| description | For the upcoming hydrogen economy, transport pipelines for hydrogen gas and gas mixtures of hydrogen and natural gas are one of the important components. For the application of steel in hydrogen gas it is necessary to handle the risk of hydrogen embrittlement by adapting the right knowledge. Compared to existing hydrogen pipelines, which are safely running since decades, higher gas pressures and steel strength levels are in discussion. For a safe operation and limited resource consumption it is necessary to clarify the product requirements. The semi-finished products medium and large line pipes and bends are regarded over the production chain: pre-material, hot rolled strip, welded pipes, and induction bent pipes. The interaction of hydrogen with steel is investigated since decades. For hydrogen gas, the surface reaction with steel is considerably reduced compared to other corrosion reactions i.e. with sour gas. This results in a much lower amount of introduced hydrogen atoms within the material. Results of lab trials of different materials after storage in pressured hydrogen gas will be shown to clarify this point. Furthermore, results of tests of applicability of commonly used flow coats in hydrogen atmosphere are shown. For a possible failure scenario of a hydrogen transport line the investigations must be focused on local effects of hydrogen enrichment in conjunction with mechanical loads. There are different laboratory tests possible to evaluate these material reactions. They are shown and discussed in the view of the following aspects: product qualification, further product and specification development and suitable approval tests. |
