Instrumentation Gas Finder

Linde offers a wide range of high purity carrier, purge and detector gases. With process applications, instrument grade gases are commonly used for analytical work. For quality control and R&D analysis, a higher quality detector gases may be appropriate.

Our instrumentation gas finder offers suggestions for the respective instruments. Please note that purity and gas specifications may differ depending on instrument manufacturer. Contact the HiQ Team if you need precise information about the gas requriements for your analyser.
