Field Data on Testing of Natural Gas Vehicle (NGV) Containers Using Proposed ASTM Standard Test Method for Examination of Gas-Filled Filament-Wound Pressure Vessels Using Acoustic Emission (ASTM E070403-95/1)

Source

There are many composite wrapped pressure vessels in service. These containers are most widely used for gas storage in natural gas vehicles (NGV). A standard has been developed for the testing of these vessels by the subcommittee ASTM E07.04.03 Acoustic Emission (AE) applications. The AE test method is supported by both field test data and laboratory destructive testing. The test method describes a global volumetric testing technique which is offered as an alternative to the current practice of visual inspection.
