Abstract: In a method for the manufacture of substantially cylindrical pressurized or liquefied gas tanks first and second portions deformable to open-ended cylindrical shape are stamped out of a same metal sheet, the cylindrical portions then being welded together by their free edges which mated in the sheet. A machine for automatically carrying out the method comprises means for stamping, shaping and assembling the portions.
