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.
DILO Certified SF6 Gas Compared to IES and ASTM Standards
Substance | DILO Certified 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
