Hydrogen Fluid Systems

Tubing System Training Program, Hydrogen Applications

One of the most formidable challenges in the development of safe, dependable, and leak-tight hydrogen fluid systems is the nature of hydrogen itself. Hydrogen is a small-molecule gas that can easily escape through the tiniest of crevices and diffuse into the materials designed to contain them. In many industrial applications, hydrogen must also be stored at pressures in excess of 700 bar for maximum cost efficiency and to achieve the necessary energy density. Further, the handling and management may require rapid thermal and pressure changes can also impact system integrity.

Building fluid systems designed to overcome these challenges requires the right components, the right materials, the right expertise, and the right training. That is why we developed the Swagelok® Tubing System Training Program for hydrogen applications. This program provides hands-on training for those responsible for designing, installing, maintaining, and/or inspecting H2 tubing systems.
