It prescribes requirements for materials and components, design, fabrication, assembly, erection, examination, inspection, and testing of piping.
Hydrogen Piping Systems at Consumer Sites (CGA Publication G5.4) G5.4 covers materials and components selection to help guide installation of safe and effective hydrogen supply systems at consumer's sites.
Hydrogen Vent Systems (CGA Publication G5.5) G5.5 provides design guidelines for hydrogen vent systems for gaseous and liquid hydrogen installations at consumer sites, and provides recommendations for their safe operation.
Hydrogen Pipeline Systems (CGA Publication G5.6) This is a joint European Industrial Gases Association (EIGA)/CGA international harmonized standard on metallic transmission and distribution piping systems carrying pure hydrogen and hydrogen mixtures. It is limited to gaseous products with a temperature range between –40 °C and 175 °C (–40 °F and 347 °F); total pressures from 1 MPa to 21 MPa (150 psig to 3000 psig); and defined concentration criteria.
