| Abstract;Lincoln Composites (LC), a division of Advanced Technical Products Inc., has been designing and developing pressure vessels for aerospace, defense, and commercial applications since its founding in 1963. Development of an all-composites Natural Gas Vehicle fuel container began in 1990. LC's all-composites fuel container was certified ANSI/IAS NGV2 in 1993. Over 33,000 containers have been put into service. These containers have had an excellent safety record in service, and have demonstrated high strength retention even when subjected to severe impacts. LC has made several developments in the design and manufacture of NGV fuel containers, including conformal containers, qualification oflow-cost, heavy-tow fibers, and improvements in design features. Based on the success of LC's all composites NGV fuel container, new applications are opening up for this technology. New applications include hydrogen fuel containers, accumulators, and aerospace cylinders. (author abst.) |
