The fourth in the now well established CPVS series was held in Salt Lake City, Utah (US) during December 2014. The cheery Christmas setting made for an ideal backdrop to welcome delegates from all six continents and 19 countries, including Italy, Korea, Argentina, Australia, the US, South Africa and numerous European countries.
During the three-day event there were 25 technical presentations supplemented by a variety of exhibitors via a compact range of tabletop exhibits, which added a further thought-provoking dimension to the event. There was a healthy debate after each of the presentations at the symposium, with many of the delegates contributing, who concluded that composite pressure vessels (CPVs) will remain in full focus of leading engineering disciplines, particularly those related to motor vehicle fuel tanks, in the coming decades.
The symposium brought together a wide range of expertise, melded together to share knowledge, in the rapidly developing field of CPVs. The suite of technical presentations, which included some excellent videos, was the perfect recipe to assimilate information in areas such as newly developed materials, unique winding patterns, innovative pressure vessel designs, developing retest methods, increasing manufacturing efficiency, recent progress on composite standards/regulations, and much more.
