Air Liquide offers its m any Specialty
G as Products in a w ide variety of
containers selected to best serve
your needs. B ecause m any of the
gases w e produce are som ew hat
unique, selection of the best packaging
m ust be based on several different
key criteria:
Safety: The safety of each and
every custom er, as w ell as that
of those w ho handle or transport
our products, is of the utm ost
im portance. Selection of the correct
container and the proper valve is
determ ined by recom m endations
from such groups as the C om pressed
G as Association (C G A) and the
U .S. D epartm ent of Transportation
(D O T). W hen these guidelines do
not cover a particular gas product,
w e often rely on the extensive
experience and expertise w ithin
the Air Liquide organization to
select the proper container.
Compatibility: Since m any Specialty
G ases can be corrosive or reactive in
nature, it is im portant that containers
and valves do not react w ith the
product or alter its properties.
W hen com patible, cylinders or valves
m ade from m ild steel, alum inum ,
brass or Stainless Steel m ay be
used in the packaging of your
requested product(s). For those
gases that are incom patible w ith
ordinary m aterials, the passivation of
the cylinder w alls m ay be em ployed.
For certain products, Air Liquides
unique ALPH ATEC H passivation
process m ay be used to provide
stability to the product.
Customer Convenience: For m ost
gases, the choice of packaging is
dependent upon your requirem ents.
You m ay chose from one of our
m any different cylinders sizes or opt
for larger volum es in m ulti-cylinder
packs, tube trailers or even cryo-
genic liquid containers for
som e pure gases.
Choosing the Packaging for Your
Application
The follow ing pages describe the m any
different cylinder and container options
available for packaging of our products.
W hile m ost of our products are sold in

The reliability of your results depend
on the hom egeneity and quality level
of your gases and installations from
one end of the analytical chain to the
other. Air Liquide sim plifies both your
gas supply choices and optim izes
your analysis conditions, based on
your specific needs.
THE ALPHAGAZ STORY
The Alphagaz nam e has been linked
to Air Liquide for m any years,
becom ing synonym ous w ith quality
Air Liquide products around the
w orld. In the 1990s, it w as decided
to create the Alphagaz global product
line, featuring strict specifications,
enhanced packaging and quality
product available in every country.
International businesses can obtain
identical products globally.
The specifications for the Alphagaz
product line w ere determ ined after a
study w as conducted by an Air Liquide
R esearch and D evelopm ent team .
This team surveyed all the m ajor analytical instrum ent m anufacturers to determ ine
the gas purity requirem ents for their instrum entation. Studies w ere then conducted
on m any of these instrum ents to determ ine the effect of varying levels of im purities
on the instrum ent perform ance. The study also investigated how these effects
could be m ultiplied at different instrum ent sensitivity levels. Their findings concluded
that there w ere three basic ranges for gas purity that w ere critical for specific
applications for m ost analytical instrum ents.
ALPHAGAZ PRODUCT LINE
In 1996, Air Liquide introduced the Alphagaz product line of pure gases for the
laboratory and analytical m arket. It w as found that for m ost analytical applications,
the Alphagaz 1 grade is the optim um selection. For high sensitivity m easurem ents,
Alphagaz 2 grade products w ere recom m ended. B oth grades are designed for
quantitative analytical m ethods com m on to m any laboratories. Since m any laboratory
operations are qualitative in nature, Alphagaz H P, w as introduced. (The specifications
for these products are summarized on the following pages.)
Air Liquide has developed a comprehensive offer to
meet the specific needs of analytical instrumentation
and research applications: The Alphagaz offer.

ALPHAGAZ PACKAGING
Residual Pressure Valve
Each Alphagaz cylinder has a special residual pressure valve (R PV) designed to prevent outside air and other gases from flow ing
back into the cylinder. This ensures the purity of the gas is not com prom ised by any contam inants that could accidentally enter
the cylinder from outside sources.
SCANDINA Cap
Another safety feature is Air Liquides unique SC AN D IN A cap that is perm anently m ounted onto the cylinder. This cap protects
the valve both during transit and w hile the cylinder is in service. C ylinders also have individual tags that indicate the level of
im purities in the particular grade of gas.
Alphagaz 1000
The Alphagaz 1000 product line w as created for applications requiring cryogenic liquid argon, nitrogen and helium . Large
volum es of gaseous nitrogen or argon are needed for IC P and FTIR instrum ents and cryogenic liquid supplies are better suited
than cylinders of com pressed gas. Liquid helium is often used to cool m agnets in instrum ents like N M R spectrophotom eters.
The Alphagaz 1000 products all have specifications identical to Alphagaz 1.

Alphagaz Grades Replacement Chart
Alphagaz A Simplified Selection Criteria
The three grades that m ake up our Alphagaz product line are designed to clear up som e of the confusion w ith the m any
different grades of pure specialty gases that the gas industry currently offers. Each gas com pany has their ow n unique
specifications for their specialty gas grades and often they do not conform to each others specifications. B elow is a table
that sum m arizes the different grades that our three Alphagaz grades replace. Ask your Air Liquide R epresentative for m ore
inform ation on other grades that gas com panies m ay offer.
ALPHAGAZ MIX
C ertain laboratory instrum ents require the use of standard gas blends. These stock blends include such products as fuel
gases for FID detectors, flow through gases for nuclear detectors, and gases for the operation of special detectors for gas
chrom atographs. Air Liquide has introduced the Alphagaz M ix product line of stock m ixtures for m any laboratory analyzer
applications. Each product is blended to m eet the specifications required by m ost instrum ent m anufacturers. Specifications
also lim it critical im purities that m ay im pact the perform ance of instrum ents for w hich they are intended. Inform ation on these
special products can be found in the G as M ixture section of this catalog for Laboratory and Analytical applications.

ALPHAGAZ FLO GAS GENERATORS
For som e laboratory situations, gas generators m ay be m ore suitable than com pressed gas cylinders. Such factors as safety
concerns or reliable supply of gases in cylinders m ake gas generators an attractive option. Air Liquide offers our Alphagaz Flo
generators w hich can supply U H P hydrogen, zero air or U H P nitrogen in quantities ranging from 100 cc/m in up to several
liters/m inute.
Alphagaz Flo Hydrogen Generators
Alphagaz Flo H ydrogen generators produce pure hydrogen from the electrolytic breakdow n of de-ionized w ater. The gas
produced is suitable for such applications as a FID fuel gas or for som e m odels as a carrier gas for gas chrom atographs.
They offer the safety features of producing a low volum e of hydrogen gas at pressures less than 100 psig.
Alphagaz Flo Air Generators
Alphagaz Flo Air generators produce zero grade air from a com pressed air source. The gas produced is suitable for use as an
oxidant gas for FID detectors. Special m odels are available that also rem ove carbon dioxide m aking the air produced suitable
for TO C analyzers and FTIR instrum ents.
Alphagaz Flo Nitrogen Generators
Alphagaz Flo N itrogen generators produce nitrogen at purity levels ranging from 95% up to U H P quality. Low er flow rate units
produce nitrogen in the 1 to 2 lpm range using pressure sw ing adsorption to rem ove the oxygen from a com pressed air
source. The larger units em ploy m em branes to separate the oxygen and nitrogen. These often produce a low er purity grade of
nitrogen. Applications for nitrogen include LC -M S, actuating solenoid valves or even drying glassw are.
Custom Designed Generator Systems
Air Liquide custom designs each laboratory generator system it installs at a custom er site. All related equipm ent is sized and
selected to provide optim um perform ance. O ur field service technicians w ill install the generators, start the system and train
your personnel how to do routine service on the equipm ent. Air Liquide offers several options to our custom ers for these
generator system s. O ne of the m ost popular options is our lease service, w here the custom er pays a m onthly fee and our
field service technicians m aintain and repair the unit if needed. O ne option even offers the supply of back-up gas should the
generator shut dow n.
By combining microcomputer technology with the
ultimate gas control system, Alphagaz Datal will
automatically summon Air Liquide to replenish your
cylinders.

Total Gas Management
Air Liquide, innovator in specialty
gases, offers you continuous supply
of highest quality gases via Alphagaz
D atal, a system that virtually runs
itself. Theres no ordering, m onitoring,
or connecting heavy gas cylinders
and no w orries about m aintaining a
constant supply.
Alphagaz D atal is a sw itchover m anifold system that uses Teleflo technology to
m onitor gas pressure on either side. W henever the pressure on one side drops to
a low level, the m anifold autom atically sw itches the supply to the higher pressure
side and electronically notifies your nearest custom er service representative that the
cylinders on one side need to be changed. The custom er no longer needs to w orry
about keeping an inventory of full cylinders or changing out the cylinders them selves.
Sw itching to the Alphagaz D atal system is easy for our custom ers. W e w ill purchase
and install the system to your new or existing piping system . The Teleflo device
can be connected to an outside telephone line or your netw ork and program m ed
to send an electronic notification to us w hen the pressure drops to a preset level.
Air Liquide w ill also m aintain the system and can upgrade the technology should
your needs increase. M ultiple Alphagaz D atal system s can be installed to m onitor
the flow of different gases.
Air Liquide can design
a custom system to suit
your gas supply needs.

Alphagaz H P is designed for general-purpose applications w here purity of the gas is
not critical. Alphagaz 1000 is liquefied argon, nitrogen or helium and recom m ended
for applications like IC P-M S or N M R . O ur Alphagaz Product Line helps to elim inate
the confusion of the m any different grades used in the Specialty G as Industry.
SELECTING THE RIGHT PRODUCTS FOR ANALYTICAL
INSTRUMENTATION
C hoosing the right gas products for a particular analytical instrum ent and the
application that it is intended to be used can be confusing. The m anufacturers in
the gas industry have introduced a m ultitude of gas grades, w hich can lead to the
confusion in selecting the best grade for your application. Air Liquide has sim plified
the selection by reducing the com plex m atrix of gas grades dow n to three different
purities. The purity level for these three grades w as determ ined by studying the
various instrum ents that require these
gases and optim izing the im purity levels
to yield the best instrum ent perform ance.
Instead of focusing on the total purity
of the gas, w e set the lim its on the
critical im purities that can affect the
perform ance of the instrum ent and
application it is used for. Follow ing is a
list of the com m only used detectors for
analysis in laboratories today and the
im purities in the gases used that could
affect perform ance.
PURE GASES
Air Liquide is one of the largest
producers of pure gases globally.
B ecause w e produce m ost of these
gases ourselves, w e closely control
the quality and consistency of each
gas. O ur custom ers can be sure of
getting the best quality w e can offer
for every gas w e produce. W e also
offer m any different packaging options
for the various products w e produce,
ranging from sm all lecture bottles up
to bulk delivery for certain products.
PURITY GRADES
Air Liquide offers several different
grades of m ost pure products w e sell.
These grades have been selected
based on the typical applications w here
they are com m only used. W e also
offer our tradem arked Alphagaz
products that are designed to elim inate
som e of the confusion in ordering
Specialty G ases. O ur Alphagaz 2
products are recom m ended for those
applications requiring the highest purity
products. Alphagaz 1 is designed for
m ost com m on applications for
Laboratory and Analytical Instrum ents.
We closely control the
quality and consistency
of each gas.
IMPURITIES AFFECTING GAS DETECTORS
Flame Ionization Detector (FID) H ydrocarbons in the carrier
gases, fuel gases and oxidizer gases can decrease detector
sensitivity and reduce the life of the detector. Trace oxygen and
m oisture in the carrier gas can dam age chrom atographic colum ns.
Thermal Conductivity Detector (TCD) Trace hydrocarbons
and oxygen in the carrier gas can corrode the filam ent detector
w ires and reduce sensitivity.
Electron Capture Detector (ECD) M oisture and oxygen in the
carrier gas can reduce response of detector. Trace halocarbons
in the nuclear counter gas (P-5 m ixture) can cause baseline shift
or negative peaks.
Chemiluminescence Detector (CD) These detectors are
affected by the presence of trace levels of the specific com pounds
that they are designed to m easure. Trace levels of sulfur for
exam ple often causes a shift in response.
Discharge Ionization Detector (DID) Trace levels of oxygen,
m oisture and hydrocarbons can reduce detector response and
affect baseline stability.
Pulsed Discharge Helium Ionization Detector (PDHID)
Trace levels of oxygen, m oisture and hydrocarbons can reduce
detector response and affect baseline stability.
Photo Ionization Detector (PID) Trace levels of oxygen,
m oisture and hydrocarbons can reduce detector
response and affect baseline stability.
Helium Ionization Detector (HID) Trace levels
of hydrocarbons, oxygen or m oisture can affect
detector stability.
Fourier Transform Infrared Detector (FTIR)
Im purities present in the carrier gas w ith absorbance
bands at the sam e w avelength as the species being
m easured can result in inaccurate response. M oisture
and oxygen can interfere w ith IR spectra.
Pulsed Discharge Electron Capture Detector
(PDECD) M oisture and oxygen in the carrier gas can
reduce response of detector. Trace halocarbons in the
nuclear counter gas (P-5 m ixture) can cause baseline
shift or negative peaks.
Pulsed Discharge Photo Ionization Detector
(PDPID) Trace levels of oxygen, m oisture and
hydrocarbons can reduce detector response and
affect baseline stability.
Pulsed Flame Photometric Detector (PFPD)
Trace levels of oxygen, m oisture and hydrocarbons can
reduce detector response and affect baseline stability.
C ontam inants in flam e fuel and oxidizer can interfere
w ith detector response.
Mass Spectroscopy Detector (MS) Im purities w ith
atom ic m ass at the equivalent of the species being
m easured can result in inaccurate response.
Choosing the right gas products for
a particular analytical instrument
can be confusing.

CERTIFICATES OF BATCH ANALYSIS
C ertificates of B atch Analysis are norm ally used for pure gases but m ay be used for m ixtures prepared on m anifolds w ith
m ultiple cylinders. N orm ally, only one or tw o cylinders are analyzed from each lot to determ ine the purity of the entire lot.
A batch certificate m ay contain all the num bers of the cylinders in each lot and the assigned lot num ber. For pure gases, the
num bers w ill be expressed as either < or > values. Each C ertificate of B atch Analysis is signed by the analyst perform ing the
analyses. R equest for C ertificates of B atch Analysis m ust be m ade at tim e of ordering.
Air Liquide also uses standards such as N IST Traceable R eference M aterials
(N TR M s), or G as M anufacturers Internal Standards (G M IS). These standards
have a w ell-docum ented path of traceability to accepted benchm arks com m on
to the gas industry.
HOW GAS MIXTURES ARE PREPARED AND ANALYZED
Gravimetric Mixtures
G as m ixtures are prepared by a num ber of different m ethods. B y far the m ost
com m on m ethod used is to gravim etrically w eigh in each com ponent of the
m ixture using accurate scales. These scales are routinely calibrated against N IST
w eights, m eaning that the actual m ixture can be considered as being N IST traceable.
O ftentim es, these gravim etric num bers are considered to have less uncertainty than
analysis against other reference standards. This is particularly true for m ixtures
containing non-reactive com ponents at percent level concentrations.
Partial Pressure Mixtures
An alternative w ay to prepare gas m ixtures is by partial pressure follow ing
D altons Law for gas m ixtures: the pressure of each com ponent is determ ined
as a percentage of the total pressure of the m ixture. Less volatile com ponents are
added first follow ed by gases w ith higher vapor pressures. U sing this m ethod,
m ultiple cylinders can be filled on m anifolds. To determ ine accurate concentrations
for m ixtures prepared by this m ethod, analysis against reference standards m ust
be done.
GAS MIXTURES
Analytical C hem ists know that
the analytical capability of their
instrum entation is only as good as
the calibration of their equipm ent.
G as m ixtures produced by Air Liquide
have long been selected as the
definitive standard for calibration
procedures. O ur ISO 9001-2000
certified laboratories follow strict
procedures for preparation and
analysis of gas m ixtures, thus ensuring
products of the highest quality
and fully traceable to recognized
standards. W hen appropriate, our
calibration m ixtures are analyzed
against benchm ark standards such
as Standard R eference M aterials
(SR M s) obtained from the N ational
Industrial Standards and Technology
(N IST) or other recognized suppliers
such as N M I in The N etherlands.
Gas mixtures produced by Air Liquide have long been

Our clients use sophisticated
instruments to certify the
consumption of the calibration
standards we prepare.
HOW AIR LIQUIDE CAN SUPPLY THE QUALITY MIXTURES YOU REQUIRE
O ne critical factor is im portant for the preparation of gas m ixtures by either m ethod above. It is im perative that each pure
com ponent used to m ake a gas blend be of the highest purity available. If cheaper raw m aterials of low er purity are used,
gravim etric num bers should not be used to determ ine the concentration of that com ponent unless the uncertainty of the purity
is factored into the reported num bers. Also, the use of low er purity raw m aterials can create problem s for the end user, such
as unidentified peaks on chrom atographs. Air Liquide only uses the highest purity com ponents available to m ake our m ixtures.
C urrently, w e stock m ore than 800 pure com ponents at our labs for use in m aking gas or liquid standards.
Limitations
B ecause of the infinite num ber of com binations of gases w hich can be produced, the G as M ixture Section serves as a general
guideline for m any of the com m only requested m ixtures. W hile our laboratories exercise great flexibility in preparing the exact
m ixture you require, there m ay be som e lim itations on certain m ixtures due to the follow ing factors:
Mixtures that cannot be prepared due to safety factors
Mixtures containing components that can react with other components
Mixtures that do not remain homogeneous or stable in the cylinder
Mixtures outside the prescribed limits of preparation tolerance or analytical accuracy outlined in the table on
the following page
Certain mixtures with components at ppm or ppb levels whose balance gas contains higher levels of these
components prior to blending

TYPES OF GAS MIXTURES
Air Liquide supplies a num ber of different grades of m ixtures both in the gas and liquid phase. These different grades m eet
the requirem ents for m ost applications that standards are used for in laboratory and analytical applications.
Dual Certified Primary Standards are recom m ended w here the greatest accuracy is required. These m ixtures are prepared
gravim etrically to close tolerances and analyzed against N IST traceable standards. The reported concentrations are tied to
both the gravim etric num bers and the analytical results to determ ine the reported uncertainty. B oth num bers should fall w ithin
1% of the reported value. Such dual analysis ensures the greatest accuracy.
Primary Standards are prepared gravim etrically to close tolerances. They are analyzed against reference standards if available
to confirm the gravim etric num bers. The m ethodology used to determ ine each concentration and the uncertainty is reported on
the C ertificate of Analysis.
Custom Certified Standards are prepared gravim etrically but m ust be certified against traceable reference standards.
G ravim etric num bers m ay be used in place of analytical num bers but only if they are determ ined to have less uncertainty.
The m ethod of determ ination of the reported num ber is stated on the C ertificate of Analysis.
Gravimetric Certified are low er cost standards that are suitable for routine analysis or peak identification. The reported
concentrations are determ ined using gravim etric num bers for each com ponent. O nly qualitative laboratory analysis m ay be
done on these m ixtures to confirm each com ponent. Since the concentration of reactive com ponents m ay change inside the
cylinder, the gravim etric num bers for reactive com ponents m ay not be a good indication of actual concentration in the blend.
Therefore, the uncertainty of reactive com ponents w ill not be reported.
Mixtures with reactive
components are analyzed
in the lab to confirm their
concentration and stability.

ENVIRONMENTAL
MONITORING STANDARDS
The C lean Air Act brought about
m any changes in the early 1990s.
The EPA set forth a plan to require
that any industry burning fossil fuel is
required to m onitor the em issions
from their processes. C ontinuous
Em ission M onitors (C EM s) of stack
em issions for pollutants such as sulfur
dioxide, carbon m onoxide, nitric
oxides, and carbon dioxide are
required to be calibrated routinely. The
gas industry offered C EM s standards
to calibrate these instrum ents on a
daily basis. The EPA also required that
stacks w ith higher levels of em issions
undergo periodic R elative Accuracy
Test Audits (R ATA) tests w here C EM s
m onitors have to be calibrated w ith
standards directly traceable back to
N IST reference standards. Since N IST
w as not capable of supplying the
quantities of calibration standards
required for these tests, the EPA
Protocol Program w as developed
w ith the G as M anufacturers to provide
EPA Protocol Standards. Air Liquide
w as a pioneer in this program and
has continued to be a participant in
good standing w ith the EPA.
EPA PROTOCOL STANDARDS
Air Liquide produces EPA Protocol calibration standards at several of its laboratories.
All follow the procedures outlined in EPA-600R -97/121 that details preparation
m ethods, analytical m ethods, and reporting of the standards. All EPA Protocols
m ust be certified to an accuracy of +/-2% but m ost standards have uncertainties of
+/-1% or less. B elow is a list of the general ranges of EPA Protocols that Air Liquide
produces by G 1 procedures and their shelf life. W e also offer EPA Protocols
containing m ultiple m inor com ponents w hen they are com patible in the m ixture.

EPA PROTOCOL STANDARDS OFFERED BY AIR LIQUIDE
Primary Grade EPA Protocols
Air Liquide offers our Prim ary G rade EPA Protocols for those custom ers requiring m ixture accuracies that are better than
the m inim um requirem ents of the EPA. These protocols are analyzed against N IST traceable standards to give an uncertainty
of +/-1% or less. All the standards are prepared and analyzed follow ing G -1 procedures. M ost of the com ponents and their
concentration ranges listed above are available as Prim ary G rade Protocols.
Prim ary G rade EPA Protocols can offer the custom er som e distinct advantages over ordinary EPA Protocols. If a custom er
can achieve a relative accuracy of less than 7.5% for their Acid R ain M onitoring Program , they m ay be eligible to reduce the
frequency of R ATA testing, saving thousands of dollars each year.
CEMs Grade EPA Protocols
M any custom ers can achieve the relative accuracy requirem ents of the Acid R ain Program w ithout any problem s. For
situations like this, Air Liquide offers our C EM s G rade EPA Protocols w ith an uncertainty of <+/-2% . These m eet the m inim um
EPA Protocol guidelines and can save the custom er m oney. Should the custom er need an EPA Protocol outside the ranges
prescribed above, often w e can prepare EPA Protocols using the G -2 m ethods. These protocols are also ideal for use as daily
calibration standards for C EM s m onitors.
CEMS Zero Gases
Air Liquide also m anufactures C EM S
Zero grades of both N itrogen and Air
for calibration of the baseline zero of
C EM S analyzers. These gases are
essentially free of those contam inants
that m ost specific analyzers are designed
to m onitor.

CEMS CERTIFIED STANDARDS
D aily calibration of C EM s m onitors does not require the use of EPA Protocol standards and C EM standards offer a low er cost
option. Air Liquide produces a full range of C EM s standards for daily calibration. These can be produced to m eet the grades
listed in the front of this section of the catalog. M ulti-com ponent C EM s standards are also available provided the com ponents
are com patible in the m ixtures. W e also produce zero gases for baseline calibration including C EM Zero Air and C EM Zero
N itrogen.
STANDARDS FOR ENGINE DYNAMOMETER TESTING
Air Liquide supplies m any of the testing facilities that perform em issions testing on autom otive and other engines. These test
facilities m ust follow the EPA procedures detailed in 40 C FR section 183. For critical calibration standards, traceability back to
a N IST standard is guaranteed. O nly a SR M or a N TR M is used as a reference standard for these critical applications. These
standards all have +/- 1% uncertainty as called for in the EPA procedures. For daily calibration, low er cost standards indirectly
traceable to N IST can be supplied. H ere is a generalized list of the types of standards that w e supply:
Carbon Monoxide standards in the low to high ppm range
Carbon Dioxide standards in the high ppm to 18% range
Nitric Oxide Standards in the low to high ppm range
Propane in air standards in the low percent to 50% LEL levels
Methane in air standards in the low percent to 50% LEL levels

Applications
Alphatech m ixtures have such useful applications as calibration standards for
instrum ents used to m onitor contam inants in process feedstock stream s. M any
chem ical processes are very sensitive to low levels of certain im purities that can
reduce production yields. Even concentrations of certain com pounds at <100 ppb
levels can cost a petrochem ical com pany m illions of dollars each year in lost
production and higher production cost.
Future Product Development
N ew Alphatech m ixtures are being developed to m eet the future dem ands of the
Petrochem ical and R efining Industries. Products like sulfur standards at <100 ppb
levels in several gases are available that are stable for over 6 m onths. O ther m ixtures
w ill be announced as they becom e available.
Alphatech REG
N ew calibration standards at low ppb levels require the developm ent of new
techniques to deliver these standards to process analyzers and analytical
instrum ents. O ur Alphatech R EG regulator w as developed by Air Liquide as a w ay
to deliver these new standards from a high-pressure cylinder to a low er pressure
sam ple injection system w ithout lengthy passivation. This new regulator can be
used w ithout passivation due to its unique design w ith a low w etted surface.
This regulator delivers the sam e standard in our cylinder to the instrum ent being
calibrated w ithout change.
ALPHATECH MIXTURES
WITH REACTIVE
COMPONENTS AT LOW
PPB CONCENTRATIONS
Air Liquide has developed new
technologies for passivating and
preparing the internal surface of our
cylinders that allow for the production
of stable m ixtures containing reactive
m inor com ponents at sub-ppm
concentrations. Techniques w ere also
developed to further purify the gases
used for the balance of these m ixtures.
The result has been a new product
line know n as Alphatech.
Alphatech REG is ideal
for use with calibration
standards containing
low levels of reactive
components.

Air Liquide has the expertise to produce calibration
standards that are stable and duplicate the process
stream being analyzed.
Petrochem ical Applications.
63
We stock more than 800 pure components
at our La Porte, Texas, facility for making
these blends.
Som e typical standards include:
M onitoring of feedstock stream s for a chem ical process. This m ay include
standards w ith trace m inor com ponents at ppm or even ppb levels w ith balance
gases such as ethylene, propylene, or propane.
M onitoring of interm ediate stream s in a chem ical process. These blends often
consist of several com ponents m any of w hich could be present in percent levels.
M onitoring of recycle stream s in a plant process. Analyzers are used to determ ine
how to adjust a dow nstream process to allow for the use of a recycle stream
that m ay be changing.
Q uality Assurance for final product stream s.
M onitoring of w aste stream s going for disposal.
Technical Strength
Air Liquide has the expertise to help optim ize the blend com position for m axim um

PROCESS ANALYZER
CALIBRATION STANDARDS
The rapid autom ation of m any
production processes has resulted
in the w idespread use of process
analyzers in m ost petrochem ical
plants. O nline process m onitoring has
replaced a large num ber of laboratory
analyses, allow ing adjustm ents to be
m ade in a m ore tim ely m anner, less off
spec m aterial, and increased yields.
The calibration of these process
analyzers requires standards that
closely duplicate the conditions of the
stream they are sam pling. Air Liquide
has the expertise to produce calibration
standards that are stable and duplicate
the process stream being analyzed.
These m ay be either gas or liquid
blends w hose com position can be

GAS PHASE
HYDROCARBON
STANDARDS
Air Liquide produces both standard
gaseous reference blends and custom
blends for use in calibrating both
laboratory and field instrum entation.
M ost gaseous hydrocarbon standards
are custom blends designed to
m atch a particular gas stream .
Natural Gas Reference Standards are m ixtures supplied w ith an analysis of the
com ponents (m ol% ); the B TU value of the m ixture; the specific gravity; and the
com pressibility factor. The com positions of these various m ixtures are listed w ith
organizations like the G as Processors Association in publication G PA N o. 2261
Analysis of N atural G as by G as C hrom atography or the ASTM in Test M ethod
D -1945.C ertified B TU and Specific G ravity N atural G as Standards are also
available. The B TU value and the Specific G ravity are calculated based upon
the analysis of the gas. G as standards are also available that conform to the
com position recom m ended by m any of the instrum ent m anufacturers for a specific
application. Tell us the instrum ent to be calibrated and w e can provide w hat the
m anufacturer specifies.

B oth standard liquid blends, like those specified by the G PA or ASTM , as w ell as
custom blends are available. B ecause w e stock m ore than 800 pure com ponents,
blends to your exact requirem ents can be produced. Typically, liquid blends are
available in several different sizes and types of cylinders. Am ong the options
available are:
Low Pressure Cylinders: These cylinders are equipped w ith dip tubes that
allow for the liquid blend to be rem oved from the bottom of the low cylinder.
The cylinder is norm ally pressurized w ith an inert gas to reduce the am ount of
volatile com ponents in the headspace of the cylinder. The advantage of low
pressure cylinders is that they offer larger volum es of product and convenience
of use. The lim itation w ith m ixture in these types of cylinders is that as liquid
product is w ithdraw n, volatile com ponents in the m ixture m ay vaporize into the
headspace altering the com position. For m any applications this is not a serious
problem and low pressure cylinders offer the best options.
Floating Piston Cylinders: Piston cylinders offer the advantage of m aintaining
the liquid blend in a single phase. Pressure is m aintained in the cylinder by a
constant pressure on one side of the piston w ith an inert gas. M ixtures in these
cylinders are typically used w here accurate liquid calibration standards are
necessary for a particular application.
LIQUID HYDROCARBON
BLENDS
Liquefied Uniphase Calibration
Standards are m ade w ith high purity
com ponents that are analyzed prior to
use in these m ixtures. Liquid blends
are typically prepared gravim etrically
using precision balances calibrated
w ith w eights certified by N IST. After
blending, the m ixtures are analyzed
by dedicated instrum entation to verify
com position. Specific com ponents are
identified, quantified and reported in the
extended analysis that accom panies
each m ixture.
Sulfur Standards in hydrocarbons
are another of our specialties. W e can
provide both gas and liquid standards
w hich are used to m onitor levels of a
variety of sulfur species. M any of
these blends are used to calibrate
total sulfur analyzers in refineries and
gas plants.
Floating piston cylinders offer the advantage of
maintaining the liquid blend in a single phase for
better accuracy.

P-I-A-N-O HYDROCARBON CALIBRATION STANDARDS
(PARAFFINS, ISOPARAFFINS, AROMATICS, NAPHTHENES, OLEFINS)
P-I-A-N -O m ixtures are used to calibrate instrum ents used for the analysis of naphtha fractions, gasoline fractions and
other refinery stream s. The individual blends are packaged in septum vials for convenience of syringe sam pling. Each vial
is accom panied by a chrom atogram and a C ertification of C om position determ ined gravim etrically.
The accuracy of these m ixtures saves the analyst tim e and investigative expense in perform ing chrom atographic analysis.
The accom panying C ertificate of Analysis lists the w eight, m olar and liquid volum e percentages, the m olecular w eight, specific
gravity, boiling point, the chrom atographic retention order and elution tim es for each com ponent. The instrum ent conditions
used to produce the given chrom atogram are also included. Standard M ixtures are listed on the follow ing pages. The values
given for each com ponent below are typical and m ay change slightly from lot to lot. Exact values are given in the individual
lot analysis.
P-I-A-N-O Blends are
available either as separate
vials containing each
individual blend or as a
complete P-I-A-N-O kit.

PRESSURE REGULATORS
FOR SPECIALTY GASES
Selecting the right regulator for
handling a specialty gas product is
critical to m aintaining the overall purity
of the gas stream at the point of use.
O rdinary industrial regulators are
constructed of m aterials that m ay not
be com patible w ith m any specialty
gases. Air Liquide offers its ow n
product line of regulators that are
designed to handle high purity gas
stream s w ithout contam ination.
Materials of Construction
It is im portant that all m aterials of
construction in a specialty gas
regulator be com patible w ith the gas
stream it is in contact w ith during
use. M ost regulators are m ade from
Stainless Steel or brass but som e
are m ade from alum inum . Alum inum
should not be used for oxygen or m ost
corrosive gases. For higher purity
gases, Stainless Steel is generally
recom m ended. For inert gases, brass
is often used. For m ost specialty gas
products regulators m ade from
m achined bar stock are recom m ended
over forged body regulators. Forged
body regulators have w etted surfaces
that are m uch rougher than m achined
bodies and those surfaces can trap
trace com ponents in the gas stream .
B rass regulators m ay also be either
chrom e plated or electroless nickel-
plated.
The other m aterials used to construct
a regulator are also im portant. The
diaphragm and gauges as w ell as
parts like seats, seals and other w etted
surfaces should be com patible w ith
the respective gas service. Stainless
steel diaphragm s are recom m ended
for m ost specialty gas regulators.
N eoprene diaphragm s such as those
used on industrial regulators should
not be used. C heck the com patibility
charts in the appendix of this catalog
to determ ine w hich m aterials are safe
to be in contact w ith the particular
gas service.
Single-Stage or Two-Stage
Regulators
There are som e im portant differences
betw een single-stage and tw o-stage
regulators. Single-stage regulators drop
the pressure from a high pressure to
a low er pressure in a single step.
B ecause the inlet pressure changes
as a cylinder of gas is consum ed,
the outlet pressure on a single-stage
regulator m ay change or droop. For
m any laboratory applications, a
constant gas delivery pressure is
required and tw o-stage regulators are
recom m ended. Tw o-stage regulators
differ from single-stage regulators in
that the inlet pressure is first dropped
to a consistent low er pressure and
that pressure is then regulated to the
desired outlet pressure. B ecause
there is m uch less drift in outlet
pressure for tw o-stage regulators,
they are recom m ended for m ost
specialty gas applications.
Air Liquide offers m any different types
of regulators in addition to the ones
listed here in our catalog. Please
contact us for the recom m ended
regulator for your particular application.
For higher purity gases or corrosive gases, Stainless
Steel is generally recommended. For inert gases, brass
is often used. For most specialty gas products, regula-
tors made from machined bar stock are recommended
over forged body regulators.

Stainless Steel Two-Stage
Regulator
These tw o-stage regulators are
recom m ended for use w ith calibration
m ixtures containing low levels of
reactive gases. They are ideal for use
w ith such m ixtures as EPA Protocols
w ith reactive com ponents at less
than 10 ppm . The Alphatech R EG
also w orks w ell w ith our Alphatech
product line of sub-ppm level
calibration standards.
These regulators are designed w ith
low internal dead volum e and direct
flow through the regulator to m inim ize
adsorption of trace com ponents on the
w etted surfaces. For m any m ixtures
containing reactive com ponents,
these regulators can be used w ithout
having to passivate the w alls for
several hours. This saves tim e and
reduces the need for larger volum es
of expensive gas m ixtures.

GAS SPECIFIC PURIFIERS
The G as Specific Purifiers offered by
Air Liquide are designed to reduce
contam inant levels in gas chrom ato-
graphy carrier gases from low ppm
levels to ppb levels for a greater
variety of contam inants than m ost
sim ilar products. G C /M S sensitivity
is increased w hile baseline noise is
decreased. The perform ance and
service life of capillary colum ns m ay
also be im proved. These m odules
offer optim um perform ance largely
as a result of their unique m ultiple
bed design. C ontam inants that

liquefied gases colder than -130F.
Such liquefied gases m ay include
nitrogen, oxygen, argon, carbon
dioxide, nitrous oxide, and helium .
M ost of these are sold to laboratories
under the nam e Alphagaz 1000.
These containers m ay also be
referred to as D ew ars or VG Ls
(vent, gas or liquid use valves). The
users of these containers should
be aw are of their construction and
how they operate.
C ryogenic containers are portable
storage devices that are w ell
insulated due to the large differences
in tem perature betw een the outside
atm osphere and the liquefied product
inside. M ost consist of tw o containers
w ith a vacuum betw een them for
optim um insulation. They are w ell
engineered to prevent vaporization of
the stored contents and typically have
a loss rate of 1 to 2 % per day. Safety
system s are built in that vent off any
pressure build-up periodically to prevent
rupture. That is w hy one w ill often hear
gas venting from the safeties on these
containers particularly during w arm
w eather. The gas losses one hears is
actually very sm all in com parison to
the total gas volum e of the container
though since one liter of liquid can
produce approxim ately 700 to 850
liters of gas.
Operation of a Cryogenic
Container
C ryogenic containers are designed
for supplying either gas or liquid
product. At the top of the vessel is a
m anifold system w ith m ultiple valves
that can easily confuse an inexperienced
operator. M ost containers have four
valves that are labeled for their
intended use. There are tw o valves
w ith the appropriate C G A fitting for
the product, one for gas w ithdraw al
and one for liquid w ithdraw al. There
is one valve norm ally labeled vent
w hich w ill vent off the headspace
gases during filling of the container.
The fourth valve is labeled pressure
building valve and is opened w hen
one needs to rem ove larger quantities
of product particularly for gas w ith-
draw al. This valve allow s a sm all
am ount of liquid to pass through a
vaporizing coil betw een the inner and
outer jacket of the container to increase
the pressure in the headspace. The
pressure build up in the head space
is lim ited by the pressure building
regulator and the safety relief device
on the container.
G as phase w ithdraw al is norm ally not
from the headspace of the container.
W hen the gas w ithdraw al valve is
opened, liquid product goes through
a coil betw een the jackets and is
vaporized. Som e containers m ay also
have an econom izer that w ill allow
excess pressure that builds up in the
headspace to discharge through the
gas phase outlet w hen it is open.
Selection of the right pressure relief
device is critical for m ost applications
w here cryogenic containers are used.
These relief devices control the rate
at w hich both gas and liquid products
are delivered as w ell as their delivery
pressure. N orm ally, cryogenic containers
are available w ith three different pressure
relief devices or safeties- 22 psig, 230
psig, or 350 psig. O ther pressures
are available for special applications
but they cannot exceed the rated

designed to protect personnel from extrem ely cold gases and liquids.
D o not tam per w ith or alter outlet fittings or safeties.
Store oxidizing products like liquid oxygen and nitrous oxide aw ay from

R em em ber that all cryogenic containers periodically release gases and that they
should not be stored or used in enclosed spaces w ithout proper ventilation.
O utlet lines for both liquid and gas delivery m ust be designed to w ithstand
extrem ely low tem peratures. Pressure relief devices on these lines should be
considered w hen there is a possibility of pressure build up inside.
D o not use the pressure building valve w hen w ithdraw ing liquid product under
25 psig. Slow ly open the liquid w ithdraw al valve w hen transferring product to
open containers since the liquid m ay splatter.
Turn the pressure building device off w hen not w ithdraw ing product.
Report any containers that you suspect that the safety m ay be opening excessively.
Either the safety m ay have failed or the vacuum betw een the jackets m ay have
been lost resulting in excessive heat transfer
N ever transfer cryogenic liquids to totally enclosed vessels. M ake sure any
enclosed vessels have properly designed safeties that can handle rapid pres-
sure build up.
Store cryogenic vessels in cool w ell ventilated areas aw ay from direct sunlight
or heat.
N ever drop cryogenic containers or try to roll them on their sides. R ough handling
of these containers can cause serious dam age.

applications, a 22 psig safety is ideal
particularly w hen a large volum e of
low pressure product is needed. M any
users m ake the m istake of thinking
that the low er pressure safety w ill result
in increased product loss w hich is not
entirely true. Product loss during
storage is due prim arily to heat leak-
ing through the jackets and insulated
container and that heat transfer is
not dependent on the safety.
Safe Handling and Use
C ryogenic containers are m uch heavier
than m ost gas cylinders. Em pty
cryogenic containers typically w eigh
over 200 lbs and full containers can
w eigh up to 500 lbs. B ecause of the
increased w eight and the design of
the containers them selves, there are
several safety recom m endations that
should be follow ed:

M any of our Specialty G as products
have properties that can cause
serious accidents, injuries, or even
death if proper precautions and safety
practices are not follow ed. B efore
using any of our products, please
consult the M aterial Safety D ata
Sheets (M SD S) as w ell as other
safety reference m aterials that m ay
be available. W hen in doubt, please
contact your local Air Liquide
R epresentative before using the
product. Also it is im portant that
only appropriate gas equipm ent be
used w ith our products and that
the instructions for operating this
equipm ent are carefully follow ed.
Air Liquide w ould like to offer these
10 sim ple procedures that should be
observed w henever handling either
com pressed gas cylinders or liquefied
gas containers.
1. Read the label on all cylinders
or containers before use to
identify their contents. If the
label is illegible or m issing, do
not assum e w hat the contents
are. R eturn the cylinder to your
supplier. Also, never rely on the
cylinder color or type of C G A
valve to identify its contents since
neither are definitive indic ators of
the cylinder contents.
2. Observe all warnings and
safety precautions set forth
on the cylinder label. If m ore
inform ation is needed, consult
the M SD S sheets or other
recom m ended literature.
3. Never remove the protective
valve cap until the cylinder
is secured and ready for use.
C ylinders should be securely
chained or placed in storage
racks w hen not being m oved.
H azardous gases, in particular,
should only be used in specially
designed gas cabinets.
4. Never attempt to lift a cylinder
by its protective valve cap.
Also, devices like electrom agnets
should not be used to lift cylinders.
5. Always use a recommended
pressure reducing regulator
when withdrawing any gaseous
product from a cylinder or
other high pressure source.
M any Specialty G ases require
specially engineered regulators to
insure the integrity of the gas and
the safety of its use. To m inim ize
the chance of injury, stand to one
side of the regulator aw ay from
the discharge side w hen opening
the cylinder valve.
6. Never use an adaptor to
connect a regulator to a
cylinder valve having a differ-
ent fitting. Specific valve outlet
connections have been designed
for m ost gases to prevent their
m isuse or contam ination. For m ore
inform ation, see the pam phlet V-1
published by the C om pressed G as
Association (C G A)/AN SI (Am erican
N ational Standards Institute) titled
C om pressed C ylinder O utlet and
Inlet C onnections.
7. Never attempt to transfer any
gas from one cylinder to
another or mix any gases in a
cylinder.
8. Containers of liquefied com-
pressed gases must be kept
in an upright position and
secured to prevent them from
being knocked over. For certain
products w hich are liquid at
am bient tem peratures like carbon
dioxide or nitrous oxide, special
cylinders having dip tubes on their
valves allow for liquid w ithdraw al in
the upright position. For gaseous
w ithdraw al from these cylinders,
only specially designed invertors
that securely hold the cylinder
should be used.
9. Always use a cart when moving
cylinders or liquefied gas
containers. D o not roll cylinders
even for short distances.
10. When handling cryogenic
liquids always use properly
designed safety equipment.
Protective gloves, face shields,
and clothing can prevent contact
burns or frost-bite. Also, any
piping or equipm ent that com es
in contact w ith these extrem ely
cold liquids should be designed
for service at very low tem pera-
tures.
Safety is of utmost importance to Air Liquide, both for
our customers and the employees who routinely handle
our products.
Safety in H andling of Specialty G ases.
133
Som e of these specific hazards associated w ith certain Specialty G as Products
include the follow ing:
Flammable G ases w hich have the red Flam m able G as diam ond-shaped label
burn vigorously in the presence of air or other oxidizers and an ignition source.
U nder certain conditions and concentrations violent explosions are possible.
Toxic or Poisonous Gases Products having the w hite Inhalation H azard
label on them present hazards to living creatures exposed to them . Inhalation
of some toxic Specialty Gases can be fatal in very low concentrations
while other others can cause specific organ damage after repeated
exposure. Som e toxic gases have corrosive properties w hich can cause serious
dam age w hen in contact w ith certain m aterials. These products can also cause
serious eye or skin dam age upon contact.
Pyrophoric Gases These gases can react violently w hen in contact w ith air
or certain other chem icals often reacting exotherm ically generating heat. U nder
certain conditions, som e gases can undergo polym erization w ith release of large
am ounts of energy in the form of heat.
Asphyxiant Gases M any gases can displace air in confined spaces reducing
the oxygen level needed to support life. O ften this takes place w ith little or no
w arning, such as odor, and can overcom e exposed personnel quickly.
Cryogenic Liquids C ryogenic liquids can cause cold burns and tissue
dam age because of the extrem ely low tem peratures of these products.
Liquefied com pressed gases can also cause cold burns because of the rapid
evaporation of the liquid. Also, all cryogenic liquids produce large volum es of gas
w hen they vaporize and can result in rapid pressure increases w hen confined.
Specialty Gases often present hazards that are not
normally associated with the more commonly used
gas products.

OBTAIN SAFETY INFORMATION BEFORE HANDLING SPECIALTY GASES
Safety inform ation for specific gases can be found in M SD S sheets or other
published literature. This m aterial should be obtained and review ed before using
these products. Personnel should becom e thoroughly fam iliar w ith these safety
guidelines and copies should be readily available for referral if there are any doubts.
If there are any questions, contact your local Air Liquide R epresentative or contact
C ustom er Services at 1-800-248-1427.
READ THE PRECAUTIONARY LABELS ON CYLINDERS
This im portant w arning applies to all gas cylinders but particularly for specialty
gases due to their unique properties. O ften special precautionary labels are
added in addition to the standard labels found on all gas cylinders and these
labels should be thoroughly understood by everyone w ho com es in contact
w ith these cylinders.
ALWAYS USE RECOMMENDED
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT WHEN
USING SPECIALTY GASES
Appropriate personal protective
equipm ent such as respirators, eye
protective equipm ent, chem ical
resistant gloves, and clothing should
be w orn w hen using certain products.
R elated safety equipm ent such as eye
w ash stations and show ers should be
nearby and inspected frequently to
m ake certain that they function properly.
Am bient air m onitors that detect
specific gases are im portant safety
devices recom m ended for m any
gases, particularly those gases w hich
can be lethal in low dosages.
Certain specialty gases require that special precautions
be taken by personnel handling these products.
Special Precautions.
Always consult the MSDS sheets for
each gas before using them.
135
Safe handling of
all chemicals and
gases in a laboratory
is important since
many chemicals
can present serious
hazards.
136
C ylinder fires can be especially dangerous since often several additional cylinders
m ay be stored in the sam e area. If a cylinder should start to burn, the resulting
heat m ay cause the safeties on other surrounding cylinders to rupture and fuel the
fire. C ool neighboring cylinders w ith w ater spray and elim inate other possible
sources of ignition.
Leaking cylinders can present their ow n unique hazards. Sm all leaks around valve
outlets m ay be stopped easily by tightening the fitting. M ake sure w orkers w ear
the appropriate protective equipm ent before trying to stop even the sm allest leak
of hazardous gases. N ever attem pt to repair a leak w here the valve threads into the
cylinder or the safety. For larger leaks or leaks that cannot be stopped, evacuate
area personnel w ho m ay be exposed first. Call the Air Liquide Emergency
Response number at 1-800-324-7814 and describe the nature of the problem
and gases involved. They w ill have one of our em ergency response coordinators
contact you w ith inform ation on how to safely handle the situation.
D isposal of w aste gas can present the sam e problem s as a leaking cylinder.
N orm ally, w aste gases can be vented out of the w ork area and into appropriate
disposal system s. C onsult w ith your Air Liquide R epresentative for inform ation on
proper m ethods of disposal of hazardous gases. Any unused gas that is contained
in cylinders should be returned to your supplier for disposal. Also you should
rem em ber that if certain gases are m ixed, their properties m ay change to create
additional hazards. This can happen if several different gases are vented into one
com m on exhaust system creating unanticipated problem s. Separate vent lines
m ay be necessary particularly for reactive gases. Any unused gas that is contained
in cylinders should be returned to your supplier for disposal.
In m any instances Federal, State, or
Local fire codes m ay restrict the
storage and handling of certain
gases. O ne recom m ended m ethod
of handling such gases is the use of
appropriately designed gas cabinets.
These fully enclosed units w ill hold
from one to four cylinders and m ay
have such features as exhaust
ventilation, fire suppression system s,
and alarm s. These cabinets can be
configured to be fully autom ated, or
operated m anually w ith little or no
potential exposure to personnel.
KNOW WHAT TO DO IN AN
EMERGENCY SITUATION
B efore w orking w ith flam m able,
oxidizing, or toxic gases read the
appropriate safety inform ation
contained in the M SD S or other
literature. D evelop a plan as to
appropriate actions to take in the
event of a leak or fire and m ake
certain that appropriate em ergency
equipm ent is available. If a fire should
occur, try to stop the flow from the
gas source if possible. O therw ise,
if the fire is extinguished, gas m ay
accum ulate creating an explosive
hazard. M ake sure that enclosed
spaces w here gas can build up are
w ell vented and the gas is dissipated
before entering the area.
Air Liquide urges our custom ers to include safety inform ation on com pressed and liquefied gases in their safety training pro-
gram s. Literature and other training aids are available for inclusion in your training program s. O n site safety audits by our
trained personnel can also be arranged for your convenience.
TRANSPORTATION OF CYLINDERS
Air Liquide Am erica w ill not load or know ingly sell Specialty G as cylinders to any custom er using an unsuitable delivery vehicle.
Specialty G as cylinders should never be transported in passenger vehicles. W hile certain flam m able gases like acetylene and
propane m ay be transported in open bed pickup trucks, other flam m able gases and toxic gases are not allow ed in this type of
vehicle. In all cases cylinders m ust be adequately secured so that they do not m ove about w hen transported. All vehicles m ust
be properly placarded for the gases they transport.
All custom ers w ho transport cylinders m ust read and sign our N otice to C ustom ers W ho W ish to Transport C ylindersform .
C ustom ers m ay be able to safely transport lim ited quantities of particular gasses, but the preferred m ethod of transporting
cylinders of com pressed gas is to have Air Liquide deliver and pick up the cylinders by truck or tractor-trailer w ith a
perm anently separated cab.
