Abstract

The present invention provides a modular pressure vessel mounting apparatus and methods for using the same in transporting or storing pressure vessels. In particular, the module pressure vessel mounting apparatus comprises:

a plurality of top sleeves (200A);a plurality of bottom sleeves (200B);a top-plate (300A) configured to fit said plurality of said top sleeves (200A);a bottom-plate (300B) configured to fit said plurality of said bottom sleeves (200B); anda restraining device (400) configured to hold each of the pressure gas vessels between each of said top sleeves (200A) and each of said bottom sleeves (200B).Typically, a plurality of pressure vessels are placed between the top-plate (300A) and the bottom-plate (300B) by placing a top sleeve (200A) and a bottom sleeve (200B) between the neck of the pressure vessel and the top-plate (300A) and the bottom of the pressure vessel and the bottom-plate (300B), respectively. The pressure vessels are then held in place using the restraining device (400), which prevents movement of pressure vessels within the module pressure vessel mounting apparatus (10).
