  • Abstract
    Electronic hydrogen leak and fire detector systems are installed on the Saturn S-IVB static test firing stands to detect hydrogen leaks and hydrogen fires. Only this portion of the hydrogen safety program is covered in this paper. The characteristics of hydrogen and hydrogen flames are reviewed. The results of the investigations into various types of leak and fire detectors is recorded. Installation and operational problems and the solutions to these problems are discussed.
