Guidelines for reliable fluid systems
Safety remains our utmost priority. Discover our suggestions and solutions for ensuring secure fluid systems, tailored to meet industry demands and uphold the highest standards of reliability.
When strategizing projects involving alternative fuels like hydrogen or methane, it's crucial to consider the following factors:
- Correct material choice: Choosing appropriate materials is vital, particularly considering the specific issues related to hydrogen embrittlement. Hydrogen embrittlement can impact materials like 316 stainless steel, often utilized in fittings, valves, and hoses.
- Functionality at elevated pressures: Components need to function reliably under elevated pressures. This necessitates the use of high-quality materials and designs that can withstand extreme conditions.
- Tailored components for specific applications: Each application may present unique demands. It's essential to select components that are specifically optimized for the particular application to ensure both optimal performance and safety.
- Dependable assistance: In the planning and execution of projects involving alternative fuels, having reliable support from experts is paramount. From providing guidance on material selection to seamlessly integrating components into the system, having competent assistance is vital for the success of your project.
FK Series fittings and adapters, designed to withstand medium pressure levels of up to 1,378 bar (20,000 psig)
Similarly to industrial settings, fittings and connections utilized in automotive applications with hydrogen must endure continuous pressure and vibrations reliably.
For example, cone and thread fittings are assembled manually, so the quality of tube preparation relies on the skill of the assembler. In hydrogen applications, imperfections can lead to severe consequences as hydrogen is unforgiving. Its small molecules can escape through minute gaps, making even the smallest leaks a significant concern.
TIP: Given the elevated pressure, escalating energy, and consequently, heightened potential hazards, it's wise to automate high-pressure valves rather than operate them manually. We're ready to offer you a quotation for powered needle valves, pressure regulators and more, ensuring the utmost safety for your employees.
These factors underscore the necessity of efficient and dependable fitting technology like Swagelok's FK Series to guarantee safe operation.
