TYPE APPROVALS
DESIGN, MANUFACTURE,TEST APPROVAL OF MINSHENG GAS CYLINDERS/PRESSURE VESSELS/VALVES
Minsheng gas cylinders conform to the strictest specifications of international and local standards. Around the world, Minsheng is known for its comprehensive safety and standards certification for gas cylinders. Some approvals on the following.you’ll learn about some design, ,manufacture and test approval of Minsheng gas cylinders.
REFERENCES
1. The design of Minsheng gas cylinder not only uses the specified calculation formula, but also uses the finite element analysis Then, the calculated data are verified and validated by experiments using various techniques including strain gauge measurement.
2.After analysing chemical, physical, mechanical properties and, if necessary, stress corrosion resistance; all materials (carbon steel,stainless steel, alloy and fiber etc.) are carefully selected according to the final using conditions.
3.Minsheng also conducts fracture mechanics analysis on material, which enables us to define the maximum allowable defect size in the cylinder, so that we can：
- determine the NDT limits to be applied to the production line
- guarantee the fatigue life of the cylinder
- demonstrate that the leak occurred before the assumed cylinder burst
4.The surface protection of gas cylinder is considered as a function of various environmental conditions and various corrosive substance that the cylinder may contact with.
Manufacturing Processes TEST
Hydraulic test, defective burst test, defective cycle test, ambient temperature, and pressure cycle test, bonfire test, penetration test, defect tolerance test, high temperature creep test, accelerated stress fracture test. Natural gas cycle test, impact damage test (drop test), leakage test, metrological measurement, X-ray test of welding seam, Magnetic particle Testing, Penetrant Testing, Ultrasonic Testing

TYPE APPROVAL
Prototype design testing and analysis is carried out by the independent third party organization (e.g. BV/SGS/TUV/DNV/KGS/ASME) to carry out each new gas cylinder design to obtain the necessary approvals. According to the relevant specifications, some tests required for approval are carried out on Minsheng laboratory using our own instruments and facilities. In addition to routine mechanical tests, these tests also include advanced tests on gas cylinders, such as environmental tests, extreme temperature tests, defective burst tests, bonfire / high-speed impact tests (gun fires), gas pressure cycle tests, etc. In addition, a number of material tests have been carried out, such as sulfide stress cracking, compatibility and fatigue crack growth under gaseous hydrogen up to 25Mpa.
