“…The American Society for Mechanical Engineers (ASME) has developed codes [3,4] for designing pressure vessels for storing hydrogen but these codes are conservative because of gaps in our ability to confidently model the degradation kinetics of hydrogen embrittlement in these steels. There has been progress in our understanding of mechanisms of hydrogen embrittlement in the crack tip process zone [5] but not sufficient to allow development of robust models for predicting crack growth rates and how they are affected by variables such as loading frequency, load ratios, hydrogen pressure, gaseous impurities, temperature, and material variability.…”

Abstract. The design of safe and low-cost, high-pressure hydrogen storage systems are a critical need for harnessing clean power but must consider the propensity of hydrogen to accelerate fatigue crack growth rates in the construction materials. Design of safe pressure vessels needs robust models for predicting crack growth rates and how they are affected by variables such as loading frequency, load ratios, hydrogen pressure, gaseous impurities, temperature, and material variability. In this study, fatigue crack growth rates were measured in the liner material in 10 MPa gaseous hydrogen at various load ratios, R, in the range -1 ≤ R ≤ 0.2. The effects of varying loading frequency were investigated, and the results were pooled with those from literature for similar alloys tested in 103 MPa gaseous hydrogen pressure. The differences in crack growth rates between H2 pressures of 10 to 103 MPa as well as the effects of frequency on the environment assisted crack growth rates were assessed. Loading frequency effects tend to saturate at frequencies of 1 Hz and less. H2 pressure effects appear to saturate at pressures of 45MPa, while load ratio effects are not significant for −1 ≤ ≤ 0.2 but become important for R ≥0.2.

“…[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] With respect to accommodating the effect of gaseous hydrogen on fatigue and fracture properties of high-pressure hydrogen vessels, American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) has published the article KD-10 (we call KD-10 here) in the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII, Division 3 [13][14][15] to estimate the design fatigue life for high-pressure hydrogen vessels using fracture mechanics approach. Calculation method of design fatigue life is generally discussed in KD-10, 13 which is also described in the High Pressure Gas Safety Institute of Japan (KHK)S 0220 16 as crack growth analysis (CGA). The vessel fatigue life of AISI4340 (we call 4340) and 4137 steels was examined in high-pressure hydrogen 5,9,17 and that of 4130X steels for DOT gas cylinder in gaseous hydrogen was evaluated.…”

Design fatigue life of high-pressure hydrogen storage vessels constructed of low alloy steels, austenitic stainless steels, and iron-based superalloy was analyzed based on facture mechanics in 45 MPa, 85 MPa, and 105 MPa hydrogen and air. Cylindrical model was used and the wall thickness of the model was calculated following five regulations including the High Pressure Gas Safety Institute of Japan (KHK) designated equipment inspection regulation, KHKS 0220, Chinese special equipment regulation (TSG) R0002, Chinese machinery industrial standard (JB) 4732, and ASME Sec. VIII, Div. 3. Design fatigue life for four typical model materials was also analyzed to discuss the effect of ultimate tensile strength, pressure, regulations and hydrogen sensitivity on the design fatigue life in hydrogen. It was discussed that hydrogen influence decreases with decreasing pressure or ultimate tensile strength. The design fatigue life data of the model materials under the conditions of pressure, ultimate tensile strength, K IH , fatigue crack growth rates, and regulations in both hydrogen and air were proposed quantitatively for materials selection for high-pressure hydrogen storage vessels.

The Boiler and Pressure Vessel Project Team on Hydrogen Tanks was formed in 2004 to develop Code rules to address the various needs that had been identified for the design and construction of up to 15000 psi hydrogen storage vessel. One of these needs was the development of Code rules for high pressure composite vessels with non-load sharing liners for stationary applications. In 2009, ASME approved new Appendix 8, for Section X Code which contains the rules for these vessels. These vessels are designated as Class III vessels with design pressure ranging from 20.7 MPa (3,000 ps)i to 103.4 MPa (15,000 psi) and maximum allowable outside liner diameter of 2.54 m (100 inches). The maximum design life of these vessels is limited to 20 years. Design, fabrication, and examination requirements have been specified, included Acoustic Emission testing at time of manufacture. The Code rules include the design qualification testing of prototype vessels.
