Developed independently by HiFluid Industrial, the Hydrogen Cylinder Hydrostatic Burst Test System is designed for evaluating the pressure-bearing capability, overall safety performance, and reliability of high-pressure hydrogen cylinders, with test pressures reaching ≥ 200 MPa.
The system complies with international standards including GTR13, ECE R134, SAE J2579, ISO 19881, and ANSI/CSA HGV 2. By simulating extreme pressure conditions, the system provides critical data for quality certification, type testing, and periodic inspection of hydrogen cylinders. It can also be extended for hydrostatic and burst testing of other types of gas cylinders and pressure vessels, offering broad applicability for different industries and testing needs.
Under controlled conditions, water is used as the pressurization medium to apply a continuously increasing pressure to the hydrogen cylinder. The pressure is raised until the specified test pressure is reached and held for a defined period to verify the cylinder’s strength and confirm the absence of macroscopic deformation. Pressurization is then continued until the cylinder ruptures, allowing precise measurement of its ultimate burst pressure. During the test, the system automatically generates pressure–time curves, burst pressure data, and other reports, providing essential data for failure analysis and design optimization.
