Hydrogen — Why the Smallest Molecule Rewrites Material Selection and Leak-Tightness

Read this first. This note explains the physics and the published landscape of hydrogen service. It paraphrases and cites; it reproduces no clause text, no tables and no allowable values from ASME B31.12 or any other standard. Material selection for a real line is done to the governing code edition and the project specification, not to a teaching note. Educational content only; not a design document.

A gas transmission line runs across a country. X70 pipe, welded, coated, cathodically protected, pigged, tested, thirty years old and in good condition. Someone proposes putting hydrogen in it.

The economic argument is obvious:…
