SELECTION OF MATERIALS FOR FUELLINGSELECTION OF MATERIALS FOR FUELLINGCONNECTORSCONNECTORS
Hydrogen compatible materials for parts exposed to high pressure hydrogen
Non hydrogen compatible materials only for :
Material not exposed to hydrogen Material used at a low enough stress If a risk analysis shows that the failure has
no consequence on the safe use If the connector is only used for a short
period (to be checked by fatigue test)
