Composite Cluster Singapore and Seifert and Skinner Group join forces for composite pressure vessels
These vessels encompass a large variety of sizes, ranging from small composite pressure vessels (CPV), such as the ones used in consumer or specialized industrial applications, up to large scale CPVs used in offshore, oil & gas.
Together, both groups address the growing needs for composite pressure vessel design, manufacturing and certification in the Asia-Pacific region. This partnership allows both companies to combine their expertise and networks to provide a one-stop solution with a local team operating out of Singapore.
At the heart of the partnership is the software suite Composicad, a product of SSG company Composicad, Inc. It is a set of software packages that generate the patterns needed by CNC equipment to produce filament wound and fiber placed composite parts. Composicad focuses on the whole part, making it very easy to generate and maintain winding patterns. Composicad generates the most accurate and fastest winding patterns. It is a key element to support customers setting up CPV manufacturing or upgrading their operations.
Another Seifert and Skinner Group company, Optimum CPV, also brings the ability to design, prototype, test and certify composite pressure vessels to any standard. Optimum CPV has filament winding equipment and the design resources to develop and manufacture optimized prototypes. During the past year, US$ 300.000 were invested to upgrade the testing equipment to certify large size cylinders for CNG transportation of more than 1000 L and high pressure hydrogen tanks for automotive applications at 350- 700 bar.
