Storage Vessels Used in Hydrogen
Storage Vessels Used in Hydrogen
(OP)
Hi everibody.
I'm working in the design of steel storage vessel for hydrogen but I don't know exactly What material in steel I will used.
Because I have the problem the difusivity of hidrogen.
I help me.
Best regards.

1. ASME B31.12 or
2. ASME Standards Technology Publication STP-PT-006 Design Guidelines for Hydrogen Piping and Pipelines
The same concepts apply for storage vessels.

Check with UCS-6(b) for the restrictions on the use of SA-36 plate.

The fewer and smaller the flaws in your steel, the longer it will last in hydrogen service.

High Temperature Hydrogen Cracking is a condition that degrades carbon steel and is mitigated by the use of chrome moly steels.
The problem is increased when the hydrogen is stored at high temperatures. The industry uses what are called "Nelson Curves" ( developed in the late 1940s) to evaluate the risk. API has a guideline regarding the safe selection of materials.

I will check those links out.

Thanks again for the above links, they pretty much precisely answer the OP's questions. The last link was particularly interesting (Anacortes accident) in that one of the findings in the presentation was that the Nelson Curve for carbon steel may be unreliable, and so a recommendation is made to lower it to coincide with an upper temperature limit of 400 F throughout the H2 PP range.
I also came across a PDF describing Chevron's experience with carbon steels in hydrogen service in refineries, and their conclusion was to eliminate stress concentrators and threads and to make the pipe and vessels "beefy", in their words.
