Carbon Fibre Gas Cylinder Product Introduction

Carbon fibre gas cylinder, that is, carbon fibre winding composite gas cylinder, is the use of stress analysis design, the use of high-quality carbon fibre, imported epoxy resin and other materials, after winding, high-temperature curing and so on more than a dozen processes refined from the bottle ware. The following is a detailed introduction to carbon fibre cylinders: 

I. Product Features

Lightweight: carbon fiber itself is lighter than aluminium, only about 1/4 of steel, so the weight of carbon fiber cylinder is much lower than the same volume of metal cylinders (such as steel cylinders, aluminium alloy seamless cylinders), about 50% lighter, so that the user can be more relaxed and comfortable to carry and use.

High Strength: Carbon fibre material itself has high strength, the compressive strength can reach more than 3000MPa, which ensures the stability of the working pressure of carbon fibre cylinders, making them more safe and reliable.

Corrosion resistance: Carbon fibre cylinders have excellent corrosion resistance, able to withstand acid, alkali, salt and atmospheric corrosion, prolonging the service life of the product.

Safety: carbon fibre is a poor conductor of electricity, and in the erosion and corrosion occasions show neutralisation, improving the safety of the product. In addition, the composite gas cylinder will not produce dangerous fragments when it is damaged by impact or high-speed shock, thus reducing or avoiding injury to personnel.

II. Product Specification

Carbon fibre gas cylinders are available in a variety of capacity specifications, such as 0.5 litre, 1.1 litre, 6.8 litre, 9 litre and so on, to meet the needs of different customers. Meanwhile, the bottle mouth thread also has standard specifications, such as M18x1.5, etc.

III. Application field

Industrial field: carbon fibre gas cylinders can be used to store various high-pressure gases, such as oxygen, argon, methane, etc. These gases are widely used in industrial production, such as welding, cutting, chemical reaction, etc.

Transportation field: carbon fibre gas cylinders can be used to transport all kinds of high-pressure gases, such as natural gas, hydrogen, etc. These gases play an important role in aviation, aerospace, marine and other fields.

Medical field: Carbon fibre cylinders are also widely used in the field, such as oxygen cylinders, oxygen helmets, ventilators and other equipment for storing high pressure gases, which provide a safer, more efficient and comfortable way of storing oxygen for treatment.

Personal life: carbon fiber cylinders also play an important role in camping, hiking, self-driving tour and other activities, which can replace the traditional aluminium cylinders, reduce the burden of baggage, and provide a safer and more reliable way of storing high-pressure gases.

Testing and Maintenance

According to the new European standard, carbon fibre gas cylinders need to be tested every five years; according to the American standard, they need to be tested every three years. In the process of using, if you find carbon fibre gas cylinders have serious corrosion, damage or have doubts about its safety, you should carry out inspection in advance.

Cylinders that have been subjected to collision, fire or other damage should be discontinued and tested according to relevant standards and specifications. In addition, artificial heating of gas cylinders is prohibited, and leaky gas cylinders should not be filled when fibre breakage, damage or obvious scratches are found.

In summary, carbon fibre gas cylinders have been widely used in many fields for their light weight, high strength, corrosion resistance and safety. In the future, with the continuous progress of technology and cost reduction, the application scope of carbon fibre gas cylinders will be further expanded.
