Gas Regulators: Selection, Installation and Operation

From Sigma-Aldrich
 

 
Aldrich lecture bottle and specialty gas regulators are designed for use with dry (anhydrous) gases at a normal operating temperature of 70°F (21°C) and maximum inlet pressure of 3000psig. Certain gases will hydrolyze in the presence of moisture to form corrosive products that can impair regulator operation and cause failure. It is essential that system lines and regulators be purged with dry inert gas before and after use with corrosive gases

Gas chromatography detectors (GC detectors) identify solutes as they exit the chromatographic column. A chromatogram is generated plotting the signal versus time. Search by Specification | Learn more about GC Detectors
Gas chromatography columns (GC columns) are of two types: packed and capillary. Solutes to be measured travel through the column at a rate primarily determined by their physical properties, and the temperature and composition of the column. Search by Specification | Learn more about GC Columns
