✦ Synopsis

This paper describes a test programme whereby a filament wound vessel was filled with liquid nitrogen and subjected to 2000 pressure cycles to 2068 N cm2 (3000 psi) without degradation of the structural capability of the vessel. This programme was initiated and organized by the Boulder Division of Beech Aircraft as a joint effort with the Brunswick Corporation which supplied the composite vessel and design expertise.
