MEYER composite cylinders (HDRX series) and high-pressure regulators (HDRX-R450) are engineered for the most weight-critical, mission-critical applications in the world.
From hydrogen fuel-cell drones to CubeSat cold-gas thrusters and orbital launch vehicles — our custom solutions are flying today.
Application areas
Also: laboratory test systems, high-pressure test rigs, and bespoke pressure components for research applications.
Where MEYER cylinders are flying today
MEYER COPVs and HDRX regulators are deployed across three primary application classes: hydrogen fuel-cell drones (flight-time-critical), small-satellite propulsion modules (payload-mass-critical), and orbital launch vehicles (payload-to-orbit critical). Each application has its own dominant trade-off — cycle life, gas compatibility, qualification scope — and the right cylinder is rarely the same across them. The cards above link to detailed application notes; the COPV Selector matches your specific spec to one of the five available formats.
