    Providing you with superior stability and shelf-life

    Luxfer has developed an internal finish that has dramatically improved upon the standard cylinder package.

Luxfer’s low-pressure range is manufactured to higher specification than any other in the industry. This allows our cylinders to be filled to higher pressures than the industry standard—up to 1,305 psi, which means more gas, longer duration in the field and fewer refills.

Using a proprietary aluminum alloy and manufacturing process, Luxfer has developed an internal finish that has dramatically improved upon the standard cylinder package. This internal surface results in greater stability and longer shelf life for more challenging gas blends.

Reactive gases have inherent stability issues even if a gas mixture has been manufactured and calibrated to a high standard. If the species begins to decay within the cylinder, correct calibration of field equipment may not be possible. Luxfer’s portable calibration cylinder range has demonstrated superb performance with reactive gases, which experience little or no decay.

Our low-pressure range is approved to UNISO and can be used in the USA, Canada and Europe.

Applications

Luxfer cylinders are designed to handle a huge range of rare, volatile, speciality and high-purity gases, including gases used in the manufacture of semiconductors and other electronic products, in which maintaining gas purity and stability is essential. Cylinders are also available for the containment of calibration gases, as well as a wide variety of other industrial applications.

Specialty gases

Storage and containment for industrial gases for a wide range of industries and applications.

Ultra-high purity gases

Solutions for the storage and transport of highly-volatile low ppm or ppb ultra-high-purity gases.

Calibration gases

Containment and storage of comparative and reference gases for the calibration of scientific analytical equipment such as gas analysers or gas detectors.
