Features and benefits � Custom-built facility enclosed in dedicated

testing cells behind blast door � Capable of generating unique experimental data � Standard testing atmosphere: 99.9999% purity

hydrogen gas � Can support other gases where needed � Automatic environment/temperature control � Supported by full range of analytical equipment

Some applications � Determine the effect of hydrogen on materials

and components for hydrogen service, such as hydrogen processing and storage equipment, high-pressure cylinders, pumps and valves

� Research to support growth of hydrogen as a fuel source in the automotive and aerospace sectors

� Hydrogen charging: exposing specimens to hydrogen gas at high temperatures and pressures before testing to assess materials’ susceptibility to internal hydrogen embrittlement

Technical specification � Max supported pressures: 1000 bar/450 bar � Operating temperature range: -50°C to +85°C � Max tensile load: 50 kN (1000 bar)/100 kN (450

bar) � Max compressive load: 50 kN (both vessels) � Monotonic or cyclical loading (up to 5 Hz) � Able to accept various specimen geometries
