Composite Pressure Vessels

Amalga Composites produces built-to-spec, fiber-reinforced composite pressure vessels in a wide range of sizes and operating pressures. Composite pressure vessels are typically constructed with a filament overwrap of fiberglass, carbon fiber or Kevlar. Fiberglass is the most frequently selected filament material because it has excellent tensile properties and is the least expensive option. Carbon Fiber is used when stiffness and weight considerations are critical. Carbon fiber’s tensile strength is comparable to fiberglass, but its tensile modulus is four times greater.
