Explore the dos and don'ts of handling hydrogen, a valuable but flammable gas. Get insights into its risks, precautions, and necessary equipment for safe use and transportation.
E N D
Hydrogen • Just the name causes lots of FUD • Almost wouldn't sell it to us in the beginning • Now almost can't buy Helium • Demands respect, but mostly the same as Helium
Hydrogen • Uses different fittings than He (CGA-350) • Recommended to use regulator (although they recommend for He too) • Is flammable under right conditions
HydrogenFlammability • Hindenburg's rocket-fuel-doped (thermalite) skins were probably a contributing factor • Hydrogen WILL NOT BURN without the presence of Oxygen • Regulators theoretically reduce the risk of friction/spark ignition, BUT see note 2 above • A leaky cylinder inside of a vehicle would be VERY dangerous

HydrogenWhat's Needed? • CGA-350 (Hydrogen) to CGA-580 (Nitrogen) Adapter • Same apparatus that is used for Helium • Some common sense and forethought
DON'T transport inside vehicles DON'T smoke DON'T fill indoors HydrogenDo's and Don'ts • DO prevent air from entering balloon • DO purge the fill line • DO take static-electricity precautions • DO carry fire extinguishers
