Hydrogen embrittlement is not a new problem, but the ins and outs of #HydrogenEmbrittlement can still be difficult to grasp for those new to dealing with #hydrogen. That's why we put together a four-part #AskSwagelok video series detailing what it is, how components can be affected, and what can be done to counter embrittlement issues. In the first video, Senior Scientist Buddy Damm (https://bit.ly/4aa7Zld) gives an overview of hydrogen embrittlement, how it starts, and how it lowers resistance to #MetalFatigue and fracture.

The VSG Northern Sites recently held a four-week friendly competition aimed at emphasizing safety in four main areas: 🏭Housekeeping 🤝Hand Safety 🧪Chemical Safety 🤔Stop Think Decide Our Atlantic, Micro, and Eastlake sites competed in what was dubbed the "FSO Derby." Each site submitted focused safety observations (FSO) to move their "horse" forward toward the finish line. Eastlake won the competition, narrowly edging out their peers and rivals in a friendly, yet intense month-long race. When safety is first, everyone wins!

#Hydrogen causes changes in the mechanical properties and behavior of metal, from the reduction of ductility to increased fatigue behavior to hydrogen-induced cracking. Selecting components made from the right materials – such as austenitic alloys with nickel content between 10% and 30% – can help avoid #embrittlement issues. But what’s the right balance between what you need and what’s available? And how do you decide? We can help you navigate material selection so that you get exactly what you need for your application.

Grab sampling, also called spot sampling, field sampling, or just sampling helps validate process conditions and verify that your product meets internal or customer-based specifications. Gas grab sampling presents a unique set of challenges that operators must overcome to obtain an accurate portrait of true process conditions. In this article, we provide insight into how to overcome these challenges.
