“We’re always looking for ways to improve our systems, and AMS cylinders tick a lot of boxes. In terms of performance, they conform to all the relevant standards, and they are lighter than competing cylinders, which translates to real-world tactical benefits for our users. The clean, white design complements the look and feel of our [...]
Drone technology is advancing quickly. Until recently, the vast majority of consumer drones have been powered by traditional lithium batteries, but in the quest for greater range, running time and loadbearing capacity, manufacturers are shifting their focus towards hydrogen fuel cells. This year alone, several companies have brought hydrogen drones to market – heralding a [...]
At AMS Composite Cylinders, we supply lightweight, high performance carbon composite cylinders for a huge range of interesting applications – with an excellent track record in the aerospace industry. Earlier in the year, we supplied some of our advanced, fully wrapped carbon composite cylinders to Dr. Stephen Andrews of the Wolfston Atmospheric Chemistry Laboratories (WACL) [...]
When it comes to portable oxygen therapy, there are two main options for delivery. These are portable cylinders which contain compressed oxygen gas, or oxygen concentrators, which use a battery powered system to compress and filter air, in order to create a consistent supply of concentrated oxygen. In this post, AMS Composite Cylinders Technical Director, [...]
Are we set for a hydrogen powered transport network? In the future, will we all be travelling on hydrogen powered planes, trains and automobiles? In this final part of our in-depth series on hydrogen powered vehicles (check out parts 1, 2and 3for more), AMS Composite Cylinders Director Steve Langron looks to the future – beyond [...]
The global speciality gases market is growing fast. To meet this demand, there are now more solutions that ever before when it comes to gas cylinders. At AMS Composite Cylinders, we supply standardised and bespoke carbon composite and aluminium cylinders for a full range of speciality gas applications, including research, analysis, calibration, manufacturing and process [...]
This month, growing concerns over the instability of global commodity prices and the rising cost of aluminium is driving raw material cost increases at some of the world’s leading cylinder manufacturers. The result for many customers is an inevitable price rise. Thankfully, at AMS Composite Cylinders, we will not need to have difficult conversations with [...]
In the UK, the number of patients requiring oxygen therapy is on the rise – thanks to an increase in respiratory conditions, including asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Oxygen therapy can deliver huge benefits in terms of maintaining patient independence and quality of life. It also comes with everyday challenges and real risks [...]
Is hydrogen really the fuel of the future? Will our service stations offer ‘hydrogen pumps’ alongside petrol and diesel in the near future? Can hydrogen bridge the gap and catch up with the EV charging network? As we look for ways of reducing carbon emissions and our reliance on fossil fuels, Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles [...]
As the automotive industry looks towards environmentally friendly, sustainable solutions, Hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (HFCEV) are becoming an increasingly common sight on the world’s roads. Last month on the blog, AMS Composite Cylinders Director Steve Langron took a look at some of the pros and cons of hydrogen powered cars– examining how the technology [...]
