Abstract

Aluminum alloy vessels have had a successful record in cryogenic service for about a decade. Most of these applications have been under moderate pressure, i.e., under 100 psig. Recently, interest has developed in cryogenic aluminum vessels to operate at higher pressures. Safety considerations for one such application include the concept of “leak before break.” This concept assumes the presence of a flaw, and further requires that the vessel shall not fail catastrophically, even though the flaw penetrates completely through the wall.
