  1. CPI Large Steel Seamless Pressure Vessels Kevin Collins National Center of Manufacturing Sciences March 9, 2005 Dearborn, MI

  2. Overview • CP Industries manufactures large seamless pressure vessels for the storage of gases under high pressure. • Pioneered the development of high pressure cylinders. • ASME • DOT • Military • ISO

  3. Applications • Transportation of Industrial Gases • Ground Storage of Industrial Gases • Compressed Natural Gas Fueling Stations • Mother - Daughter Projects

  4. Tube Trailer

  5. Applications • Transportation of Industrial Gases • Ground Storage of Industrial Gases • Compressed Natural Gas Fueling Stations • Mother - Daughter Projects

  6. Ground Storage

  7. Applications • Transportation of Industrial Gases • Ground Storage of Industrial Gases • Compressed Natural Gas Fueling Stations • Mother - Daughter Projects

  8. ISO Container

  9. Manufacturing Process • Raw Material is Seamless Pipe • End Domes are Hot Forged Spun or Hammered • Heat Treated - Liquid Quench & Temper • Grit Blast and Condition O.D. • Machine Necks with I.D. and O.D. Threads • Grit Blast and Condition I.D. • Vacuum, Steam Clean & Dry I.D. • Install End Plugs • Solvent Wash and Paint • Purge with Dry Nitrogen • Assemble

  10. Quality and Inspection Process • All Pipe is Ultrasonic Tested • Properties are Tested from Test Ring Yield Tensile Elongation Charpy V Notch • Brinell Hardness Tests • O.D. is Magnetic Particle Inspected • Machined Threads are Dye Penetrant Tested • Hydrostatic Test • Final Ultrasonic Inspection • Assemblies are Air Tested • Inspections and Testing Witnessed by Independent Agencies

  11. Specifications • Design specification is contingent on what gas is used and how it is used. • Hydrogen - Ground ASME UPV Code Section VIII Div 1 Newest Version Current Addenda and Appendix 22 Material - ASME SA 372 Grade J Class 70 • Hydrogen - Transported DOT - 3AAX - 6000 (Pressure) Material - AISI 4130X

  12. Concerns • Hydrogen is Difficult to Store Efficiently • Requires Higher Pressures than Other Gases • Higher Pressure Results in Smaller O.D.’s and Thicker Walls • More Difficult to Attain Required Properties

  13. Solutions • CPI working with ASME and Compressed Gas Association • Working Committees have Been Formed to Address Hydrogen Storage • Research Laboratories such as Sandia National Laboratories are Testing Materials

  14. Hydrogen Storage
