Abstract: Fiber reinforced plastic pressure vessel is widely used in China. New national regulations and national standards have been published recently. This paper explains how to classify pressure vessels according to the new national standards and regulations, and explains the technical content associated with fiber reinforced plastics pressure vessels. This paper provides the design method of fiber reinforced plastic pressure vessel. The quality inspection and acceptance methods of fiber reinforced plastic pressure vessel are presented, which put forward the definition and criterion of appearance quality in detail, provide the mechanics performance test and water pressure test method, and put forward the method of acoustic emission testing. In accordance with the relevant provisions of the national regulations, specific requirements for pressure vessel test of pressure vessels are put forward in this standard. As a non-destructive testing technology, acoustic emission is widely used in international standards. The acoustic emission detection technology is introduced into the detection of glass fiber reinforced plastics pressure vessel manufacturing industry, and the test procedures and methods are summarized through field experiments.

Key words: national standard, super regulation, fiber reinforced plastic, pressure vessels
