Presentation

Pressure sensors for testing in hydrogen environments

In the continuing efforts to improve fuel cell technology for use in fuel cell electric vehicles, testing requirements continue to grow and expand. Hydrogen, while an efficient, clean and renewable energy source, can present unique challenges for instrumentation used in testing. This talk will attempt to define those issues specific to pressure measurement requirements, particularly related to hydrogen embrittlement and permeation of materials used in pressure sensors. Additionally, a potential solution to address these challenges and the related benefits will be presented.
