Metal. CNG-2 Metal liner reinforced with resin impregnated continuous filament (hoop wrapped) CNG-3 Metal liner reinforced with resin impregnated continuous filament (fully wrapped) CNG-4 Resin impregnated continuous filament with a non-metallic liner (all composite) Service conditions to which the cylinders will be subjected are detailed in paragraph 4. of this annex. This annex is based upon a working pressure for natural gas as a fuel of 20 MPa settled at 15 °C with a maximum filling pressure of 26 MPa. Other working pressures can be accommodated by adjusting the pressure by the appropriate factor (ratio). For example, a 25 MPa working pressure system will require pressures to be multiplied by 1.25. The service life of the cylinder shall be defined by the manufacturer and may vary with applications. Definition of service life is based upon filling the cylinders 1,000 times a year for a minimum of 15,000 fills. The maximum service life shall be 20 years. For metal and metal-lined cylinders, the cylinder life is based upon the rate of fatigue crack growth. The ultrasonic inspection, or equivalent, of each cylinder or liner is required to ensure the absence of flaws which exceed the maximum allowable size. This approach permits the optimized design and manufacture of light weight cylinders for natural gas vehicle service. For all-composite cylinders with non-metallic non-load bearing liners the "safe life" is demonstrated by appropriate design methods, design qualification testing and manufacturing controls.
