Composite Cylinders

A gas cylinder or tank is a pressure vessel used to store gases at above atmospheric pressure. Many pressure vessels are made of carbon steels these material results in increase in weight and transportation cost. The Literature survey shows that gas cylinders fails due to corrosion and difficult to transporting. In this Project work, the aim is to design a gas cylinder as per ASME standards using composite material which can be used for our day today life. Solidworks 2015 is used for 3D modelling of the cylinder and Finite Element Analysis is used to test the performance of the cylinder made of composite material and compare with Cylinder made of Steel. The results shows that stress induced in the both cylinder is nearly equal but composite cylinders results in height amount of weight saving and corrosion resistance and also decrease the transportation cost.
