Successful commercialization of compressed hydrogen as a vehicle fuel relies heavily on the establishment and dissemination of applicable safety standards related to not only fueling stations, but also vehicle fuel system components. ANSI/CSA HPRD 1-2013 -- Thermally Activated Pressure Relief Devices for Compressed Hydrogen Vehicle Fuel Containers establishes minimum requirements for pressure relief devices intended for use on fuel containers that comply with CSA B51, Part 2 -- Boiler, Pressure Vessel and Pressure Piping Code or SAE J2579 -- Standard for Fuel Systems in Fuel Cell and Other Hydrogen Vehicles. Highlights of ANSI /CSA HPRD 1-2013 Include: This standard:
Provides guidelines for safe operation, substantial and durable construction and performance testing of thermally activated pressure relief devices for compressed hydrogen vehicle fuel containers, for the on-board storage of compressed hydrogen for vehicle operation within given limitations.
Is based on proven engineering principles, research and the combined expertise of gas utilities, manufacturers, users, and others having specialized experience.
