Hydrogen Infrastructure
Valve testing (ISO 19880-3), refueling standards (SAE J2601), and dispenser certification for 350/700 bar systems.
Browse Standards →Material Compatibility
Analyzing hydrogen-assisted fatigue and embrittlement (ASTM G142, ISO 11114) for metals and composite storage tanks.
Analyze Materials →Purity & Contamination
ISO 14687 compliance for fuel cells. Detecting trace impurities at parts-per-billion level for Grade D hydrogen and above.
Verify Purity →The Hydrogen Equipment Moat
Standard testing facilities are fundamentally ill-equipped for hydrogen infrastructure. The unique molecular properties of diatomic hydrogen require a capital-intensive "moat" of specialized equipment:
- 1Blast Buffers & Remote Ops: High-pressure pneumatic testing (700-1000 bar) carries a significant failure energy potential, requiring reinforced bunkers.
- 2Cryogenic Gas Handling: Maintaining liquid hydrogen at -253°C requires specialized vacuum-jacketed lines and boil-off management.
- 3In-Situ Embrittlement Rigs: Tensile and fatigue testing must occur while the material is pre-charged or actively exposed to high-pressure H2.
