Sinoma Chengdu celebrates its 100,000th 260L carbon fiber fully wound composite gas cylinder

 Sinoma Science and Technology (Chengdu)’s 100,000th 260L steel liner carbon fiber fully wound composite gas cylinder successfully rolled off the production line. More than 60 people including the company’s middle-level and above cadres, technical backbones, and front-line employee representatives participated in the event.

The 260L steel liner carbon fiber fully wound composite gas cylinder is an attempt to fully respond to the lightweight development direction of the gas cylinder market. 

In 2016, China’s national standard of the automobile industry, “Outline Dimensions, Axle Loads and Mass Limits of Automobiles, Trailers and Automobile Trains” was released, and greatly lowered the mass limit of vehicles. Sinoma Chengdu had a keen insight into the lightweight needs of the gas cylinder market, and quickly made a decision to develop weight-reducing gas cylinders through in-depth research. With industry experience and innovation spirit, the company’s R&D team quickly developed a 260L steel liner carbon fiber fully wound composite gas cylinder, and began mass production in April 2018. 

The successful development of this product has achieved a 22% increase in gas cylinder volume compared with traditional products, a 20% increase in cruising range, and a cumulative weight reduction of 1.1 tons for a single heavy commercial truck. 

Sinoma Chengdu has been deeply involved in the gas cylinder industry for more than ten years, and its products are widely used in automobile manufacturing, gas storage and transportation, drones, and special equipment. A series of innovative products such as 210L 320L 385L hydrogen storage cylinders as well as 70MPa domestic carbon fiber hydrogen storage cylinders have successively won awards from the Sichuan Enterprise Technology Center, Sichuan High-growth Enterprise, Chengdu Unicorn, and Chengdu Invisible Champion Enterprise.
