Micro-credential Description

This micro-credential explains the skills and knowledge required to work with hydrogen piping equipment, venting and cleaning techniques. It also provides an introduction into common types of valves used in hydrogen supply systems, supply system maintenance and above and underground piping system design. Due to the highly flammable nature of hydrogen and the potential impacts on the environment through leakage, it is important to understand how hydrogen systems work and how they should be maintained.

Topics Covered

• Hydrogen piping equipment, venting, and cleaning
• Piping section requirements, materials and design
• Venting to the atmosphere
• Common valve types
• Cleaning hydrogen pipelines
• Hydrogen supply system maintenance
• Aboveground piping system design
• Underground piping system design
• Leakage surveys and risk assessment of pipeline systems
• Storage equipment and controls used in hydrogen supply systems
