Diagnostic system and diagnostic method for determining a state of a pressurized gas tank made of fiber-reinforced plastic

Abstract

The present invention relates to a diagnostic system (103) for determining a state of a pressurized gas tank (101) made of fiber-reinforced plastic. The diagnostic system (103) comprises an excitation element (105), a sensor (109) and an evaluation unit (113), wherein the excitation element (105) is configured to introduce sound waves into the pressurized gas tank (101), wherein the sensor (109) is configured to sense sound waves conducted into the pressurized gas tank (101) by the excitation element (105), and wherein the evaluation unit (113) is configured to associate respective measured values determined by the sensor (109) with a characteristic value, describing a state of the pressurized gas tank (101) and outputting the associated characteristic on an output unit.
