Safetygram 4Gaseous hydrogenHydrogen is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, highly flammable gas. It is also the lightest-weight gas. Since hydrogen isnoncorrosive, special materials of construction are not normally required. Vessels and piping must be selected anddesigned to withstand the pressure and...
