Analysis of Retained Hydrogen/Helium in Metals

The degree of retention of hydrogen and helium in metals is of significant importance in diverse applications including hydrogen embrittlement quantification, tritium retention measurement in fusion reactor wall tiles, solar panel quality control. The Hiden TPD Workstation was developed specifically for such applications by providing temperature programmed desorption measurement(thermal desorption analysis) at ultra-high vacuum(UHV) with integrated analysis and quantification of desorbed gases by quadrupole mass spectrometry.
