Expert Commentary
Measures the Transverse Tensile Properties of Hoop-Wound Polymer Matrix Composite Cylinders. This uses a split-disk or expandable mandrel to pull a composite ring. The engineering focus is on the Apparent Tensile Strength. MTO provides the segmented Expanding Mandrels that minimize friction. This test is mandatory for manufacturers of composite pressure vessels (like hydrogen storage tanks) to ensure the filament-wound structure can withstand internal pressure without delaminating.
