Study of the behavior of gas distribution equipment in hydrogen service. Update. 1977

Conference · · Gas Abstr.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6883290
In order to identify potential problem areas related to the use of conventional natural gas distribution equipment for hydrogen service, the Institute of Gas Technology is conducting experiments on test loops representing residential-commercial and industrial distribution systems. After obtaining baseline data on natural gas operation, researchers will measure flow rates, energy delivery, and leakage rates for hydrogen, noting problems in materials compatibility. A small safety test model will provide a means of defining problems associated with mechanical or corrosion leaks, leak clamps, and ruptures.
