Cylinder Vaporization Rates StudyDocket:11727 This study tested the vaporization rates of different metallic and
composite grill cylinders to obtain comparable data for market use.
Researchers vetted test protocol to determine thoroughness and
repeatability. |
Regulatory Approval of Composite Propane CylindersDocket:10662 The use of composite propane cylinders in on-road applications requires
approval by the Department of Transportation. Researchers launched and
coordinated efforts to authorize the use of composites for propane
cylinders in the United States by the Department of Transportation.
These efforts involved evaluating the potential for composite cylinders
and identifying regulatory obstacles. |
