  9. 4th International Conference on Hydrogen Safety 中国·北京2011-05-12 September 12-14, 2011 San Francisco, California, USA 1. Introduction Nevertheless, extension and accessibility of hydrogen technology still need continual improvement. Safety issue is one of the stumbling blocks on the way towards commercialization of the new technology. Development of regulations, codes and standards on hydrogen safety is a primary ingredient in overcoming those difficulties. Table 1. Main standards on safety of hydrogen systems The main standards on safety of hydrogen systems China also constantly strives to carry out standardization of hydrogen safety and formulated the first China National Standard on hydrogen system safety - “Essential safety requirements for hydrogen systems”.

  10. 4th International Conference on Hydrogen Safety 中国·北京2011-05-12 September 12-14, 2011 San Francisco, California, USA 2. Key points of the standard The primary hazards related to hydrogen systems can be summarized as follows: Table 1. Main standards on safety of hydrogen systems • Hydrogen embrittlement (HE) • Leakage and permeation • Flammability and explosion • Overpressure • Low temperature • Solid state hydrogen storage hazards • Physiological hazards Considering severity and importance of risk, the new standard is especially focused on: • metal hydrogen compatibility • risk control of flammability and explosion New China National Standard on Safety of Hydrogen Systems: Keys for Understanding and Use 车用纤维缠绕高压氢气瓶标准基础研究

  11. 4th International Conference on Hydrogen Safety 中国·北京2011-05-12 September 12-14, 2011 San Francisco, California, USA 2. Key points of the standard 2.1 metal hydrogen compatibility Table 1. Main standards on safety of hydrogen systems Metal hydrogen compatibility is a basic requirement for those materials in contact with hydrogen. The harmful effects of high-pressure hydrogen on metals are usually reflected in remarkable decrease of percentage reduction of area after fracture. Material deterioration caused by hydrogen greatly increases the risk of sudden failure of hydrogen systems. Due to HE, lots of metallic materials commonly used in pressure vessels and pipes can not be used in hydrogen systems.

  12. 4th International Conference on Hydrogen Safety 中国·北京2011-05-12 September 12-14, 2011 San Francisco, California, USA 2. Key points of the standard 2.1 metal hydrogen compatibility Although the mechanism of HE is still impenetrable, extensive study has been made by researchers from the United States, Japan, Canada, etc. Work on modeling, simulation, prediction of hydrogen-induced crack initiation and growth, and HE test has been done so much. Table 1. Main standards on safety of hydrogen systems . HE of stainless steels increases with temperature decrease, reaches a maximum between 150 and 250 K, and then decreases with further temperature decrease. HE of stainless steels will not occur when nickel equivalent is above 27%, regardless of temperature change.
