What exactly is Gas Insulated Switchgear? And where and how is it used? Gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) is a type of switchgear used in electrical power systems. Learn more about its benefits, applications, and maintenance in this blog post.
Any organization using specialty gases for manufacturing and other applications requires the right equipment for proper handling. In the electrical transmission and distribution industry, sulfur hexafluoride is one such gas. It features a high dielectric strength and great insulating properties, making it critical to SF6 gas handling equipment like switchgear and circuit breaker production and for other high-voltage applications. All equipment is subject to damage or defect, making regular maintenance necessary. Read our blog post filled with tips for proper maintenance of SF6 gas equipment and accessories to learn more.
Hydrogen (H2), the first element of the periodic table, is a diatomic molecule comprising two atoms of the same element. It has no color, smell, or taste. The English physicist Henry Cavendish, in 1766, was the first to discover hydrogen gas as a discrete substance. He called it "flammable air" because of its highly explosive nature. In 2024, there is a lot of talk about hydrogen. What is hydrogen gas used for? Read this blog post to find out!
Helium, one of the most abundant natural elements, is an essential element in various industrial applications, including arc welding, semiconductor manufacturing, cryogenics, cleaning rocket fuel tanks, medical research, and as a tracer gas for detecting leaks. However, helium's versatility and high demand have made it a critical and often scarce element. Due to this, numerous industries have adopted helium recycling systems to manage, recapture, and process their helium supply to ensure sustainability. Read on to learn more!
