1 . Hydrogen fueling stations : Ensuring safe and efficient refueling Hydrogen fueling stations are critical infrastructure components that enable the widespread adoption of fuel cell vehicles . These stations rely on high-performance valves to ensure safe and efficient hydrogen dispensing . One notable example is the use of metal bellows valves in the high-pressure hydrogen storage and dispensing systems . At a hydrogen fueling station in California , metal bellows valves were installed in the high-pressure storage tanks and dispensing lines . These valves , designed specifically for hydrogen service , provided leak-tight sealing and superior resistance to hydrogen embrittlement . The metal bellows design eliminated the need for traditional packing materials , reducing maintenance requirements and ensuring long-term performance . The use of metal bellows valves in this fueling station demonstrated their effectiveness in ensuring safe and reliable hydrogen dispensing . The valves performed flawlessly , with no reported leaks or failures , contributing to the station ’ s overall operational efficiency and customer satisfaction .

2 . Hydrogen pipelines : Enabling longdistance transportation Hydrogen pipelines are essential for transporting large volumes of hydrogen over long distances . These pipelines require valves that
can handle high pressures and ensure leak-tight operation . A recent project in Europe showcased the application of specialty coated valves in a newly constructed hydrogen pipeline .
