors, petroleum hydrogenation reactors, large rocket shells, liquid hydrogen and oxygen pressure vessels, nuclear power station pressure vessels and so on.

“Filament-Composites structural pressure vessel technology” and “General-Steel structural pressure vessel technology” are the two main sorts of the contemporary pressure vessel technology in the world.A unique sort named “Steel-Composites structural pressure vessel technology” with several unique structural technologic system from low to high pressure application field, which has included China National Invention Prize and 18 Chinese and US patents in its system has been developed in China mainly by the author during past 30 years. This unique sort of pressure vessel technology has the excellent burst resistant and manufacturing cost reduced up to 40% etc. outstanding structural technologic characteristics. This will lead a radical reformation of pressure vessel technology in the world.

A typical technology of this unique sort named “flat steel ribbon cross-helically wound pressure vessel technology” used widely in China during past 30 years has involved officially in the ASME BPV Code as code number 2229 and 2269 for Section Ⅷ , Division 1 and 2 in 1997 respectively for manufacturing various important large industrial pressured equipment in the world with internal diameter up to 3.66 m by American Society of Mechanical Engineers as the first instance of significant technology from China.

The unique pressure vessel technology was assessed an advanced high technology in the world. This will surely open a new development prospect in designing, manufacturing and safe protective technical aspects of the 21 st century by using the special Steel-Composites structural technologic nature.
