Level and Pressure Measurement Technology from VEGA for safe hydrogen applications

Whether electrolyzer, pipeline or filling station – hydrogen processes place the highest demands. As one of the world’s leading providers of Level and Pressure Sensors, VEGA delivers customized solutions for this purpose. The Level Sensors impress with the highest measurement accuracy even under extreme conditions and provide a transparent overview of storage and process at all times. Pressure Sensors with metallic or ceramic measuring cells and diffusion-tight connections capture stable, precise values. Supplemented by stainless steel 316L and special coatings, hydrogen embrittlement is reliably prevented. This is how VEGA creates the basis for reliable hydrogen processes that combine highest safety with sustainable efficiency.

Digitalization for more efficiency

Even in the hydrogen sector, future-proof data exchange determines competitiveness. With standardized interfaces and the implementation of digital twins, VEGA solutions enable a precise analysis of process data. In addition, our Sensors meet international safety standards such as ATEX, IECEx and offer a layered security concept for improving cybersecurity with IEC 62443-4-2.
