| Why it matters | Chapter 7 addresses hydrogen systems with the level of control expected for a high-risk gas: piping, handling, testing, siting, and operation all tighten up. |
| In the field | This chapter shows up in specialized industrial, fueling, and energy applications where hydrogen's properties drive the design and safety strategy. |
Core Fundamentals
- Hydrogen systems require system thinking: gas properties, leak behavior, ventilation, ignition control, and location all interact.
- Testing, siting, and maintenance are not afterthoughts here.
- This chapter usually crosses into fire-code and operational-safety conversations very quickly.
