[ cylinders ]
For instance , when simulating a fire , the cylinder and its safety components must withstand a temperature of at least 800 ° C for 12 minutes without rupturing . The safety components must also ensure a controlled blowout .
management . The manufacturer is audited at predetermined intervals to verify the quality management system . Additionally , the quality of the product is assured through batch testing of the produced cylinders using load cycle tests and burst testing .
In the high-velocity impact test ( or shooting test ), the cylinder is filled with gas and shot at to simulate the impact of a firearm . The cylinder must maintain its form after being hit , and any gas must blow out through the hole ( s ) caused by the penetration of the bullet .
Quality control by a third party
Certification or type approval can only be issued when the cylinder complies with the tests described in the appropriate standard and the quality of the product can be assessed and controlled .
A third party is involved in independently checking and controlling the production of the cylinders and quality
New mobility and storage solutions
After considering all of the above , we can conclude that the hydrogen storage market is well defined in terms of safety , quality , production , and quality assurance . However , there is a constant learning curve throughout the market as new technologies , improvements in materials , and new applications emerge .
These new developments are continuously monitored and implemented in updated standards formed by all parts of the market , including manufacturers , legislators , users , and test facilities . All these stakeholders are involved in implementing these impulses in standardization .
