SF₆Analyzers allow users to determine whether SF₆ contaminant levels exceed the value established by equipment manufacturers and/or national standards organizations, such as Cigre, IEEE, and IEC.

Discovered in 1901 by French Chemists Henri Moissan and Paul Lebeau, SF₆ (Sulfur Hexafluoride) is a man-made gas that has a greater dielectric strength and density than air. 

A SF₆ Gas Cart is designed for the processing of Sulfur Hexafluoride used in high voltage switch gear, bus ducts, accelerators, circuit breakers and transformers that are charged during normal operation with SF₆ gas as a dielectric.

Field training to ensure proper SF₆ gas handling is essential to safeguarding your organization from unintentionally leaking SF₆ into the atmosphere. Below are some basic methods on preventing emissions during the circuit breaker maintenance process.

Proper SF₆ Gas Management is more important than ever. The same properties that make SF₆ such a great insulating gas also make SF₆ the most potent of all greenhouse gases. 

SF₆ is a man-made gas available in two types: virgin and reconditioned. Reconditioned SF₆ gas that meets IEEE standards can be used in place of virgin SF₆ gas. 

There is a large stockpile of SF₆ gas in the United States. From an environmental perspective, reconditioning gas helps us to lower the carbon footprint by removing the need to manufacture new product as the production of SF₆ is a known source of gas emissions.
