    This document discusses the challenge of safely supplying and removing hydrogen as a shielding gas in steel heat treatment plants. Hydrogen is difficult to seal due to its high diffusivity and forms explosive mixtures when combined with oxygen. The solution discussed is using AFM 34 flange gaskets, which provide outstanding mechanical strength and gas tightness over 1000 times better than required. AFM 34 gaskets have received numerous safety approvals for use with hydrogen and other applications. Technical data on the properties and approvals of AFM 34 gaskets is also provided.

    Keeping Hydrogen under Control AFM 34


    Flange Gaskets for Shielding Gas Installations in
    Steel Heat Treatment Plants

    THE CHALLENGE
    Safe supply and removal of hydrogen: Hydrogen
    is used as shielding gas in industrial furnaces
    when annealing steel, e.g. normalizing and
    recrystallizing, in order to obtain a uniform
    microstructure with optimum strength and
    working properties. Due to its unusually high
    diffusivity, hydrogen is difficult to seal. Moreover,
    it is highly flammable, and with atmospheric
    oxygen it forms explosive oxyhydrogen gas.
    Therefore, utmost safety is required.

    THE SOLUTION FROM VICTOR REINZ


    Uncompromising gas tightness plus safety
    AFM 34. Outstanding mechanical strength
    combined with excellent gas tightness. For
    example, AFM 34 provides more than 1000 times
    better sealing than required by the German
    TA-Luft (Technical Guidelines on Air Quality) for
    volatile organic compounds. Whats more, it has
    received numerous approvals. Thats a guarantee
    for safety with hydrogen and in many other
    applications.
