Impact of Hydrogen and on NTS Oils & Greases – Phase 2
Abstract
Phase 1 of the project compiled a list of oils and greases considered to be gas-facing on the NTS, along with identifying functional and material property requirements of these products. Proposed standards and testing methodologies were also outlined to inform the next phase of the project. In Phase 2, the project will proceed with additional required activities to ensure the safe utilisation of NTS oils/greases in a hydrogen pressurised environment. These activities include laboratory testing for lubricants and functional testing for sealants to assess degradation and performance of these products in hydrogen. Subsequently, requirements for in-service monitoring will be identified.
