They say “Don’t fix it if it ain’t broke”, but even classics need an upgrade now and again. DILO is excited to launch the new and improved B143 V4, also known as the Mini Plus Service Cart. The B143 V4 is best suited for recovering SF6 gas quantities of 88 lbs (40 kgs) or less down to less than 5 mbar. Read on to check out the redesigned Mini Plus and learn what new features will help make gas handling even easier!
Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) is widely used in the electric industry. While SF6 gas handling equipment is designed to minimize emissions, SF6 gas can escape into the atmosphere if equipment fails, leaks, or is handled improperly. New research, however, shows that SF6 gas emissions are declining in the United States. Learn more about this study and the importance of safe SF6 gas handling.
For several decades, sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) has been widely used in the electrical transmission and distribution industry. New developments have made it easier to handle SF6 without emissions, and the development of alternative gasses offers further advancements for environmental sustainability. In this post, DILO highlights the history of SF6 gas and the evolution of its applications.
To ensure its purity, SF6 gas must be filtered through an extensive process with the use of specialized equipment. Learn more about the SF6 filtration process from the advanced SF6 gas specialists at DILO.
Safety data sheets can be several pages long, depending on the complexity of the chemical. Given the amount of information listed, reading and understanding SDS forms can be difficult. Learn more about safety data forms and how to read them from DILO in this blog post.
Sulfur hexafluoride, commonly known as SF6 gas, is used in the electrical utility sector and other industries. Its properties, such as a chemically stable structure, high vapor density, and exceptional arc quenching abilities, make it well suited for insulation for medium and high-voltage electrical applications, but also healthcare, magnesium production, particle accelerators, and etching.
