Abstract

See full text

A method is provided for assessing whether a container (12) for a stored gas can maintain a predetermined gas pressure. The method includes the steps of: producing a magnetic field with an inductive heating element (19, 35); placing the container (12) containing a quantity of the stored gas in the magnetic field; inductively heating the container (12) to elevate the pressure of the stored gas to an elevated pressure greater than the predetermined gas pressure; and thereafter testing the container (12) for an indication of potential inability of the container to maintain the stored gas at the predetermined gas pressure.
