RINA has developed a method statement which applies to valves intended for construction of gas transmission and distribution pipelines as well as hydrogen piping systems.
Our method statement for Hydrogen-Ready metallic valves includes:
- Applications and limitations
- Material requirements
- Design criteria for unlisted valves
- Functional requirements
- Inspection and test plan
- Technical guidelines for material selection
- Once the requirements have been satisfied and properly verified, RINA will issue an official statement stating that the valve in question is H2-ready.
Following the creation of a H2-ready carbon steel line pipes method statement, this is a further step in supporting manufacturers in delivering products for hydrogen transportation and distribution. A key part of our continued efforts to assist the entire industry along the value chain in staying ahead of the energy transition and keeping pace with decarbonization demands.
