Hot Hydrogen Mechanical Testing

  • 1.  Hot Hydrogen Mechanical Testing

    Posted 05-01-2023 14:34

    My company is developing a high temperature load frame with environmental controls including hydrogen gas. Our application is to develop materials for nuclear thermal propulsion applications (Nuclear Thermal Propulsion), and we are reaching out to other industries that may be interested in our testing capabilities. Does anyone have any interest in hot hydrogen mechanical testing, or know of any industries where we may be able to provide valuable information?

    Test capabilities:
    Temperature range: 500 C - 2700 C
    Environment: Up to 2 psig in H2, Ar, He, N2 (lower temp range), vacuum (lower temp range)
    Mechanical: 100 kN, 1 um/h - 300 mm/min
