Hydrogen fueled vehicles have become a common sight in areas where investment has been made in the
“hydrogen highway” to establish filling stations and fuel supply to support such vehicles on the road.
America, Canada, Japan, China and many European countries have already invested large sums of money
to establish a basic network of hydrogen stations supporting fuel cell cars.

With many fuel cell vehicles from several manufacturers
already on the road and with many more to come, the
hydrogen highway will continue to be expanded to
provide the capacity needed to keep them running.
Rheonik is a pioneer in the hydrogen fuel cell
revolution. From the very outset, Rheonik has worked
with all of the major hydrogen suppliers to produce
flow meters that are both accurate and can handle the
extremely high pressures associated with hydrogen
distribution and dispensing.

This is underlined by Rheonik being the first Coriolis
manufacturer to obtain a custody transfer approval
for a broad range of mass flowmeters for mobile
and stationary hydrogen applications up to 1070 bar
according to MID MI002 / OIML R137.
The implementation of clean fuel technology such
as that found in hydrogen fuel cell vehicles is an
increasing priority for many countries as concerns
about global warming and its effect on the planet
continue. Rheonik are proud of their contribution
to the industry and will continue a program of
improvement to provide even better solutions and
performance to support these important global
warming reduction initiatives.

Hydrogen is transferred to storage and into fuel cell
vehicles at very high pressures, high velocities and at
varying temperatures. The provision of a flow meter to
measure under these conditions is not a trivial matter
as it must be accurate, reliable and suitable for end user
point-of-sale billing. Rheonik mass flow meters have
proven to be, and continue to be, the most reliable
meters for H2 measurement available.
