Metal carbides doubles the time for the conservation of their mixtures of gases
January 29, 2010
Many mixtures of gases containing a combination of more than 100 gaseous components, such as argon, helium, carbon dioxide, oxygen, rare gases, hydrocarbons and halocarbons, now carry a certificate of analysis of Air Products, which offers customers a guarantee of 10 years.
Gary Yates, product manager for the analytical market of Air Products Europe, says: "This is a great step forward for the sector of gas and the companies that use mixtures of gases of high specification for calibration and quality control applications"", because they now have the peace of mind to use blend for a decade with total confidence in its stability." Earlier, the stability of gas mixtures was guaranteed for up to 5 years depending on the type of components and their concentration.
