Abstract
A vessel made of composite material wound on a metallic liner is tested via holographic interferometry, in which the interference of two holographic images of a tested zone are taken under two different states of thermal cycling. The thermal cycling is homogeneously applied to the entire liner, via a heated fluid placed inside the vessel. The interferogram is made outside the vessel, where a second image is made after having raised the liner to a temperature different from the one duly measured when the first image is made. The second image shot is controlled by the detection, outside and near the vessel, of a variation of the outer infrared radiation emitted by the vessel, resulting from the liner temperature variation being equal to a predetermined threshold value.
