Specialty gases are primarily for research laboratories, analysis and control. They provide power and calibrate laboratory equipment.
An analytical method is a comparative method. In general, the procedure by measuring a zero gas and the extent of one or more test gases whose composition is well characterized, then we deduce the analyzer response. Consequently, the final result of the analysis depends on the reliability of calibration gases used.
Have in his laboratory a standard gas cylinder stock for these calibrations is expensive and restrictive a security point of view.
GasMix ™ avoids these issues. Indeed, a single bottle / high average grade and a diluent gas are needed for several standard gases, which drastically reduces the stock of bottles.
Moreover, the validity of a standard gas is an important criterion. Most low levels bottles certificates offer 6 months to 1 year validity. Thus, to meet the standards, it will renew the standard, even if the bottle is not empty.
A standard high concentration will have a longer life (3 years as a rule). The user will then have the opportunity to consume more gas over a given bottle, and some very low levels can not be obtained by dilution concentrations from a mixture of higher grade, for reasons of stability.
In addition, GasMix ™ optimizes the consumption of gas by doing automatically cut the gas when needed.
GasMix ™: Reduction of a standard gas cylinder stock
One customer, a manufacturer of gas analyzers, had a large gas cylinders stock our stallions calibrate their devices: a compound could be found present in 6 bottles of different concentrations, for example:
The list of test compounds is among others: CO2, CH4, CO, NO, NO2, SO2, N2O.
In order to reduce the stock of bottles, the company has acquired one of our diluters. So, with GasMix ™, their stock of bottles increased from 42 to 12!
