Title: Hydrogen meter for service in liquid sodium

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/7213847· OSTI ID:7213847

This standard establishes the requirements for the design, materials, fabrication, quality assurance, examination, and acceptance testing of a hydrogen meter and auxiliary equipment for use in radioactive or nonradioactive liquid sodium service. The meter shall provide a continuous and accurate indication of the hydrogen impurity concentration over the range 0.03 to 10 ppM hydrogen in sodium at temperatures between 800 and 1000/sup 0/F (427 and 538/sup 0/C). The meter may also be used to rapidly monitor changes in hydrogen concentration, over the same concentration range, and therefore can be used as a sensor for sodium-water reactions in LMFBR steam generators.
