Frequently asked questions
At Ibex, safety is one of our top priorities. Systems like Tubepress utilise a press-fit system, eliminating the need for any open flames, arc welding, or open heat application during installation. The press-fit system method ensures secure, tight and reliable joints, eliminating the risk of leaks or other hazards.
Our tubing systems are primarily made from high-quality 316L stainless steel to ensure maximum durability and strength. The VIS-LOK seamless tube is over 12.5% nickel, which is one of the most important materials in stainless steel to prevent hydrogen embrittlement in hydrogen systems.
Choosing the best tubing solution for your project will depend on various factors, such as the environment the project is in, pressure requirements, etc. If you’re not sure what you need, you can contact us directly to talk to our team who can help you select the best solution for your project.
Ibex’s hydrogen systems can support pressure ratings up to 50* bar with the appropriate approval. Our standard offerings typically support up to 40* bar depending on your model, making them great for a wide range of high-pressure and hydrogen applications.
We sure do! At Ibex, we are here for you every step of the way, from your initial inquiry to installing your tubing system. We provide extensive manuals training and ongoing technical support to make sure that you get the most out of your Ibex system.
Yes, Ibex hydrogen tubing is designed to safely transport both gaseous and liquid hydrogen, ensuring compatibility with a variety of hydrogen infrastructure applications.
Our hydrogen tubing complies with international safety and performance standards such as ASME B31.12, ISO 14687, and OSHA 1910.103, ensuring it meets the rigorous requirements of hydrogen applications.
With proper installation and maintenance, hydrogen tubing can last 20+ years, even in demanding environments.
Hydrogen embrittlement is a concern in hydrogen applications, as hydrogen can cause materials to become brittle and crack. We mitigate this risk by selecting materials specifically designed to resist hydrogen embrittlement, ensuring the longevity and safety of the tubing in hydrogen service.
