May 2023- LIBERTY Pipes Hartlepool has been approved to be the UK's first manufacturer to transport and store hydrogen. Element Materials Technology has disclosed that LIBERTY's 42" submerged arc welded (SAW) line pipe fulfills international needs set by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). Fracture mechanics examines the inserted weld, heat-impacted area, and pipe material to double the needed stress intensity. Martin Connelly, LIBERTY Pipes Hartlepool's technical director, said that the testing was conducted on typical sour service carbon steel line pipe in gaseous hydrogen at 100Barg, which is around the expected upper operating pressure limit for onshore hydrogen transmission pipelines. The testing was limited to ASTM E1681 linear elastic fracture mechanics, as defined within the ASME B31.12 design code. Liberty Pipes Hartlepool has carried out no permeation work, but they are aware of work going on within the industry studying this aspect of hydrogen operation. Demand for SAW line pipes will increase across the nation over the next 20 years to fulfill the escalating demands of the transformation to Net Zero. The UK Hydrogen policy disclosed in 2021 focuses on 10GW of low carbon hydrogen generation capacity by the end of 2030, concentrated on bringing down emissions in UK industrial sectors, and offering flexible energy for power, transport, and heat.
