The Different Types of Industrial Specialty Gases

The Different Types of Industrial Specialty Gases

While most gases that companies sell to their customers are fairly straightforward, there are some unique ones that don&#;t exactly qualify as one type or the other. We refer to these as specialty gases, and they fall into one of a few categories. That&#;s why we&#;ve taken the time to go over the different types of industrial specialty gases. We don&#;t want there to be any unnecessary confusion on the topic.

For more information, please visit specialty gas mixtures.

Gas Mixtures

The most common type of specialty gas is a simple one. When two gases get mixed together in one canister, the mixture is then labeled as a specialty gas. The types of gases that companies combine will vary depending on which industry they are used in, but as long as the mixture is correct, they will perform their function appropriately.

Of all the specialty gases available through our site, this is the category we are most well known for. We can calibrate the gas in our canisters to fit whatever needs you have for your business, and we will do so in a safe manner that won&#;t negatively affect your company&#;s output.

High Purity Gases

Next up are the gases that have high levels of purity within them. Most standard gases that companies sell will have small amounts of other gases locked inside their canisters. This is due to the fact that gas is a difficult substance to control. The smallest gap or leak can lead to outside particles getting in.

Despite that, there are ways to ensure higher levels of purity, even getting up to 99.9 percent pure. Even though having a canister that&#;s only filled with the necessary gases isn&#;t quite possible, these ultra-high purity gases are critical to specific industries, and companies in those sectors will pay extra to get as close to that level as possible.

Food-Grade Gases

The final type of industrial specialty gases is the ones that get used in the food industry. Fresh food gets bad quickly, and if it has to travel long distances and sit on the shelf for a while before someone buys it, it could very well go bad before getting used.

That&#;s where food-grade gases come into play. Companies use these gases with food to keep them in a temporary atmosphere that will prevent them from deteriorating as quickly as they would in normal air conditions. They can also use these gases to keep sodas and beers from going flat before being opened for the first time.

Specialty Gases

Specialty gases are unique mixes or concentrations compared to typical compressed gases. If your business has a need for a specific makeup of gases, we&#;re here to help you with your industrial and medical projects. The following are types of specialty gases we provide to our customers:

  • Food grade
  • High Purity
  • Ultra-high purity (99.9%)
  • Gas mixes

 

Food Grade Gases

Food grade gases are used in a variety of settings including manufacturing, transportation, storage, and more.

For example, there are specific gases used for modified atmosphere packaging that protects food as it&#;s transported from warehouse/food plants to supermarkets and restaurants. Food grade gases can be also used to transport refrigerated food or for storing foods at freezing temperatures. On the beverage side, nitrogen and carbon dioxide are the perfect gas for dispensing soda or beer.

 

High Purity and Ultra-High Purity (99.9%) Gases

The high and ultra-high purity gases are used when regular concentrations and gas mixtures won&#;t do the job. Often times high purity gases are used in laboratories, underwater expeditions, aerospace, fabrication, industrial plants, and other sectors.

 

Gas Mixes

Specialized combinations of gases are called gas mixes. For example, shielding gases used in welding can be a mixture of gases like argon, helium, or carbon dioxide. The specific mixes and types of gases will vary based on the project.

 

 

Making the Gas Switch

Is your current gas supplier only making deliveries every few weeks or leaving you high and dry because they don&#;t have other customers in your area? Often many of our new customers find us because their old gas provider didn&#;t fill their vital gas delivery or decided to wait a week until they had enough business in one area to schedule a delivery. Air Source knows that a delayed gas delivery costs you more than lost business, it costs you staff time and your trust with your supplier.

When you choose Air Source Industries, we&#;ll determine and deliver your compressed gases on a schedule that&#;s convenient for you and at an appropriate frequency for your usage. If your gas cylinders unexpectedly run low and you need a refill before the next scheduled delivery, we can provide next business-day delivery. Often times we can accommodate same-day deliveries if you place your order before 7:30 AM.
