Pietro Fiorentini S.p.A., a leading Italian manufacturer of gas pressure regulation and control equipment, has adapted its family of pressure regulators and stabilisers for the safe delivery of low-pressure hydrogen in various applications, including residential and commercial use, alongside high- and medium-pressure regulators crucial for safe and efficient hydrogen flow management along pipelines. The company's Mod. FE H is a direct-operated gas pressure regulator specifically designed and manufactured for 100% hydrogen applications, classified as Fail Close and used for low-pressure gas distribution networks as well as residential and commercial hydrogen delivery, while its high- and medium-pressure hydrogen regulators are designed to ensure precise pressure regulation, preventing dangerous situations and guaranteeing constant flow under all load conditions along the hydrogen pipeline. Pietro Fiorentini's broader gas regulator portfolio -- including the FE, FE25/FE50, and FE-100 two-stage spring-loaded lever-operated gas pressure regulators, and the Aperflux 851 pilot-operated regulator for high-pressure transmission and medium-pressure distribution networks -- has been designated 'Hydrogen Ready' for NG-H2 (natural gas-hydrogen) blending applications, suitable for use with previously filtered non-corrosive gases including biomethane and natural gas blended with hydrogen, classified as Fail Close per European Standard EN 334 due to integrated overpressure protection (slam shut valve). The company's HBC slam shut valves (4-12 inch sizes, ANSI 300#-600# rating) provide MAOP protection for shale gas and pipeline applications alongside power plant feeds and city gate stations, with Pietro Fiorentini continuing to develop and adapt its extensive gas pressure regulation technology portfolio to support the safe integration of hydrogen into existing natural gas distribution and transmission infrastructure worldwide.
