Composite overwrapped pressure vessel
ID: composite-overwrapped-pressure-vessel
A Composite Overwrapped Pressure Vessel (COPV) is a type of pressure vessel that is designed to store high-pressure gases efficiently while being lightweight and strong. These vessels are typically composed of a liner material (usually a metal or polymer) that holds the gas, which is then wrapped with composite materials—usually a combination of fibers (like carbon or fiberglass) and resin.
