Effects of high-pressure hydrogen on storage vessel materials

Tensile tests on welded plates of three grades of steel indicate an appreciable decrease of tensile strength and ductility of notched specimens and a decrease in ductility of unnotched samples. Surface cracking, evident in unnotched specimens, is conducive to breakdown in tensile strength and ductility.

Simple method for forming thin-wall pressure vessels

Application of internal hydrostatic pressure to seam-welded circular cylindrical tanks having corner-welded, flat, circular ends forms large thin-walled high quality tanks. Form limits expansion of cylindrical portion of final tank while hemispherical ends develop freely; no external form or restraint is required to fabricate spherical tanks.
