Welspun Corp and Tata Steel have achieved a significant milestone by developing Hydrogen-compliant API X65 grade pipes. These pipes have successfully passed all critical sour service and fracture qualification tests for transporting 100% pure gaseous Hydrogen under high pressure (100 bar) at RINA, Italy.
With this achievement, Welspun Corp becomes the first Indian pipe mill to produce Electric Resistance Welded (ERW) pipes for Hydrogen transportation. Tata Steel is the first Indian steel mill to produce hot-rolled steel for this purpose
This development is part of the Green Energy Strategic Partnership between Welspun Corp and Tata Steel, established to assess the suitability of various pipes for Hydrogen transportation. This partnership aligns with the Government of India's green hydrogen policy.
