I am not sure which picture you are referring to so I will attempt to answer.
If you are referring to the incident where a fire occurred and the vent system was damaged, then this may have been due to lack of proper supports and incomplete assembly of the test systems. In the past, vent systems were not pressure tested for strength but that is changing.
If you are talking…
At NASA Cape Canaveral, they used a natural gas line connected to the vent stack outlet with a thermal sensor to make sure the pilot was lit. They may also have had a sensor to ensure the H2 fire was lit. In cases where substantial quantities of unused hydrogen is vented and the timing and amount of the flow rate is known and controlled, flaring might be useful. NASA guidelines stipulate that…
There is no specific requirement not to vent liquid hydrogen from a vent system. Best practice would be to only vent gas from the top of the vessel to relieve pressure. If liquid must be vented, it should be vaporized first.
Note: It is very unusual to have LH2 flow from a liquid tank out the vent system, as the vent system is connected to the vapor space on the LH2 tanks and there…
No, but it depends on the application. Nearly all vents less than 4” in size are not purged with N2. This is primarily due to: 1) large flows required to dilute hydrogen below the flammable range, 2) the cost of the nitrogen, 3) the potential blockage of the stack when being inserted a vent header/stack serving a liquid hydrogen system, 4) the potential for backpressure (depending on the…
The code used for repair and alterations of an existing system depends on the code used for construction as well as on the requirements imposed by the jurisdiction. Note that getting a permit from the jurisdiction may be necessary for an extensive alteration.

The requirements of the code used for the original construction apply. The piping may meet the requirements of more than one code. In which case, the code used for changing the rating may be different than the original code of construction. In any case, the re-rated system should meet all of the requirements of the selected code. Note that if the original proof test of the system was… Category: Piping Keywords: Codes, Piping, Requirements
At least three of the ASME B31 piping codes are logical choices:
Considerations for code selection include:

The HSP is not familiar with this particular fitting or its potential application in H2 service but can offer engineering judgment. Many similar compression-type swaged fittings are used in H2 service. These fittings must be used within the manufacturer recommendations for pressure, temperature, and fluid service. Deformation is also introduced into stainless steel tubing in other ways, such… Category: Piping Keywords: Piping, Fitting, Lokring Technology, Material Selection
The primary safety standards for applicable to this piping in the U.S. are ASME B31.3, B31.12, and NFPA 2. The editions used should be those adopted by the local jurisdiction. Design of an LH2 piping system should always be conducted and reviewed by engineers experienced in cryogenic piping design. The equipment should also be installed per NFPA 2 and NFPA 55. IT is recommended that the piping… Category: Piping Keywords: Piping, Liquid, Safety, Vacuum, Insulated, Standards
