The production of high pressure metalcomposite cylinders includes the following steps:
- tubes incoming quality control
- cutting blanks for liners
- cleaning the inner surface of the blanks
- blank wash
- seaming of the liner
- control of the size and inner surface of the liner
- heat treatment and artificial aging procedure
- control of the mechanical characteristics of the liner material (mechanical testing laboratory)
- liner neck turning
- liner size control
- liners pressure test
- transportation of a batch of liners to a separate division in Nizhny Novgorod
- liner incoming quality control
- winding of composite material
- furnace drying and polymerization
- autofretching, pressure test of the cylinders
- warehousing and transportation
Each batch of cylinders is protected by random testing, including:
- comulation cylinder life cycle testing
- cylinder selective pressure crash testing
- determination of the mechanical characteristics of the liner
