AIR4725A - Long-Term Storage Reliability of High Pressure Gas Containers for Pneumatic Actuation Systems

Details
Document Number: AIR4725A
Revision Number: A
Title
Long-Term Storage Reliability of High Pressure Gas Containers for Pneumatic Actuation Systems
Scope
This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) provides design data reliability information relative to the long-term storage of gas containers or pressure vessels charged with nitrogen or helium at pressures ranging from 6000 to 12 000 psi. The gas containers are cylindrical, spherical, or toroidal in shape. Internal volumes range up to 1385 in3. Applications for this type cold gas actuation system include tactical missiles, guided projectiles, and smart bombs. A typical system is described.
