Composite Overwrapped Pressure Vessels (COPVs) are at the heart of modern hydrogen and space applications. From automotive fuel tanks to spacecraft storage, they combine lightweight composite materials with high-strength liners to withstand extreme pressures. But before these vessels can be safely used, they must undergo rigorous testing including a beneficial COPV autofrettage. In this post,…

Precision Under Pressure – Testing Safety at 4,000 Bar In the world of automotive safety, airbag inflators are mission-critical components. They must perform reliably in a fraction of a second. Every time. To ensure that performance, manufacturers rely on high-precision burst pressure testing to validate airbag inflator integrity under extreme conditions. At Poppe + Potthoff…

Oil and hydraulic filters are subjected to significant stress during operation. From repeated pressure pulses to sudden spikes in flow, these components must be robust and reliable. Therefore, manufacturers rely on pressure cycle testing and burst testing to validate filter housings and internal elements before releasing them to the market or entering series production. What is pressure cycle…

Introduction: The Global Shift Towards Stricter Emission Standards In recent years, the automotive industry has faced increasing pressure, not just within engines and fuel systems, but from governments worldwide demanding cleaner, more efficient vehicles. At the forefront of this movement are stringent emission standards like Europe’s Euro 6 and China’s adaptation, known as China 7.…
