Description

This Invitation to Tender (ITT) invites potential suppliers to deliver an evidence project on the suitability of solder and brazing alloys for use in low pressure hydrogen gas installations. The evidence generated will support a series of hydrogen standards and training specifications being developed under DESNZ' Hydrogen Skills and Standards for Heat (HSS4H) programme.

The work will define a methodology for assessing material suitability including appropriate test methods, specimen types, environmental conditions, analysis techniques and material assessment criteria. This will provide clear unambiguous evidence in accordance with the defined methodology to categorise relevant grades of solder and brazing alloys as either suitable or not suitable for use with low pressure hydrogen. Ultimately the evidence will support writing sections relating to suitability of materials within hydrogen standards being developed under the HSS4H programme and make information available in a way that will support future standards.

Full ITT documents can be found in prj_1824 at https://beisgroup.ukp.app.jaggaer.com
