GB/T 20801.5-2025 Pressure piping code—Part 5:Hydrogen piping and pipelines
Basic Information
Scope
1.1 This document specifies the basic requirements, materials, design and calculation, fabrication and installation, inspection and testing, and safety protection for hydrogen pipelines. It also stipulates the technical requirements for the commissioning, operation and maintenance of long-distance hydrogen pipelines, as well as the technical requirements for the safe operation and maintenance of public hydrogen pipelines.
Note 1: Hydrogen pipelines refer to all types of pipelines used for transporting hydrogen, including industrial hydrogen pipelines, long-distance hydrogen pipelines, and public hydrogen pipelines, as well as liquid hydrogen pipelines.
Note 2: The parts extending into the factory boundaries of hydrogen production plants, hydrogen stations, hydrogen supply stations, urban gas stations, gas storage facilities, and gas-fired power plants, as well as the hydrogen pipelines connecting between factories, shall comply with the requirements for long-distance hydrogen pipelines or industrial hydrogen pipelines.
1.2 This document applies to hydrogen pipelines with a maximum working pressure of 0.1 MPa (gauge pressure) or more and a nominal diameter of DN50 or more. Other hydrogen pipelines shall refer to this document for implementation.
1.3 The applicable conditions for industrial hydrogen pipelines, long-distance hydrogen pipelines, and public hydrogen pipelines are as follows.
a) Industrial hydrogen pipelines: Transport industrial hydrogen and have a design pressure of 41 MPa or less.
b) Long-distance hydrogen pipelines: Transport hydrogen on land with a volume content of 3% or more, and have a design pressure of 12 MPa or less and a design temperature of 150 ℃ or less.
