ISO 15174 Gas Chromatography Testing for Hydrogen Purity
The European Standard ISO 15174 provides a comprehensive framework for the analysis of hydrogen purity, which is critical in ensuring the safety and efficiency of hydrogen fuel systems. This standard outlines the procedures for determining impurities in hydrogen gas by utilizing gas chromatographic techniques. Our laboratory adheres strictly to this standard to deliver accurate and reliable results.
The testing process involves collecting samples from various sources such as electrolyzers, storage tanks, or distribution networks, which are then prepared according to ISO 15174 guidelines. This ensures that the integrity of the sample is maintained throughout the analysis. Once prepared, these samples undergo chromatographic separation using a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) instrument equipped with a flame ionization detector (FID). The HPLC method allows for the precise identification and quantification of trace impurities in hydrogen gas.
Following the chromatographic separation, we interpret the data to identify any contaminants that may affect the performance or safety of hydrogen fuel systems. This includes volatile organic compounds (VOCs), nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and other potentially harmful substances. The results are reported back to clients in accordance with ISO 15174 requirements, providing a clear picture of the purity levels and any necessary corrective actions.
The accuracy and precision of our testing methodologies are further enhanced by our state-of-the-art instrumentation. This includes advanced chromatographic columns designed specifically for hydrogen analysis, alongside robust calibration protocols that ensure consistent results across multiple tests. Our team of experts is trained to handle complex samples with minimal risk of contamination or degradation, ensuring the integrity of each test result.
Hydrogen purity testing plays a crucial role in several sectors including renewable energy, automotive, and industrial applications where hydrogen is used as an energy carrier. By adhering strictly to ISO 15174 standards, we provide clients with confidence that their products meet strict regulatory requirements and perform optimally.
Our laboratory has extensive experience in conducting such tests across various industries, from research institutions to large-scale manufacturing facilities. We understand the importance of hydrogen purity in maintaining high-quality fuel systems and have developed robust testing protocols tailored specifically for this purpose.
