3. Safety
Specific notes based on the medium hydrogen (model MH-3-HY)
The sensor offered uses the wetted materials 2.4711 and 1.4404. These materials are
resistant to hydrogen embrittlement.
With a temperature of up to 30 °C, the stability under hydrogen influence is typically
EN
1 %/year, maximum 3 %/year.
Due to hydrogen diffusion into the sensor structures, a signal drift can occur dependent
upon the time. The time until the occurrence of a relevant signal drift and the size of the
signal drift depends mainly on factors such as the temperature of the hydrogen, hydro-
gen content in the medium, and the diaphragm thickness of the pressure sensor used.
It is explicitly recommended for the user to test the selected product version for suitabili-
ty in the intended application(s) with the specified ambient conditions.
