Practical Usage
Outlining sectors that require special gases or gas mixtures
There are virtually no areas of research, medicine or industry which do not have a requirement for special gases or
gas mixtures of some kind.
The sectors outlined on this page show typical examples of calibration gas applications.
Leak Detection
Helium in air or nitrogen used with thermal conductivity or mass spectrometer detectors.
Nuclear Counter
Saturated hydrocarbons in argon or helium.
Gas Chromatography
Various calibration gases for different detectors.
Blood Gas Analysis
Two and three component mixtures of carbon dioxide oxygen and nitrogen.
Lung Diffusion Tests
Carbon monoxide and helium in air.
Gas Chromatography
Biological Atmospheres Various mixtures made up from hydrogen, carbon monoxide, nitrogen and oxygen.
Automotive Exhaust
Emissions Mixtures of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitric oxide and saturated hydrocarbons in nitrogen.
Environmental Pollution
Toxic gases in air or nitrogen.
Lasers
Carbon dioxide, nitrogen, helium.
Food Industry
Various mixtures for controlled and modified atmospheres for packaging and storage of foodstuffs.
Petrochemicals
Mixtures of saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons in nitrogen.
