Valve solutions for hydrogen applications

Hydrogen is considered to be a versatile energy carrier of the future that does not emit direct greenhouse gases in use. At the same time, the medium hydrogen places high demands on valves. Hydrogen is the lightest element in the periodic table, has a high gravimetric energy density and can lead to material embrittlement under certain conditions. Key aspects to be considered when selecting valves for use in hydrogen are outlined in the following article:
