• Abstract:
  This research evaluated the fire test and primary closure test procedures outlined in the draft United Nations Economic Council for Europe Global Technical Regulation GTR No. 13 and the revised NHTSA test methods, as opposed to examining individual specimens. This report is divided into two parts: Part 1 covers the fire tests where two series of tests on compressed hydrogen storage systems evaluated the fire test procedures. Part 2 tested primary closure components including the thermally activated pressure relief device, check valves, and shutoff valves, following the draft GTR No. 13 procedure. Based on findings, the test methods were revised, and both fire and primary closure testing were repeated using the updated procedures.
