High-Pressure Flasks and Cylinders
CP Industries’ defense-grade products are custom-engineered for maximum performance and unparalleled durability.
Navy Flasks: Specs and Performance
The high-pressure flasks we supply to the U.S. Navy are engineered for extreme pressure applications. They undergo advanced testing, including ultrasonic shear wave testing, to ensure maximum wall thickness integrity and avoid defects. These military gas storage vessels provide dependable containment for gases like oxygen, nitrogen, and air in systems that demand consistent performance under stress.
Aerospace and Propulsion Applications
Our compressed gas storage solutions are essential in applications that require a precise, high-pressure impulse, such as:
- Launch Systems: Providing stored energy for actuation and control systems.
- Emergency Egress Systems: Ensuring reliable deployment and function of critical safety mechanisms.
Compliance and Quality Standards
Defense contracts require impeccable quality assurance, manufacturing consistency, and comprehensive documentation. We are experts in providing a full compliance package for every product.
Documentation, Traceability, and Multi-Year Contracts
We maintain complete documentation and material traceability from raw steel sourcing through final testing. This includes rigorous adherence to User Design Specifications (UDS) for proposed cycles and inspection intervals. Our ability to manage complex, multi-year government contracts demonstrates our stability and commitment as a long-term defense partner.
DOT, ASME, and ISO Certifications
Every vessel is manufactured to the highest international and domestic standards, providing confidence in global supply chains:
- ASME Standards: Manufacturing to ASME Section VIII, Division 1 and Division 2 (and Division 3 for ultra-high-pressure storage of gases) ensures reliable ground storage.
- DOT/ISO Compliance: Adherence to DOT specifications and ISO 11120/UN standards ensures vessels used in transport are fully certified for the movement of high-pressure gases.
