Safety in the Hydrogen Industry
Hydrogen is a versatile and clean energy source that has the potential to play a major role in the transition to a net-zero future. However, it is also a highly flammable gas, so safety is paramount when working with hydrogen. One of the most important safety devices in any hydrogen system is a safety valve.
Safety valves are designed to relieve excess pressure from a system, preventing equipment damage and catastrophic failure. They are particularly important in hydrogen applications, where sudden pressure spikes can occur due to malfunctions or other causes. Safety valves for hydrogen applications must be made of materials that are resistant to hydrogen embrittlement, a process that can weaken metals and make them more susceptible to failure. Austenitic stainless steels and nickel-based alloys are commonly used for this purpose.

Seetru supplies safety relief valves suitable for a wide range of hydrogen applications, including hydrogen generation, fuel cells, compressors and pumps, fuelling systems, storage, pressure vessels, piping systems, and transportation.
These valves can withstand set pressures up to 1100 bar, making them ideal for use in even the most demanding hydrogen applications. Seetru’s valves are designed to open quickly and reliably when the system pressure exceeds the set pressure, allowing excess gas to escape safely. This helps to prevent damage to the system and protect personnel from injury.
Seetru’s safety relief valves are manufactured in accordance with the highest international standards and are available in a variety of materials and configurations to meet the specific needs of each application.
Supporting the full range of hydrogen applications:
- Generation
- Chemical and process industries
- Compression
- Storage and transmission (pressure vessels, receivers, and piping)
- Fuelling systems

Change-Over Valves
Change-Over Valves
This valve is used if a plant shutdown is impossible or undesirable for process engineering or commercial reasons. With change-over valves, it is possible to switch over between parallel safety valves without interrupting operation, so that maintenance work can be carried out on each safety valve in turn.
Flanged inlet connections are also available on request.
Typically used in the refrigeration industry, however, they are used elsewhere and are suitable for wide industrial applications.
