As the global energy sector continues to evolve, hydrogen is emerging as a vital element in achieving a cleaner and more sustainable future. However, working with hydrogen brings unique engineering challenges — particularly when it comes to ensuring safe, reliable, and accurate pressure measurement. At ESI Technology, we’ve met this challenge head-on with The HI2000H Hydrogen Compatible High Precision Pressure Transducer: a purpose-built solution designed for performance, precision, and durability in demanding hydrogen environments.

Built for the Future of Hydrogen Pressure Measurement

The HI2000H Hydrogen Compatible High Precision Pressure Transducer is engineered to meet the rigorous requirements of hydrogen applications. Unlike traditional pressure sensors, which can suffer from hydrogen permeation or material degradation, this transducer incorporates advanced materials and construction techniques to ensure long-term stability and accuracy.

Developed and manufactured by ESI Technology, the HI2000H is based on decades of experience in high-integrity pressure measurement solutions. It provides users with confidence that their pressure readings remain accurate, consistent, and safe, even under the extreme conditions associated with hydrogen systems.

Hydrogen Compatibility: Designed from the Inside Out

Hydrogen is a particularly challenging gas due to its small molecular size, which can penetrate certain metals and materials, causing embrittlement or sensor drift. To counteract this, The HI2000H Hydrogen Compatible High Precision Pressure Transducer features specialised materials and protective barriers that prevent hydrogen permeation and maintain structural integrity.

The sensing element and wetted parts are carefully selected and treated to withstand exposure to hydrogen, ensuring both the longevity of the transducer and the accuracy of the readings. This meticulous design allows the HI2000H to operate reliably in applications such as hydrogen refuelling, fuel cell testing, electrolysis systems, and research environments where hydrogen plays a critical role.

Precision You Can Rely On

As its name suggests, The HI2000H Hydrogen Compatible High Precision Pressure Transducer delivers exceptional measurement accuracy. With a precision range that meets the stringent requirements of hydrogen applications, it ensures that system operators and engineers have the data they need to maintain optimal performance and safety.

The transducer offers high stability over time, minimal thermal errors, and excellent repeatability. This makes it suitable not only for demanding industrial use but also for laboratory environments where precision is paramount. Whether measuring hydrogen pressure in storage systems, pipelines, or fuel cells, the HI2000H delivers consistent, reliable results.
