Hydrogen is quickly becoming a key player in the clean energy sector. But for one leading user of hydrogen in a chemical industry, measuring its pressure in their systems was a major challenge. That’s when they turned to Rocksensor for a solution.

The user was facing several pressure-related issues in their production and storage systems:

• High Pressure: Their hydrogen systems operate at extremely high pressures—up to 10 MPa—requiring reliable pressure measurement solutions.
• Hydrogen Embrittlement: Hydrogen can weaken metals over time, leading to sensor failure. This was a serious concern for their operations.
• Extreme Conditions: The pressure & temperature in their hydrogen systems can fluctuate widely, making it tough to maintain accurate pressure readings.
• Safety Risks: Hydrogen is highly flammable, so the equipment had to meet the highest safety standards.
• Customized requirements of process connections.

The Challenge: Pressure Measurement in a Critical Environment with following process conditions:

• Process media: Hydrogen (H₂)

• Process temperature up to 200°C

• Pressure up to 100 Bar

• Process connection Flush type diaphragm seal
• Customized Gold plating thickness 20+ μm

They needed a pressure transmitter that could handle these challenges and keep their operations running smoothly.

The Solution: Rocksensor RP1000 Series with Gold-Plated Diaphragm

The company found the perfect solution in the Rocksensor RP1000 Series Smart Gauge Pressure Transmitter, featuring a gold-plated diaphragm. 

Here’s why it worked:

• No Hydrogen Embrittlement: The gold plating acts as a barrier, preventing hydrogen from degrading the sensor material. Rocksensor offered a customised 20μm thickness gold coating. This helped the company avoid frequent maintenance and costly replacements.
• Extreme Pressure and Temperature Performance: The RP1000 was able to perform accurately, even under extreme pressures and temperature changes.
• Safety and Compliance: With certifications like ATEX and CE, the RP1000 met the company’s strict safety standards, ensuring that their hydrogen systems were safe to operate.

The Results: Increased Efficiency and Reliability!

After integrating the RP1000 Series into their hydrogen systems, the company experienced:

• Improved Reliability: The RP1000’s gold-plated diaphragm significantly reduced sensor failures, which saved the company time and money.
• More Accurate Data: With precise pressure readings (0.1%), they were able to optimize their operations and improve system efficiency.
• Better Safety: The RP1000’s explosion-proof design and safety certifications (ATEX & IECEx) ensured that their systems met the highest safety standards, crucial for hydrogen applications.

A Game-Changer for the Hydrogen Industry!

With the success of the RP1000, this industry leader was able to enhance their systems, enabling them to focus on running their operations.

The Rocksensor RP1000 became a key part of their strategic operations, helping them maintain the highest standards of performance, safety, and reliability.
