The present investigation has provided a valuable insight into the design, fabrication and performance of filament-wound pressure vessels. The long-term stress rupture data generated under the contract is perhaps the only available lifetime data of its kind for Kevlar 49/epoxy pressure vessels. Now, it is clear that Kevlar 49/epoxy pressure vessels can be made to last at least 9 years at 50% of the static burst pressure.
