The measuring method will be validated in comparison with experiments and numerical simulations. The aim here is to reproduce quantifiable measurement and local location of leaks in different set-ups. In the laboratory, the measurement procedure is tested on a standard and practical applications. After successful qualification in the laboratory, the measurement procedure will be further tested in relevant test environments in real application scenarios. The objective is to develop a test procedure that corresponds to a TRL of 5 to 6 and to introduce the procedure into standardisation.<\/p>\n<p>The project was started in December 2020 and has a duration of 2 years. The project manager is Joachim Jungsbluth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">contact:\u00a0Department hydrogen infrastructure<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>NIP-II: Investigation into the safety testing procedure and evaluation of the key technology for the detection of leaks in hydrogen plants (H2-LeakDect)<\/li>\n<li>Funding reference 03B10204<\/li>\n<li>Funding period 2020-12-01 &#8211; 2022-11-30<\/li>\n<li>Funding Organisation Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure<\/li>\n<li>Project Management OrganisationForschungszentrum J\u00fclich GmbH (PT-J.EVI1)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"latest-project latest-project--white\">\n            <h2 class=\"latest-project__heading\">More Projects<\/h2>\n    \n            <div class=\"latest-project__grid\">\n                                                                                                <div class=\"latest-project__item\">\n                            <a href=\"https:\/\/zbt.de\/en\/projects\/elyseal-service-life-safety-seals-pem-electrolysers\/\" class=\"project-card\" title=\"ELYSeal \u2013 Service life and safety of seals in PEM electrolysers\">\n    <div class=\"project-card__header\">\n        <figure class=\"project-card__figure\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"663\" src=\"https:\/\/zbt.de\/app\/uploads\/2026\/10\/DSC_7164-1024x663.jpg\" class=\"project-card__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zbt.de\/app\/uploads\/2026\/10\/DSC_7164-1024x663.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/zbt.de\/app\/uploads\/2026\/10\/DSC_7164-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/zbt.de\/app\/uploads\/2026\/10\/DSC_7164-768x497.jpg 768w, https:\/\/zbt.de\/app\/uploads\/2026\/10\/DSC_7164-1536x995.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/zbt.de\/app\/uploads\/2026\/10\/DSC_7164-2048x1326.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/zbt.de\/app\/uploads\/2026\/10\/DSC_7164-1320x855.jpg 1320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n        <\/figure>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"project-card__body\">\n        <time class=\"project-card__published\" datetime=\"2026-10-20T09:29:20+00:00\">\n            20.
