Featuring a detailed analysis of current approval requirements
and the relevant safety assessment methods for gas cylinders in
general and with main focus on composite cylinders for storing
compressed natural gas and hydrogen, this book demonstrates how
current regulations and standards limit the ability to reduce
cost and weight. Based on this data, it then highlights the
potential offered by the proposed approval procedure based on
probabilistic safety assessment

After addressing the economic potential of probabilistic safety
assessments, the book details working procedures and improving
cycles and (slow) bursts as methods for assessing residual
strength. It then discusses methods for statistically evaluating
test data, as well as sample- size and distribution-character
considerations. A definition of sample strength is elaborated in
terms of the performance sheets developed by the author. On this
basis, it discusses safety as a property of service life and
interpreted as an

overestimates of safe lifetime.

this information enables manufacturers and operators to use this
new approach in practice and supports the improvement of current
regulations and standards.
