Specialty gases place particular demands on gas distribution components due to individual purity, toxicity and corrosive properties. The quality of your gas supply is no better than your gas distribution system. HiQ® specialty equipment offers a variety of central gas supply panels and point of use equipment to maintain system integrity and purity at all times.
Choice of materials:
The choice of materials for gas supply systems is determined by the gas to be distributed and the level of contamination that can be accepted in the gas. The inner surface finish of components is therefore of great importance to the final purity of the gas at the point of use. A better surface finish will also make the pipe system easier to clean and reduces the risk of particles being released into the gas stream.
In recent years stainless steel has become the number one choice of material for pure gas applications, because it is resistant to corrosion, as well as being consistent with the high standards of cleanliness & appearance in modern laboratories.
