NEW Ultra-high and high-pressure valves for hydrogen applications
Bürkert now have high pressure and ultra-high-pressure valves for hydrogen applications, such as electrolysers, transport and storage, plus many more.

Crucial Role in Hydrogen Infrastructure
High-pressure and ultra-high-pressure valves play a pivotal role in hydrogen-related industries, including the transportation, storage, and extraction of hydrogen. These specialized valves control and safely shut off the flow of compressed hydrogen at extreme pressures—up to 1,034 bar (15,000 psi)—making them essential to the hydrogen supply chain. Ensuring proper selection and implementation of these valves is vital to maintaining system reliability and safety.
Testing and Maintenance Requirements
These valves undergo stringent testing to meet high standards for tightness and material tolerance, critical for handling compressed hydrogen safely. Furthermore, a well-structured service and maintenance plan ensures long-term operational readiness, addressing wear and tear while maximizing system availability.
Valves: Key to a Safe Hydrogen Future
As hydrogen technology continues to evolve, the proper use of high-pressure and ultra-high-pressure valves remains fundamental in building a safe and sustainable hydrogen infrastructure. Reliable operation at extreme pressures will be crucial as the hydrogen economy grows and becomes more integrated into global energy systems.
Our valves are capable of:
- 80,000 switching cycles ensuring high system availability & reduced maintenance requirements
- Rapid detection of leaks through special control holes at sealing points
- Maximum safety thanks to Dynamic Sealing Package* for temperatures of between -40 to +80°C (for ex, up to +60°C)
