Impact on Equipment Longevity and Safety

A hydrogen leak poses a risk to human safety and equipment durability and performance. Hydrogen can permeate certain metals, causing a phenomenon known as hydrogen embrittlement. This process weakens the structural integrity of metal components, potentially leading to equipment failures or breakdowns. For industries relying on high-pressure systems, this embrittlement is particularly concerning, as it increases the likelihood of cracks or fractures over time.
