Abstract

In order to determine the effects of variables on the performance of pressure vessels it is necessary to fabricate pressure vessels rapidly and accurately so that statistical data can be obtained. A filament winding system has been developed to make 8-in. diameter vessels with about 2 man-hours of labor each. These vessels can be tested on an Instron Tester.
