Reconditioned SF6 Gas Parameters

Used gas with a better quality than new

Thanks to the combination of several DILO gas separation and preparation units, we can process even extremely contaminated SF6 gas with to a purity of > 99 %. This not only exceeds industry's reuse standards, but DILO Certified SF6 Gas also exceeds current specifications for new gas.

IEC 60376:2018*    
(Virgin gas)
ASTM D2472-15
SF6 > 99 Vol.%    > 98,5 Vol.% ≥ 99,8 wt%
H2O ≤ 8 µl/l < 200 µl/l ≤ 8 ul/l
Frost point (100 kPa) ≤ -62 °C -36 °C -62 °C
Total acidity (HF equiv.)       < 0,1 µl/l < 7 µl/l ≤ 0,3 ppmw
Air < 500 µl/l < 10.000 µl/l ≤ 500 ppmw (≙ 2500 µl/l
CF4 < 500 µl/l < 4.000 µl/l ≤ 500 ppmw (≙ 830 µl/l)
Oil mist < 1 mg/kg < 10 mg/kg
SO2 < 0,1 µl/l


*For use in mixtures with N2/CF4, SF6 purity of 99.7 % by volume is recommended.
µl/l = ppmv; mg/kg = ppmw, wt% =  percentage by weight
