Abstract

A mount is configured for attachment to a neck of a pressure vessel that has a body having a height and width. The mount includes a central plate, and first and second flanges. The central plate has a height and width, both of which are approximately equal to or less than the respective height and width of the pressure vessel body, and an aperture. The first and second flanges are located at opposed first and second sides of the central plate, respectively, are oriented substantially perpendicular to the central plate, and are configured to extend toward the body. The central plate has a cut-out portion that borders at least one of the first and second flanges.

Abstract

A system includes a first valve fluidly connected to a first vessel and a second valve fluidly connected to a second vessel. The first valve includes a body and a piston. The body includes first and second ports and a bore having a longitudinal axis. The first port is in communication with the bore and an interior of the first vessel. The second port is in communication with the bore, the second valve, and an atmosphere exterior to the first vessel. The piston is movable along the longitudinal axis of the bore. A first position of the piston blocks the first port; a second position of the piston allows fluid communication between the first and second ports. The first valve is configured so that fluid pressure from the second valve, communicating through the second port, urges the piston to the second position.

Abstract

Provided herein are systems and methods for real time processing of signals from an array of transducers for detecting transient elastic waves originating from unknown locations in a body, which may propagate in a dispersive fashion. The systems and methods allow real time combination and analysis of signals, including decisions regarding storage as new data is received. The methods described herein include designing arrays of detectors and methods for processing signals in real time given the constraints of the body under test determining whether to store the set of information while a new set of information is received for processing within a real time environment. The methods described herein include methods which result in the determination or small time shifts which place all signals into a coherent time base which are then combined achieving a composite waveform that possesses an increased signal-to-noise ratio over any single element.

Abstract

A pressure indicator (28) includes a body (58), a piston (32), first (68) and second (74) biasing elements, and a rotatable disc (38). The piston (32) is disposed at least partially in a bore (82) of the body (58) at a first longitudinal axial position relative to the body (58) when pressure of fluid acting on the base (30) is below a threshold pressure. The first biasing element (68) is disposed between a base (30) of the piston (32) and a shoulder (72) of the body (58), wherein a force of the first biasing element (68) is overcome by pressure of fluid acting on the base (30) at or above the threshold pressure, thereby allowing the piston (32) to move to a second longitudinal axial position. The rotatable disc (38) has a first rotational position when the piston (32) is in the first axial position. The second biasing element (74) is configured to urge the disc (38) to a second rotational position when the piston (32) is in the second axial position.

Abstract

Provided herein are systems and methods for achieving an extended service life for a pressure vessel that has experienced a prior service life. In some embodiments, the service life of the vessel has expired. The service vessel has an unknown damage condition, including defects sustained during the service life. Despite these defects and unknown accumulated damage state, the embodiments described herein may be used to test these vessels, to safely pressurize the vessels beyond pressures deemed safe for the vessel to experience in its damaged state, and to recommission a new service life for the vessel. The recommissioning of the vessel for an additional service interval may include meeting certain requirements for the pressure vessel, and embodiments described herein include exemplary measurements and observations to assure these requirements of the rejuvenated vessel are met.

Abstract

A boss for a pressure vessel has a flange with a threaded peripheral surface.
The boss
may be inserted into a prefabricated dome-shaped end of a liner. Because the
outer diameter of
flange at its peripheral surface can be typically larger than an opening of
the liner, the liner is
flexed to allow passage of the larger boss flange, which is then connected to
the liner from the
interior of the liner. This leads to a secure connection, wherein a boss and
liner are connected not
only by cooperating threaded structures at the peripheral surface of the boss
flange and at an
opening of the liner, but also by a liner portion that overlies part of the
boss flange.

Provided herein are systems and methods for real time processing of signals from an array of transducers for detecting transient elastic waves originating from unknown locations in a body, which may propagate in a dispersive fashion. The systems and methods allow real time combination and analysis of signals, including decisions regarding storage as new data is received. The methods described herein include designing arrays of detectors and methods for processing signals in real time given the constraints of the body under test determining whether to store the set of information while a new set of information is received for processing within a real time environment. The methods described herein include methods which result in the determination or small time shifts which place all signals into a coherent time base which are then combined achieving a composite waveform that possesses an increased signal-to-noise ratio over any single element.

Abstract

A system includes a valve, handle, guide, arm, channel, and projection. The handle is proximate the valve and is configured to open and close the valve. The handle is in a first position when the valve is open and in a second position when the valve is closed. The guide is connected to the handle. The arm is connected to the guide. The channel is located on one of the guide or the arm, the channel having opposed first and second ends. The projection is located on the other of the guide or the arm, the projection configured to be received in the channel. Moving the projection past a location of the first end of the channel pulls the guide and the handle, thereby moving the handle from the first position to the second position. The projection can be moved toward the second end while the handle remains in the second position.
