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.
