Fatigue and Fracture Tests of Gas Bottle Material

Abstract

A program of nondestructive inspection, mechanical tests, and fracture mechanics tests was performed on a high pressure air storage bottle. The tests were planned to provide the basis of fracture mechanics life analysis of gas bottles in their service environment. This report describes the procedures and results and gives a preliminary analysis of the results.
