EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of EN 3976 standard. This standard specifies requirements for chemical analysis using the inert gas fusion thermal conductivity method for the determination of the hydrogen content of titanium and titanium alloys for aerospace applications.
The method is applicable for hydrogen contents ranging from a few micrograms per gram to several hundred micrograms per gram. shall apply when referenced in the EN technical specification or material standard, unless otherwise specified in the drawing, order or inspection schedule.
The absolute method not used in routine inspection is solid-state hot extraction under vacuum followed by measurement of volume and pressure.
The test consists of thermal decomposition of hydrogenated compounds (mostly in metal bikes) found in titanium or titanium alloys.
The degassed hydrogen is sent in a supporting inert gas stream to the sensing system (thermal conductivity cell), which provides a quantitative measurement of the hydrogen content.
Various apparatuses usually include a calibration device by injecting one or more known volumes of pure hydrogen (adjusted for changes in temperature and pressure). These known volumes are delivered from a compressed hydrogen cylinder by a pneumatic system (calibrated "cavities" and gas gate valves).
