Introduction
A safety valve is a fail-safe device designed to automatically release hydrogen gas from a pressurized system if it exceeds a set pressure.

🧠 What It Means
Protects tanks, pipelines, and fuel cells from overpressure.
Activates when internal pressure reaches critical limits.
Essential for both mobile (vehicles) and stationary systems.
❗ Key Challenges
Must withstand hydrogen’s small molecular size (prone to leakage).
Needs to respond quickly but without nuisance trips.
Materials must resist embrittlement over time.
🦁 Muzaffar’s Comment
“In hydrogen, pressure builds fast — the safety valve must be faster.”
🦉 Sameer’s Comment
“It’s the last line of defense — and the quiet hero in hydrogen safety.”
