Druck and Hydrogen

Druck can offer hydrogen capable pressure sensors.

The advancement of renewable energy production, transportation and utilisation has seen a global trend towards hydrogen as a solution.

Hydrogen is being treated as a cornerstone of this energy transition and will be a crucial step to our net-zero future, yet it poses some unique engineering challenges.

The increased utilisation of hydrogen gas requires pressure measurement instrumentation that enables safe and efficient gas management, with a growing demand for suitable technology. Hydrogen can negatively impact the performance of pressure measurement technology, degrading stability and accuracy through hydrogen embrittlement and/or permeation.

As a market leader, at the forefront of high-performance pressure measurement for 50 years, Druck, a Baker Hughes business is globally recognised as a solution provider for many of the world's most challenging applications. In an industry defined by innovation and a drive towards green energy, Druck can offer hydrogen capable pressure sensors that combine proven industrial sensing technologies, with innovative new solutions to ensure optimum performance in the market.

What gives Druck's hydrogen pressure sensors their market-leading characteristics is the technology within the sensor. The high‑performance barrier coating and carefully selected substrate material used in the isolation diaphragm for the UNIK5000H and the RPS/DPS8000H minimises the impact of hydrogen permeation and extends the life of the pressure sensor, offering class leading long term stability and use in harsh applications.

Our Hydrogen pressure sensors:

- UNIK5000H

Configurable hydrogen pressure sensor

The UNIK5000H is a hydrogen compatible pressure sensor that is based on the successful UNIK industrial, configurable sensing platform.

With pressure ranges from 700 mbar to 700 bar, the UNIK5000H pressure sensor is ideal for hydrogen test, gas networks and filling station applications.

- RPS/DPS8000H

Hydrogen pressure sensor

We have taken the highest accuracy, industrial pressure sensor on the market and combined it with our innovative high-performance barrier coating diaphragm technology to create the RPS/DPS8000H sensor for the ultimate performance in hydrogen applications.

With unrivalled accuracy and stability from 2 bar to 200 bar, the RPS/DPS8000H is an ideal solution for harsh hydrogen applications including gas turbines control or precision hydrogen system testing.
