Course description
This course provides a comprehensive examination of the inspection and maintenance of hydrogen installations, covering pipelines, piping systems, machinery, storage systems, and transportation. Participants will explore key damage mechanisms, such as hydrogen embrittlement and high-temperature hydrogen attack (HTHA), and their impact on material selection and system integrity. Advanced inspection techniques, including ultrasonic and radiographic testing, will be introduced alongside real-world case studies to highlight critical challenges and solutions in hydrogen environments. The course also addresses maintenance strategies, focusing on predictive maintenance, leak detection, and repair methods for hydrogen service components. Through case studies, participants will gain insights into failures, lessons learned, and best practices, equipping them with practical tools for maintaining the safety and reliability of hydrogen systems.
