Study of the behavior of gas distribution equipment in hydrogen service: update, 1977

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5267402
The Institute of Gas Technology is conducting an experimental program to identify problem areas that could occur with the use of conventional natural gas distribution equipment in hydrogen service. Funded by DOE, there are 15 manufacturers and gas distribution companies which are participating by loaning or donating equipment and services. Three model test loops have been constructed and are operational: a Residential/Commercial loop with smaller sized components, an Industrial loop with larger sized components, and a small test loop for special (created) leakage tests. We are measuring flow rates and energy delivery and leakage rates, and we will note apparent problems in materials compatibility. Baseline data on natural gas operation are just becoming available.
