Hydraulic burst pressure test of Type IV composite pressure vessel

The present dataset belongs to a hydraulic burst pressure test of one Type IV vessel designed to burst at 200 bar. Before testing, the vessel was inspected by ultrasonic measurements. During burst pressure test, strain gauges at nine positions within the cylindrical part and the dome region of the tank recorded the deformation behavior of the vessel. The dataset provides information on the nominal tank design and winding layup, data of geometrical measurement of a nominal identical vessel, data of the ultrasonic inspection and the pressure and strain gauge data recorded during burst pressure test. Assembling this information, the data set provides an experimental validation basis for simulation methods aiming to predict deformation and damage behavior of composite pressure vessels.
