Versaperm, a specialist in vapour permeability measurement, has introduced a dedicated system for the testing and analysis of hydrogen permeability across materials and products. As the demand for hydrogen grows in sectors ranging from energy storage to fuel cells and transportation, the need to measure and control hydrogen permeation has never been more critical.

Hydrogen, as the smallest and lightest molecule, presents unique challenges in containment and control. It can diffuse through many materials, often invisibly and without obvious leakage, leading to inefficiencies, safety concerns and performance degradation. Versaperm’s advanced testing solutions now provide manufacturers, researchers and engineers with a fast, reliable method of assessing hydrogen vapour permeability with a high degree of sensitivity and accuracy.

The company’s latest generation of instruments allows for precise testing of materials including metals, composites, polymers and coatings, whether in sheet form, as finished components or in complex assemblies. The system supports multiple sample testing, with results available in hours rather than days. With detection limits capable of reaching extremely low permeability levels, Versaperm’s technology is suited to both R&D and quality assurance across the hydrogen value chain.

Versaperm’s equipment helps identify potential weaknesses in containment systems and provides data critical to design optimisation and regulatory compliance.

Applications for this technology span hydrogen fuel tanks, storage vessels, piping systems, seals, membranes and packaging. Accurate vapour permeability data enables manufacturers to select or engineer materials that minimise leakage, extend operational life and support safe handling.

Versaperm continues to support innovation in sustainable energy by providing the tools needed to characterise material behaviour at a molecular level. With hydrogen increasingly seen as a cornerstone of the low-carbon future, ensuring material compatibility and containment is key—and Versaperm is at the forefront of making that possible.

As well as manufacturing and supplying high-precision permeability measurement equipment, Versaperm also offers laboratory testing and consultancy services.
