Hydrostatic Burst Testing
-
- Utilizing fluid, we perform a destructive pressure test to find the overload capacity of cylinders. With strain gauges we are able to record expansion and stress throughout the test.
- What we learn from Burst testing
- Max burst pressure
- The safety factor specified in applicable standards
- The failure mode
- Confirm design margins of the product
Fatigue Testing
Fatigue testing involves cyclic loading of COPV’s to a prescribed maximum and minimum pressure until a fatigue failure occurs, or until a predetermined number of loading cycles has been applied. Product moves through our state of the art equipment quickly, ensuring you get the information you need in a quick responsive manner.
Autofrettage and Hydro Testing
-
- We autofrettage and hydro test CNG tanks to ensure reliability and ensure CNG products are in accordance with laws and regulations.
Thermal Analysis
-
- With our TA DSC 25 we have the ability to better understand material structure. We can easily measure thermal events such as:
- glass transition (Tg)
- melting
- crystallization
- cure reactions
- onset of oxidation
- heat transitions (enthalpy)
- Expanding on DSC Heat Flow measurements to determine reaction kinetics
- specific heat capacity
- compatibility and stability of blends and alloys
- effect of aging
- impact of additives on crystallization
- With our TA DSC 25 we have the ability to better understand material structure. We can easily measure thermal events such as:
