Raising the standard for quality gas mixtures
Meeting the highest standards for quality management is a high priority for us because it’s important to our customers. That’s why approximately three quarters of Airgas specialty gas labs are ISO 9001 registered and eight are ISO/IEC 17025 accredited.
Our dedication to high standards is also why The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) trusts us to provide the Standard Reference Materials (SRMs)—the yardstick by which all other gas mixtures are measured—for gas mixtures used worldwide.
Our labs have it down to a science with AcuGravTM
All of our specialty gas filling locations use AcuGravTM, our patented filling system that’s totally computerized and provides precise, quality gas mixtures every time. This technical achievement is radically changing the definition of precision and quality in specialty gas mixtures.
Make smart choices for your laser operations
Gas purity is critical to maintaining laser productivity. The Airgas Smart Indicating Purifier helps purify the gas stream to the resonator and provides early warning of gas impurities to prevent damage to resonator optics and electrodes. As the purifier media changes color, you’ll have a quick, clear indication that contaminants have entered your gas stream.
The right supply modes
You can count on Airgas to meet your gas supply needs safely and reliably with a full range of supply modes, including:
- High-pressure and low-pressure gas cylinders
- Portable liquid dewars
- Airgas MicroBulk
- On-site tube trailers
