HYDROGEN PROBES Model 6400 Simple Reliable Method Meets NACE MR0175 and MR0103 Intrusive and Non-Intrusive Models No Chemicals or Shelf Life Problems Atomic hydrogen (H+), generated by the cathodic corrosion reaction can lead to two types of failures in steels; Hydrogen Blistering and Hydrogen Induced Cracking (HIC). Part of the hydrogen produced by the cathodic corrosion reaction may permeate the steel by diffusion, and the balance is dissolved in the process electrolyte or released as bubbles of gas. Poisoning agents in the process, such as hydrogen sulfide, cyanide, and arsenic, inhibit the formation of molecular hydrogen on the metal surface and therefore increase the proportion

HYDROGEN BLISTERING Atomic (or nascent) hydrogen (H+), is small enough to permeate steel. At any cracks or inclusions in the pipes or vessels, the permeating atomic hydrogen combines to form hydrogen gas (H2) which is then too large to diffuse any further through the steel. The accumulation of hydrogen gas in these interstitial spaces results in an ever growing gas pressure causing a deformation known as blistering. The effects of blistering can be sufficient to rupture steel several inches thick. This phenomena occurs irrespective ...
