Steelhead Composites Receives ASME Certification for Fiber-Reinforced Plastic Pressure Vessels (FRPs) – compressed hydrogen storage.
Company adds yet another certification for the manufacture of lightweight pressure vessels and systems for compressed hydrogen storage
Curt Honcharik, Director of Quality Systems, Steelhead Composites, said:
With our recent ASME RP certification, the stationary users of hydrogen can be confident our products are in compliance with some of the most stringent pressure vessel codes.
Steelhead Composites, an industry leader in the design and manufacture of compressed hydrogen storage systems, announced their certification to American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section X, RP. This certification ensures components manufactured by Steelhead meet the highest level of standards in the industry.
Steelhead is authorized for all three classes of vessel design, enabling Steelhead to deliver their novel HydrogenCube™ storage systems for grid-scale fuel cells, gas turbines, hydrogen buffer storage, green ammonia generation, and other stationary applications.
The standard provides requirements for construction of fiber-reinforced plastic pressure vessels (FRPs) in conformance with a manufacturer’s design report. It includes production, processing, fabrication, inspection, and testing methods required for the vessels and systems.
Curt Honcharik, Director of Quality Systems at Steelhead, said:
Steelhead has established itself as a leader in the manufacturing of lightweight, next-generation safe and certified hydrogen storage solutions.
“And, with ASME RP certification, the stationary users of hydrogen can be confident our products are in compliance with some of the most stringent pressure vessel codes.”
Steelhead Composites HydrogenCubes™ are modular units consisting of manifolded RP-certified Composite Overwrapped Pressure Vessels (COPVs) storing between 18 kg and 1.2 tons of hydrogen. The company also holds several additional certifications including ISO-9001, 14001, 11119-2, AS-9100, CE-PED-Module B and D, DOT FMVSS 204, and DNVG-OS-E101.
