Compact pressure transmitters are increasingly favoured in the hydrogen industry due to their ability to meet the sector’s stringent demands for safety, accuracy, and operational efficiency. Hydrogen, as a versatile and sustainable energy carrier, is associated with high pressures, extreme conditions, and stringent safety standards, making precise pressure measurement essential throughout its production, storage, and transportation.

One key advantage of compact pressure transmitters is their small size, which facilitates easy installation in confined spaces often encountered in hydrogen infrastructure, such as electrolysers, storage tanks, and fuel cell systems. Their lightweight and minimal footprint make them ideal for applications where space optimisation is crucial without compromising performance.

These devices also enhance system reliability. Many compact transmitters employ advanced materials and sensor technologies, ensuring they withstand hydrogen’s corrosive nature and minimize the risk of leakage or material degradation. In addition, their robust design typically supports a broad range of pressures and temperatures, accommodating the diverse operational environments within the hydrogen value chain.

Compact transmitters often incorporate cutting-edge sensing technologies to deliver superior measurement accuracy and long-term stability, critical for process efficiency and compliance with safety standards. These features contribute to reduced downtime, better process control, and enhanced system lifespan—benefits highly valued in the growing hydrogen economy.

ESI Technology Ltd offers the HI6200 pressure transmitter, a compact solution specifically designed for hydrogen applications. Utilising silicon-on-sapphire sensor technology, it provides exceptional pressure measurement accuracy, safety, and stability, even under challenging conditions. This innovation makes the HI6200 an excellent choice for modern hydrogen systems, combining robust performance with compact design to meet the industry’s rigorous demands.
