ABSTRACT:
Closed pressurized storage vessels for holding liquefied gases and their vapors under high pressure at ambient temperature are provided on the interior surface with a covering of porous heat-conductive material, e.g. heat-conductive expanded metal foil for reducing or avoiding the risk of BLEVE of the vessel on accidental exposure of the vessel to a fire hazard. The filling serves to delay rise in temperature of the wall of the vessel, thus delaying weakening of the wall to the point where it may rupture under the increased internally-generated pressure.
