Real-world use reveals flaws in hydrogen sensor performance and regs: whitepaper

The paper notes that long-term drift specifications are often quoted under ideal conditions, which do not account for real-world factors such as temperature swings, hydrogen impurities, and pressure cycling.

H2-View News: Real-world use reveals flaws in hydrogen sensor performance and regs: whitepaper

The whitepaper by Druck, hosted on h2-view.com, warned that many sensors marketed “hydrogen-compatible” can suffer from issues such as drift, embrittlement, and permeation when exposed to harsh, high-pressure hydrogen environments. Hydrogen sensors are used throughout the value chain – from electrolysers and fuelling stations to pipelines and storage – providing real-time monitoring to ensure safety, efficiency and compliance. However, the paper…
