Leakage measurement for hydrogen gases

This master's thesis deals with the measurement of hydrogen gas leaks and addresses key aspects related to hydrogen properties, storage, use, safety aspects, detection methods and seal testing. The study highlights the importance of safety in handling hydrogen and includes a thorough analysis of its properties. It discusses different methods of measuring hydrogen concentration and detecting leaks and assesses the suitability of different gasket materials such as polyester, elastomer, steel and graphite for use with hydrogen. Furthermore, the thesis presents experimental investigations into leakage testing. The findings of the study assist in the selection of the right gaskets and improve understanding of leak measurement techniques, which in turn improves the safety and efficiency of hydrogen applications
