What are “Specialty Gases”?
In the broadest sense of the word, “Specialty Gases” can be defined as anything outside of the category of “Industrial Gases”. While that generalization is somewhat vague, it’s also quite accurate. Industrial gases are typically lower purity materials used for less demanding applications - such as welding, construction, inert atmosphere requirements, steel furnace combustion, etc. Many of these products are produced onsite by air separation equipment sized to specific requirements of a bulk application. Others are delivered in micro-bulk, bulk, or cylinder quantities.
Specialty gases are characterized by higher purity specifications (generally >99.999%), mixtures of gases manufactured to very close tolerances, and specially packaged gases in an array of cylinder and gas connection combinations. These products are used in demanding applications such as microelectronics, air quality monitoring (both calibration of specific gas detection monitors and environmental air quality monitoring), R&D, medical use, and a host of others.
cylinder Reference standards
Custom Gas Solutions specializes in high reactivity and many component low concentration standards for all uses. Examples include EPA method TO-14 and TO-15, Internal Tuning Standards, Sulfur Mixtures, Ozone Precursor Mixtures, and many others.
We are pleased to offer any mixture as a custom standard where the customer specifies components, concentrations, and balance gases.
precision cylinder reference standards in all cylinder sizes
Custom Gas Solutions offers reference standards in cylinders ranging from 34 liters of gas to >6000 liters (at room temperature and pressure).
