A 70 MPa hydrogen environment fatigue test system has been designed and applied in the manufacture of a hydrogen storage vessel. The key equipment is a 80 MPa flat steel ribbon wound high pressure hydrogen storage vessel. A reasonable stress distribution has been realized, which is low stress on the liner of the pressure vessel and even stress on the flat ribbon layers. This optimal stress distribution is achieved through the adjustment of the prestress in flat steel ribbons. A control system for the fatigue test system has also been designed. It consists of a double control model, manual control and automatic control, to satisfy different experiment requirements. The system is the only one which can be used in the real hydrogen environmental fatigue test system in China. An experiment for a 70 MPa onboard composite material hydrogen vessel has been carried out on the system. The experimental results from this test are in close agreement with the practical operating conditions.
