Hydrogen (H2)
DESCRIPTION (Hydrogen):
Hydrogen is a colorless, odorless gas. It is shipped
in gaseous form with cylinder pressures of approximately 2000 psig @70° F. Typically used
in synthesis of Ammonia, petroleum refining operations, rocket fuels, the prevention of
oxidation of certain metals during heat treating and some cutting and welding of metals.
