	Temperature? Pressure in the line? Flowrate? Line size? Materials of construction of the line? Secondary containment? Lagging material? Sources of ignition nearby? Indoors or outdoors? What does the operating organisation's Piping Standard say on the subject? __________________ "Did you get my e-mail?" - "The biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place" - George Bernard Shaw, 1856

	Instrumentation was the only thing I ever saw threaded in a hydrogen plant or pipeline. __________________ Money doesn't talk, it screams in your face.

	NO! I don't care how carefully/tightly you assembly this. Pipe threads will leak hydrogen. __________________ Closed biased minds are utterly impervious to any factual evidence which contradicts their beliefs
