Both the production and storage of hydrogen offer long-term cost reduction potential in the periphery of the system<br>through the use of plastic pipes. A prerequisite for the use of plastic pipes is modification by applying a plasma coating on the inside to ensure the diffusion barrier. In addition, the plastic pipes are wrapped with glass fiber-reinforced tape on the outside to ensure the required compressive strength. Due to different dimensions, connection areas or bends, such pipes cannot be manufactured in one piece, but must be joined piece by piece. Hot plate welding, which has been established in pipeline construction for decades, is suitable for this purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<figure class=\" relative flex flex-col gap-2xs mb-xs md:mb-l xl:mb-xl\"><img decoding=\"async\"  class=\" w-full  \"  src=\"https:\/\/ikv-aachen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Stuwi-Wasserstofftransport-Herausforderung-Schweissen-Kunststoffrohre.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ikv-aachen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Stuwi-Wasserstofftransport-Herausforderung-Schweissen-Kunststoffrohre-748x499.jpg 748w, https:\/\/ikv-aachen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Stuwi-Wasserstofftransport-Herausforderung-Schweissen-Kunststoffrohre-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ikv-aachen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Stuwi-Wasserstofftransport-Herausforderung-Schweissen-Kunststoffrohre-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"Stuwi-Wasserstofftransport-Herausforderung-Schwei\u00dfen-Kunststoffrohre\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><figcaption class=\" w-full  text-figcaption justify-end text-right \">Schematische Darstellung der Wasserstofftransport-Infrastruktur (links) des Aufbaus eines plasmabeschichteten Rohres f\u00fcr den Wasserstoffeinsatz (rechts)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The work is related to this research project:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As part of a public research project, the Joining Technology working group is carrying out investigations into hot plate welding.
