The quality validation testing process for hydrogen vessels and tanks plays a important role in minimizing the inherent risks associated with hydrogen storage, given the highly flammable and potentially dangerous nature of the gas. The primary focus is on assuring the tanks’ structural quality to prevent leakage, ruptures, or other failures that could result in accidents, explosions, or fires. Adherence to established industry standards and regulations, is imperative to affirm the secure utilization of hydrogen storage systems.
SCITEQ testing systems offers various tests systems and equipment in compliance with international standards.
Burst and/or fatigue testing is performed with water. This test is often performed as a pre-production test to meet safety and quality standards. The vessel or specimen is filled with water and pressurized untill bursting. The pressure ramp is controlled by the SIGMA software ensuring accuracy and valid test data analysis. The pressure range for the SCITEQ standard test system is up to 200 bar/ 2900 psi with a flow of up to 15 liters per minute. The unique software & intelligent dynamic regulation ensures the most stable and linear pressure regulation in the market.

The cyclic test is conducted to replicate the standard lifespan of an object. In the case of a Hydrogen storage tank, the procedure involves filling the vessel with a fluid and applying pressure, followed by an emptying phase that simulates gas consumption. This repetitive cycle, performed thousands of times, serves to emulate the vessel’s long-term usage. Throughout these cycles, critical parameters such as temperature, tank deformation, and potential leakage are monitored to assess the enduring performance over time.
The unique and advanced open-loop system of the SCITEQ Cyclic Pressure Testing System providies pressure cycles in the range from 2-100 bar with accuracy ≤ ± 1 bar of set pressure.
