To realize the hydrogen economy, hydrogen infrastructure is being expanded, necessitating precise sensing technology for the safe management of hydrogen, which has a wide explosive range. This study proposes two types of hydrogen gas sensors based on volumetric and pressure analysis. The sensors are designed to accurately measure the hydrogen uptake and diffusivity of polymers charged under high-pressure conditions. Performance evaluation showed a stability of 0.2% and a resolution of 0.12 wt·ppm, with a response time of less than one second, allowing precise detection of hydrogen concentrations ranging from 0.1 wt·ppm to 1400 wt·ppm. The sensors also feature adjustable sensitivity, resolution, and measurement range. Measurement results from both sensors were consistent within the uncertainty range. The proposed system enables real-time monitoring and characterization of hydrogen gas, contributing to safe infrastructure operation and the advancement of the hydrogen economy.
