Hydrogen Leak Detection
Hydrogen Leak Detection
(OP)
Can anyone provide information on leak detection in hydrogen piping systems.
I work for a specialty steel maker that uses hydrogen atmospheres in processing of steel. We have several plants using this process and I have been asked to find a way to detect leaks resulting from an accident at another steel maker.
Thanks for your time!

Couple of issues that come up with using flammable gas detectors.
- If used outdoors, they are less reliable because the gas leak can easily be swept away. Inside a box or enclosure of some kind can concentrate the leak, thus are more effective. You need to consider carefully where they are of best use. We've put them near ventilation holes in enclosures.
- Another problem regards the ability of these things to pick up other flammable gasses such as CO and give a false reading. Not sure why they can't be adjusted to be less sensitive.
We wouldn't use anything like this unless it were a customer specified requirement. Too many problems with them.
