UL Solutions offers advanced testing services to evaluate hydrogen compatibility and flow, pressure and temperature performance under real-world conditions. Our services help companies demonstrate compliance and accelerate product development for hydrogen applications.
Technical capabilities of hydrogen components and materials
Assess performance, durability and safety margins across a wide range of components and systems with our rigorous testing services. Our laboratories are equipped to replicate demanding operating environments for hydrogen and related gases:
- Pressure capability up to 250 MPa (gas) and 700 MPa (hydraulic)
- Flow rates up to 160 g/s
- Temperature range from -60 C to +180 C, and up to 600 C for benchtop testing
- Cryogenic testing with LN₂ and LH₂, with CcH₂ available on request
- Hydrogen compatibility testing for metallic and nonmetallic materials
