Gas cylinders. Information for design of composite cylinders. Impact testing of composite cylinders | Status: Current

1 Scope This document provides information for the design of composite cylinders related to impact testing and service experience with impact, including:

• — low energy impact, which can result from events that can occur during handling or working around cylinders;
• — high energy impact, which can result from accidents during transportation, or impact by large objects with velocity;
• — drop impact, which can result from handling, where cylinders are dropped or tipped over; and
• — high velocity impact, which can result from high energy impact by a small object, such as gunfire, and demonstrates non-shatterability of the cylinder or tube.

Where appropriate, field experience relevant to testing requirements is provided.

NOTE Unless otherwise stated, the word “cylinder” refers to both cylinders and tubes.
