Mixture Grades and Specifications

Praxair mixtures are grouped into two
basic categories, environmental and
standard. Please refer to the table on
page D1 for complete specifications
of all available grades.
Environmental Grades have been
developed to meet the stringent require-
ments of specific environmental appli-
cations such as EPA Protocols, I&M
(Inspection and Maintenance) emission
standards, and mixtures requiring NIST
Traceability. In all cases, specifications
have been developed to meet industry
standards or, in some cases, to meet
regulatory requirements.
When EPA Protocols are not necessary,
but NIST traceability is desired, Praxair’s
master grades provide the highest degree
of accuracy and confidence for your most
demanding applications. These mixtures
are prepared gravimetrically on high-
precisions, electronic balances or with
state-of-the-art dynamic blenders.
The accuracy from these methods
generally exceed the accuracy of most
analytical instruments. Praxair produces
three grades within the Master category;
Primary, Certified, and Dynamic-Blend.
The minor component(s) are analyzed and
certified by Praxair and are traceable
to NIST reference material.
For general purposes, Praxair’s standard
grades are available as Primary and
Certified. These analyzed standards are
typically used for high volume applica-
tions where the blending precision and
accuracy of the Master grade is not
required. Standard grade mixtures are
prepared using gravimetric, volumetric,
or partial pressure methods. As in the
Master grades, the minor component(s)
are analyzed and certified. The econo-
mical Non-Certified grade is suitable for
applications that do not require
analytical certification.
If your requirements call for specifica-
tions that fall outside of those defined by
Praxair’s various grades, a custom stan-
dard will include the exact specifications
D
you need.

Analytical Instrumentation General

Instrumentation Gases
Obtaining precise, accurate results requires a combination
of sensitive analytical equipment and high purity instru-
mentation gases. Impurities can contaminate and even
damage instrumentation and compromise analytical work.

Over the years, Praxair has focused extensive resources

on research and development of instrumentation gases.
As analytical equipment and technology become more
advanced and precise, so do our instrumentation gases.
These gases are prepared specifically for use with
analytical equipment.

In addition, our technical support personnel are experienced

with the equipment and its applications, enabling them to give
you the best service possible. At Praxair, we are dedicated to
helping you select the gas product to achieve superior results,
whether in lab analysis or process control.

The instrumentation reference guide on the following pages

will assist you in the appropriate selection of gases and gas
grades for your specific instrument needs. The grade recom- E
mendations are based on the analytical range/sensitivity of 1
your instrument application. The reference guide is catego-
rized into analytical method/detectors:

■ Gas Chromatography (by detector)

■ Optical Spectrometry (absorption and emission)
■ Mass Spectrometry
■ Others

For specification and ordering information, the following

pages provide pure gas page references as well as a
complete summary of instrument mixtures.

NIST Traceable Reference EPA Protocols
Materials (NTRMs)
NIST Traceable Reference Materials (NTRM)
– Certified by the National Institute of Stan-
dards and Technology (NIST) and accepted
by the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA), as the highest accuracy standards
commercially produced. These standards are
the regulatory equivalent to NIST’s Standard
Reference Materials (SRMs) and are made
up of the same components and are within
the same analytical range.
The NIST Traceable Reference Materials
(NTRM) program, was developed in a ■ ­ Carbon Dioxide
consortium with NIST, EPA, and industry
participation. The program was intended to
increase the availability of NIST traceable
primary gas standards to industry. NTRMs
supplement the supply of existing gaseous
Standard Reference Materials (SRMs) and
can be used wherever SRMs have been
used in the past. These mixtures are similar
in composition to NIST primary and SRM
standards. However, because the concen-
tration of the certified component can be
bracketed by existing primary NIST stan-
dards, NTRM component concentrations
can fall above, below or between existing
SRM concentrations. This offers end users
additional calibration reference points for
greater accuracy and lower uncertainty
measurements.

Environmental Monitoring Zero Gases

Zero Gases for Environmental Applications

Setting New Standards of Purity
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) regulations 40 CFR Parts 50, 58, 60,
75 and 266, state that the zero grade air
or zero grade nitrogen used for Continuous
Emission Monitoring (CEM) must contain
no detectable concentration of the pollut-
ant of interest. Furthermore, the zero gas
should contain no contaminants that cause
a detectable response to the analyzer or
that suppress or enhance the analyzer’s
response. If the zero gas is not certified to
be free of critical contaminants, it could be
out of compliance.
The Purity and Reliability You Need
Praxair’s CEM Zero Air and CEM Zero
Nitrogen are developed to meet the stringent
requirements of the U.S. EPA 40 CFR Parts

Environmental Monitoring Mobile Source Emissions

Mobile Source Emissions Standards

Federal, Provincial and State vehicle emission regulations
require certification of tailpipe emissions to prescribed levels.
These regulations deal with two areas: new engine certification
and in use certification for currently owned and licensed
on-road vehicles.
High pressure precision gas mixtures, in various concentrations,
are supplied to original equipment manufacturers for new engine
certification of internal combustion engines (ICE).
These engines are used in passenger vehicles, lawn and
garden products, watercraft and recreational equipment.
A wide range of pure gases and calibration standards,
blended to the manufacturers exacting specifications,
are supplied to this market segment.
In use testing is traditionally referred to as Inspection
and Maintenance (I/M) testing. I/M automotive calibration
standards are referred to as “BAR” mixtures, and are
defined by the California Bureau of Automotive Repair.

500 Series Preset Flow Regulators

The 500 Series regulators are for use with transportable D(34A), D(58), D(76) and D(103) (34, 58,
76 and 103 liter) non-refillable cylinders. These single stage, piston style regulators are designed for
non-corrosive gas service and have proven to be satisfactory for use with low level corrosive gases
(less than 100 ppm)*. The control valve permits constant gas flow and easy on/off capability.
Each regulator comes with a cylinder pressure gauge and is available in seven preset flow ranges.
This series of regulators is for use with non-refillable cylinders using a 5/8" – 1/8 UNF C-10 valve.

* Low level corrosive gases slowly react with the “wetted” brass parts of the 500 Series regulators.
In order to minimize loss of calibration accuracy, the regulator must be removed from the cylinder
after each use. The 6000 Series regulator (page E30) is recommended for extended use with
corrosive gas calibration standards.

Laser Supply Systems
The purchase of laser cutting or welding
equipment represents a substantial
financial commitment by a metal fabri-
cator. To help maximize the return on
investment, special consideration must
be given when selecting the lasing gas-
es (He, N2 and CO2), the assist gases
(N2 and O2) and the supply system.
Essential factors to be considered include
the selection of the gas type (gas purity
and mixture accuracy), supply mode (flow
capacity, delivery pressure requirements,
etc.) and design of the gas regulation and
distribution equipment.
Praxair® LaserStar™ Gases
and Blends
For optimum laser performance Praxair’s
LaserStar™ gases are produced to meet
the stringent requirements of the laser
processing industry. Available as pure
gases or pre-blended mixtures of helium,
nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and occasional-
ly, carbon monoxide, Praxair’s LaserStar
gases are used to generate the laser
beam in a wide variety of CO2 lasers.
Products for Special Applications
Metal Fabrication
Carbon dioxide lasers must be protected
from the problems created by moisture,
hydrocarbons, and other contaminants
which can be introduced through the
gas supply system. These impurities
can reduce laser power, create unstable
operating characteristics, damage expen-
sive optics, and cause costly downtime.
With a properly designed delivery system,
the use of LaserStar™ gases helps assure
optimum laser performance, maximum
operating duty cycle, and minimum
maintenance costs.
Supply Modes
From lasing gases to assist gases,
welding and cutting operations can be
optimized when proper care is exercised
in the design and selection of the gas
supply system. Praxair offers a variety
of supply modes that will help improve
economy and productivity.

Key Applications
LCMS – High Pressure Nitrogen
This high-flow application typically warants
liquid supply source. Most commonly, cus-
tomers use high pressure portable liquid con-
tainers (see page B7) or microbulk systems
(see pages B8-B9) where available. Praxair’s
vast array of containment options allow you
to chose the best possible mode of supply
for each applicaton.
Refer to page C67 for complete specifica-
tions for cryogenic liquid nirogen.
Membrane systems producing nitrogen
on-site from a compressed air source have
become another popular option for LCMS
users. Praxair can help you select the best
mode of supply based on a number of
factors, including number of instruments,
facility location, and layout.
Refer to page F81 for complete details
and specifications for Praxair’s Membrane
Systems.
Storing Biological Samples
Freezers – Whether storing samples in
liquid or vapor phase, low pressure
(22 psig) liquid nitrogen with a boiling
point of -196 °C serves as the refrigerant
to help freezers maintain low temperatures.
Portable liquid containers, microbulk or
bulk supply are the three modes of supply
available for delivery of cryogenic nitrogen
to cryobiological equipment.
Refer to pages F92-F118 for our complete
line of cryogenic products.

Silicon-Precursor Gases
Silicon-precursor gases such as silane
and dichlorosilane are used in epitaxial
and chemical vapor deposition (CVD)
processes to deposit layers of silicon
or silicon compounds.
Dopant Gases
Dopant gases are a source of control-
lable impurities to modify local electrical
properties of the semiconductor material.
Specifically, a dopant contributes either
an electron deficiency (p dopant) or an
electron (n dopant) to the local structure
of the molecule’s crystal lattice, which in
turn alters the conductivity of the material.
For silicon, the p and n dopants are found
in Groups III and V, respectively of the
periodic table.
E Chlorosilicons
Dopants are available in liquid, solid and
46
gaseous states. The common gaseous
n dopants are arsine and phosphine,
while the common gaseous p dopant is
diborane. Dopants are used in epitaxial
deposition, diffusion and ion implantation.
A major growth area for arsine and
phosphine use is the fabrication of III-V
devices, using a vapor phase epitaxy
(VPE) or, more frequently, the metal
organic chemical vapor deposition
(MOCVD) method.

Regulators How to Select Praxair Regulators
Most specialty gases are supplied in
cylinders compressed to high pressures.
Pressure regulators reduce these high
pressures to lower pressures that can
be safely used in an operating system.
Proper regulator selection is critical for
both safety and effectiveness of operat-
ing systems.
Many variables are involved in select-
ing the proper pressure regulator. While
certainly not a comprehensive list, the
following provides some of the more im-
portant considerations. To further assist
in making proper regulator selections,
refer to Section C Pure Gases or Section
D Mixtures as applicable, of the Praxair
Specialty Gases & Equipment reference
guide for recommendations.
1 Materials Compatibility is non-adjustable and reduces in-coming
Materials used to construct regulators
must be compatible with the gas – especially
those materials (wetted parts) in contact with
the gas. We offer a wide variety of regulators
with various materials of construction to help
ensure that the correct regulator is available
for your needs. A materials compatibility
chart is located on pages H1-H3.
2 Toxicity Other criteria for consideration include
F Regulators must be designed with vent
2 connectors to permit the attachment of a
vent line or disposal system as a precaution,
in the unlikely event of a diaphragm failure.
3 Gas Purity
Like all system components, regulators
should be selected to protect the purity of
the service gas. As an example, regulators
with stainless steel diaphragms are recom-
mended for high purity applications because
they are more “diffusion-resistant” than those
with “rubber-type” diaphragms. For low
particulate applications, consideration should
be given to selecting regulators with machine
welded VCR® connections. Optional helium
leak tests also help to ensure the integrity
of regulators.
1-877-PRAXAIR www.praxair.com/specialtygases
4a Line or Cylinder Regulator 6 Inlet Pressure Rating
Cylinder regulators as their name implies
are connected directly to gas cylinders.
Typically offered in both single and two-stage
designs, cylinder regulators normally have
inlet and delivery pressure gauges.
Line regulators, on the other hand, are
used directly in piping systems such as
downstream of the manifold or bulk storage
vessel. Because inlet pressure in piping
systems is normally constant, line regulators
are typically single-stage configurations
with delivery pressure gauges only.
4b Single or Dual Stage Design
Single stage regulators reduce pressure in
one step as gas is consumed. Dual stage
regulators are actually two regulators hous-
ed in one body. The first regulator (first stage)
pressure to an intermediate setting (typically
250 to 300 psig). The second stage is adjust-
able and reduces intermediate pressure to
final desired delivery pressure. Because the
second stage sees only relatively minor inlet
pressure changes from the first stage, dual
stage regulators maintain steady delivery
pressure and do not require periodic adjust-
ment. They are well suited for applications
where constant delivery pressure is essential.
5 Output Pressure Range
Regulators must be able to reduce pressure
to levels compatible with the operating
system and consistent with process needs.
Our extensive line of pressure regulators
provides numerous choices with delivery
pressure ranges available as low as
0-0.5 psig, or as high as 0-6000 psig.
Regulators must be able to safely handle
incoming gas pressure. Here again, a
wide selection is available which includes
regulators that handle inlet pressures up
to 10,000 psig.
7 Helium Leak Integrity
Helium leak integrity is a measure of how well
a regulator prevents gases from leaking into
or out of a regulator body. The measured
quantity is expressed as a flow rate such as
1 x 10-9 scc/sec He (1 billionth of a cc/sec).
In this case, a helium leak integrity rating of
1 x 10-9 would indicate that the regulator
would leak enough gas to fill a cubic centi-
meter every 33 years. If the rating were
1 x 10-3 the regulator would leak enough gas
to fill a cubic centimeter in just 17 minutes.
Helium is used as the test gas because it is
chemically inert, it’s easy to detect and it’s
an extremely small molecule which allows
it to pass through the smallest leak. The
lower the helium leak specification, the better
the regulator will be at preventing leaks into
the atmosphere and minimizing contamina-
tion from gases outside the regulator body.
8 Other Considerations
operating temperature, flow requirements,
regulatory issues (e.g. medical regulators
manufactured to FDA standards), special
applications, design preferences and cost.
Call your local representative for further
assistance.
Note: Regulators are designed to control
pressure. Generally they are supplied with
gauges that indicate pressure. Regulators
do not measure or control flow unless
equipped with devices (such as metering
valve or flowmeter) specifically designed
for those purposes. Contact your local
sales representative to find out more about
Praxair’s new line of flow monitoring and
flow controlling devices.

In accordance with our philosophy of
flexible design, Praxair has developed
a versatile modular manufacturing
system to accommodate any indivi-
dual requirement. With all the options
Praxair offers, listing discrete part
numbers for each regulator series
would be impossible. Therefore, we
have created a part number matrix
which allows you to design a regulator
to meet the needs of your application.
Example
When using the table below to order a
4000 Series 316L stainless steel, single
stage cylinder regulator with an outlet
pressure range of 0-50 psig, a 0-4000 psig
inlet pressure gauge, a diaphragm valve
with a 1/4" tube fitting, psi/kPa pressure
gauges, and a CGA 580 connection for
nitrogen service, the part number would
be PRS40222331-580 (see page F8).

their recommended application and appropriate gas usage. You may also refer to the Pure
Gases section of the Praxair Specialty Gases & Equipment reference guide for equipment
recommendations that will help you make the proper selection (see Section C). If you are
new to selecting regulators or would like a quick refresher, review steps A through D below.
The “quick-find” reference guide on page F1 will help you identify the catalog page that con-
tains the regulator information you need. If you require additional assistance, please consult
your local Praxair sales representative or call Praxair customer service at 1-877-PRAXAIR.
A Select the desired outlet pressure range from those available in the A column.
The selection of an outlet pressure range automatically specifies the outlet pressure
gauge which appears in the adjacent column. For example, a regulator with a
0-250 psig outlet pressure range will have a 0-400 psig pressure gauge installed.
B Choose the inlet pressure gauge from those available in the B column. While the
most common cylinder pressure is between 2200 psig and 2400 psig, several gases
are stored in cylinders at other pressures.
C Indicate the outlet assembly desired from those available in the C column.
Since there are a wide variety of tubing and piping systems in use, the matrix
accommodates virtually any style of connection, eliminating the need for adapters
and reducing potential leak paths. Praxair also offers a choice of valve options for
gas flow control.
D Select an assembly option from those available in the D column. A bare body
regulator is shipped without peripherals, with all ports open and unplugged.
A standard regulator comes completely assembled with all selected peripherals,
ready for use.

System for Non-Corrosive and Corrosive Service

High Flow/High Purity Automatic

Changeover System
The 5031B (Brass) and 5031S (316 Stainless Steel) Series high flow/
high purity automatic changeover systems are designed to provide
continuous supply of high purity gases to the laboratory, process or
instrument. The Series 5031 incorporates two regulators set at different
delivery pressures. Down stream line regulators are recommended to
help eliminate supply pressure effects.
Basic Functional Description
When primary supply to the changeover (primary) is consumed, the
secondary supply (reserve) feeds the downstream process. By turning
the regulator handknob clockwise, the primary supply can then be
replenished. When the reserve is depleted the primary will then begin
to feed the process. With a counter clockwise turn of the changeover
regulator handknob, the reserve side can than be replenished.
Typically the 5031B/5031S Series are used with one cylinder per side.
To connect more than one cylinder per side, please order manifold
headers separately (see page F49). The standard models come with
flexible, all stainless steel (Monel® lined for oxygen service) pigtails with
armor casing. The CGA connection on each pigtail has a check valve in

System Changeover System

ProStar™ Platinum Series 8000 Automatic Dewar

and High Pressure Cylinder Changeover System
The Series 8000 Automatic Changeover System is designed to provide
an uninterrupted flow of gas from two sources. When one source is in
service providing the gas to process; the other source is on standby,
and comes on-line when the current source has depleted. The change-
over to the standby source occurs automatically. Once the changeover
has occurred, a gas technician replaces the depleted source, turns the
changeover regulator hand knob to the next standby source.
The Series 8000 system includes a line regulator to allow adjustment of
the final delivery pressure to the process. Also included are 6' stainless
steel armor-jacketed flexible pigtails, with CGA check valves, cylinder
isolation and vent valves. This configuration gives the operator the
capability to isolate a source from the changeover panel, allowing
replacement of the source without having to shut down the system.

Automatic Dewar Changeover System
The Series 9000 Automatic Dewar Changeover System is designed
to provide an uninterrupted flow of gas from two sources. When one
source is in service providing the gas to process; the other source is
on standby, and comes on-line when the current source has depleted.
The changeover to the standby source occurs automatically. Once
the changeover has occurred, a gas technician replaces the depleted
source, turns the changeover regulator hand knob to the next standby
source. The Series 9000 system employs a unique Tri-Block design,
which incorporates dual back pressure regulators and a line regulator.
This Tri-Block assembly functions as an economizer circuit, to prevent
venting of the reserve source.
The Series 9000 system includes a line regulator to allow adjustment of
the final delivery pressure to the process. Also included are 6' stainless
steel armor-jacketed flexible pigtails, with CGA check valves, cylinder
isolation and vent valves. This configuration gives the operator the
capability to isolate a source from the changeover panel, allowing
replacement of the source without having to shut down the system.

■ 6' Stainless steel pigtails ■ Check Valves

 Gas Handling Equipment
Flow Meters Overview
A variable area flowmeter (Figure 1) is a device used for measuring the
flow of gases or gas mixtures. Typically, it consists of a glass metering
tube (1A) which is internally tapered such that the inside diameter at
the bottom of the tube is smaller than at the top. A float or floats (1B)
placed inside the tube is/are contained by float stops (1C) inserted
into the inlet and outlet of the tube. The metering tube assembly (1),
consisting of the glass metering tube, float(s), float stops and tube seat
packing (1D), is fitted between the inlet end block (5) and outlet end
block (6) and sealed by the tube seat packing. The flowmeter is held
together by a window shield (13), a back shield (14) and side plates
(15). Once assembled, the metering tube is tightened against the tube
seat packing via the seal spindle (2) to ensure leak-free operation.
Flowmeters may also be equipped with a metering valve (12) which
adds the capability of controlling flow rate.
As gas enters the flowmeter tube, the float is lifted from the zero
position at the bottom of the tube. The float (Figure 2) rises to a point
where the area surrounding the float is sufficient to allow unrestricted
flow of gas. The greater the flow of gas, the higher the float will rise.
By knowing the variables involved (service gas, pressure, temperature,
weight of float, tube diameter, etc.), the height of the float can
be directly correlated to the flow of gas with relatively good accuracy.
Generally, the tube is inscribed with a scale allowing the user to read
the float position. The scale may be direct reading in flow units such as
standard liters per minute (slpm) or standard cubic feet per hour (scfh).
It may also be in a linear measurement such as millimeters (mm) which
would require a calibration chart for cross referencing
the linear measurement to a corresponding flowrate.
The accuracy of a variable area flowmeter is contingent on both its
F operating pressure and temperature. Gases at higher pressures
will be compressed, and therefore a greater volume of gas will pass
60 through the same given area. Similarly, gases at higher temperatures
will be less dense, and less gas will pass through a given area.

Therefore, all variable area flowmeters are calibrated at specific
temperature and pressure conditions – generally at normal
temperature (70 oF) and pressure (14.7 psia).
In selecting a flowmeter, the following items should be taken
into consideration:
1. Materials Compatibility: As with all gas handling equipment,
care must be taken to ensure that the materials used to construct the
flow-meter are compatible with the service gas. Each of the flowmeters
shown in this catalog is provided with a list of its materials of construction.
2. Pressure and Temperature Ratings: The flowmeter must be
capable of handling pressures and temperatures required by the
particular application. Maximum operating pressures and temperatures
are provided for each flowmeter under “Specifications.”
3. Measuring Range: Flowmeters have specific measuring ranges as-
sociated with them. These ranges will vary depending on the flowmeter
model as well as the tube and float combination selected. Obviously,
the specific flowmeter chosen must be capable of measuring in the
flow range required by the process. In general, for the best accuracy, it
is suggested that the flometer be sized for operation in the upper part
of its range.
4. Accuracy: The flowmeter should be accurate to the degree re-
quired by the application. Accuracy specifications are listed for each
of our flowmeters. Generally, this will be ± 5% or ± 10% of full scale.
on the flowmeter’s maximum capacity. For example, a meter with
a measuring range of 1-10 slpm and an accuracy specification of
± 10% will have an actual accuracy of ± 1 slpm across its entire
range – that is, ± 10% of the maximum capacity of 10 slpm.
5. Repeatability: In many gas processes, the ability to duplicate
flow measurements over time is more important than the absolute
accuracy of the readings. The repeatability specification shown for
each flowmeter refers to the degree to which a meter will repeat a
previous flow reading. In general, variable area flowmeters have very
good repeatability, many as high as ± 0.25% of full scale.
6. Metering Valves: Flowmeters only measure flow.
If adjustments to flow rates are required, a flowmeter
equipped with a metering valve should be selected.

Flow Devices Mass Flowmeters/Controllers/Blending

Mass Flow Measuring, Controlling and Blending Systems

Using state-of-the-art measuring and microprocessor technologies, Praxair has assembled
a series of systems which can measure the mass flow rate of gas streams; measure and
control mass flow rate; or perform gas blending operations – all with extremely high accuracy.
These systems consist of an Operator Console that is electronically coupled to one or more
Mass Flow Sensors and/or Mass Flow Control Modules.

Mass Flow Sensors
Mass Flow Sensors measure gas flow with
a (+/-1% full scale accuracy, 1.5% full scale
accuracy above 500 slpm). Since they do
not control gas flow, Mass Flow Sensors
are only used in applications requiring flow
measurement. Capable of working with any
of our Operator Consoles, Mass Flow Sen-
sors are available for measuring flow rates
in ranges as low as 0.1-5 sccm to ranges
as high as 20-1000 slpm. For complete
specifications on flow sensors, see pages
F69 and F70.
Mass Flow Control Modules
Mass Flow Control Modules measure flow
using the same principles as our Mass Flow
Sensors. However, they also feature an
integral electromagnetic control valve that
gives them the ability to control gas flow with
a (+/- 1% full scale accuracy, 1.5% full scale
F
accuracy above 500 slpm). Based on this
68 control capability, they can also be used to
perform gas blending operations.
Available in two different models, all Mass
Flow Control Modules are capable of work-
ing with either our CM2 or CM4 Operator
Consoles.
1. Model FRC, Fast Response Control One cable is provided with each Sensor or
Modules, are offered in ranges from
0.1-5 sccm through 20-1000 slpm.
2. Model HPC, High Pressure Control remotely located away from the sensors
Modules, can operate at inlet pressures and control modules. This enhances the
as high as 3000 psig. They are available operator’s safety – especially when working
for flow ranges from 2-100 sccm up to
0.4-20 slpm.
For complete specifications on Control
Modules, see pages F71.
Operator Consoles
Praxair Instrument Interface Modules
Models CM2 and CM4 are designed for use
with all Praxair Instrument Series 100 and
200 Mass Flowmeters (MFM’s) and Mass
Flow Controllers (MFC’s).
Model CM2 employs two channels which
accept flow signal inputs and provides set-
point control for each channel. Model CM4
includes four input channels and likewise has
a setpoint control for each channel. Process
flow rates for all channels are displayed on
a large, bright, red digital panel meter as a
percentage of full scale (F.S.). The range of
this meter is from 000.0 to 102.4 percent.
Setpoints for any channel may also be
displayed on the panel meter in the same
percentage of full scale flow units. Setpoints
are adjustable to any value in the previously
stated range using the 10-turn adjustment
controls.
Control action occurs when the process flow
value in a given channel matches its respec-
tive setpoint. Both instruments also feature
Automatic Proportional Tracking (APT) Mode
operation. APT operation permits setting the
flow rate control in one or more channels to
be a fixed ratio of the flow rate control in a
reference channel, regardless of the process
flow rate in that reference channel.”
Interconnecting Cables
Interconnecting cables are used in all sys-
tems for coupling the Flow Sensors and
Control Modules to the operator console.
Control Module purchased. With these 10
foot cables, the Operator Console can be
with toxic or otherwise hazardous gases.
Materials of Construction
All wetted parts of these systems (parts in
contact with the gas) are of stainless steel
construction with Viton® used as a sealing
material. Other seal materials (Buna-N®,
EPDM, Neoprene or Kalrez®) are available
on special order, allowing these systems to
be used in nearly any gas service.
Selecting Mass Flow Measuring
and Control Systems
1. Review the Operator Console features
on page F71 and select the console that
meets your requirements.
2. Review the specifications on page F73
and determine the type of flow control
or sensing devices required for your
operation. Then select the appropriate
model number. Note: As previously
discussed, Mass Flow Control Modules
are used where both measurement and
control are desired, or for gas blending
applications. Mass Flow Sensors are
used in applications requiring flow
measurement only.
3. Review the applicable selection guide on
page F73 and choose the flow range(s)
required for your operation.
Selecting Gas Blending Systems
1. Review the Operator Console features
on page F71 and select the console for
your needs. As shown in Table 1, the
choices for blending applications are
limited to models CM2 and CM4.
2. Select the appropriate range for each
Mass Flow Control Module. This can be
done by determining the total mixture
flow required and multiplying this by the
percentage composition that each com-
ponent represents in the mixture. Then
compare this to the flow ranges available
on page F73.
3. Review the specifications on page F73
and select the model number of the
desired control module.
Note: In blending systems, the outlets of
flow control modules must be manifolded
together to create the blend. Therefore
to prevent the possibility of back-flow
from one module to another, it is strongly
recommended that you select proper check
valves and install them at the outlet of each
module. See page F123 for check valves.

free-standing units with integral compressor and modular,
site-built units.
Systems that include a Praxair-supplied compressor feature a
unique compressor control system that precisely matches the
compressor’s performance to the actual air demand, optimizing
energy efficiency and reducing operating cost. These systems
also include a Condensate Management Filter (CMF) system
that separates oil from water sufficiently enough to allow normal
disposal of the water without special treatment. CMF is optional
in Series 11 and 13.
Note: Flows and purities listed on the following charts are based
on input air pressures shown. Increasing air pressure increases flow
or purity. When nitrogen purity requirements are lower than 99.5%,
flow can be increased over that shown in the charts that follow, by

Purifiers/Filters Thermal Gas Purifiers and Gas Filters

Introducing Restek’s line of re-engineered thermal gas purifiers

This line of purifiers works by producing a chemical reaction between impurities in
the carrier gas stream and the getter material. Because the reaction is non-reversible,
there is no possibility of contaminants breaking through the thermal gas purifier.
Gas purification is very economical when using a thermal gas purifier. After initial
installation cost, getter tubes only require changing once every year; heavy use
and very impure feed gas may require more frequent getter tube replacement.

Features and Benefits

■ Removes oxygen, water, carbon mon- ■ Welded end-fittings on getter tubes

Gas Specific Purifier and

Purifiers/Filters
Containment Trap Purifiers

Gas specific purifier modules are designed to be placed in-line with

the Gas Chromatograph (GC) carrier gas supply or the GC detector
gas supply. There are three groups of contaminants that impact gas
chromatography: moisture, hydrocarbons and oxygen. The Gas
Specific Purifiers remove the three contaminant groups from analytical
gases prior to entering the GC. Proprietary absorptive materials
capture and retain contaminants for the operating life of the purifier.
The new gas specific purifier modules offer dramatic reductions in most
contaminant levels (from many parts per million to levels that are below
the lower limit of analytical detection) and absorb a larger number and
variety of contaminants than other competitive products. The perfor-
mance is optimized by incorporating a multiple bed form so that each
successive bed functions at a lower contaminant concentration. The Inlet gas containing oxygen, High purity
result is a series of contaminant concentration gradients across the moisture and hydrocarbons outlet gas
length of the purifier module. When these advanced materials and
design features are combined with a known gas contaminant con-
centration, the following performance should be achieved.
Gas purifiers are designed to help insure the purity of your analytical
gases at the point of use. Even though you may be purchasing ultra-
high purity gases, your delivery system may be compromising the level
of gas purity you require. The best way to make sure your instruments

Glass Encased, Indicating Oxygen Traps

Models SG6150 and SG6151 Indicating Oxygen Traps are normally
recommended for use downstream of non-indicating oxygen traps
(where application flow rates permit) to provide a visual indication of
oxygen breakthrough. Breakthrough is indicated via a color change in
the adsorbent from gray to a deep brown. Because of their relatively
small capacity, Indicating Oxygen Traps should be used by themselves
only in low volume applications.
These traps consist of a silanized borosilicate glass tube filled with a SG6150 Trap
molecular sieve base and activated getter material. Oxygen and a wide with MC-2 Optional
range of oxides react with the getter material to form a manganese Mounting Clip
oxide. The glass tube is enclosed in a clear plastic outer shell to provide
protection from glass breakage while still allowing for a visual indication
of the trap’s condition.

Purifiers/Filters Molecular Sieves

Molecular sieves are synthetically produced crystalline metal alumino Molecular sieves are
silicates that have been activated for adsorption by removing their available in a variety of
water of hydration. Unlike other adsorbents, molecular sieves have a package sizes from
precise uniform size and molecular dimension. According to the size 1/2 lb up to 50 lb
of these pores, molecules may be readily adsorbed, slowly adsorbed
or completely excluded. This sieve-like selectivity, based on molecular
size, plus a selectable preference for polar or polorizable molecules,
gives molecular sieves an extremely high level of adsorption efficiency,
and permits close tailoring of the adsorbent to the specific use. Pore
sizes vary by the type of molecular sieve; for example, Type 4A has a
uniform pore size of 4 angstroms. Molecular sieves are available in a
variety of forms which include powder, pellets, mesh and beads:
Powders are white finely divided free-flowing particles with an
average diameter of 4-5 microns.
Pellets are cylindrically formed products whose diameters are
controlled (1/16" or 1/8" as specified). Table 1 – Common Screen Sizes and Openings

Cooling and freezing of biological
materials is a complex process. This is
due to the chemical and physiological
process that takes place when mate-
rial is cooled. Proper maintenance and
handling of biological materials is critical
to ensure their continued stability at low
temperatures. Since biological materials
vary, an important aspect of setting up
and operating an effective bio-repository
is an understanding of the materials to
be maintained. While biological materi-
als can be preserved by several means,
low-temperature storage is the only
preservation method that minimizes
changes in the material. Cryopreser-
vation has been used for decades to
ensure the maintenance of living cells
and organisms.
Shrink
Fit Nose
Gas Handling Equipment
Cryogenic Products
Once biological materials are properly
cryo-preserved, there is virtually no risk
of change if they are properly maintained.
Proper maintenance requires assuring a
constant critical temperature.
From a good practice point of view, safety
margins and modes of failure are also im-
portant and very worthy of consideration.
Safety margins and critical temperatures are
vital considerations. Initially it is important to
realize that once a substance is in the solid
phase (i.e., frozen); there is no such thing,
in terms of cryobiology, as too cold. There is
no state below solid; further cooling simply
reduces the energy for every degree it is
cooled, otherwise it may cause structural
changes. Secondly, it is vital to appreciate
that the critical temperature for long term
viability of the sample will be, in many cases,
a temperature far below the nominal fusion
temperature. In other words, keeping the
sample frozen simply is not sufficient.
All biological materials deteriorate over time
– this is an unavoidable physical phenom-
enon. When the need to study and/or store
biological materials arises, a long-term
reliable storage solution is needed; cryo-
preservation is the answer. When exploring
cryopreservation as a storage solution, many
factors must be considered, including, but
not limited to: Critical Temperature, Storage
Phase, and Capacity. MVE offers a complete
line of storage solutions in liquid or vapor,
with temperatures ranging from -125°C to
-190°C.
Understanding the materials to be stored is
vital to determining the critical temperature.

Cryopreservation Overview
Most biological materials must be stored
below the Glass Transition of Water (Tg)
before long term degradation is minimized.
The value of Tg is most commonly agreed to
be between -130 °C and -135 °C. Storage
above this temperature will result in poor
long term viability of samples. Storage con-
ditions that transition above and below this
value will accelerate degradation of samples.
Knowing this, one can make the conclusion
that colder is better. All MVE freezers are
created to maintain the coldest and most
consistent temperature in their designed
operating ranges. Many models can main-
tain near liquid nitrogen temperature in the
warmest part of the freezer, minimizing
transient temperature conditions.
Determining the phase of storage is nearly
as critical as determining the proper storage
temperature. Storing in liquid phase provides
the longest possible hold time and coldest
possible temperature. Vapor storage mini-
mizes the possibility of cross contamination
and exposure of samples to liquid nitrogen.
MVE provides a complete line of freezers
that can meet any storage solution in liquid
or vapor.
Selecting the proper size freezer is important
to ensuring the long term efficiency and cost F
effectiveness of the repository. MVE offers
the widest, most complete product line in 93
the world and can meet the needs of the
small research laboratory as well as the
largest long term repository. Praxair can help
you select a freezer that is large enough to
meet your current needs and provide room
for growth.

MVE High Efficiency/Vapor Series 150 and 190

There is a critical temperature for most biological samples that
are cryopreserved. This critical temperature is known as the Glass
Transition Temperature (Tg) of water, which is widely accepted as
being in the order of -130° to -135 °C. The long-term viability of
frozen samples can be seriously compromised if stored above this
temperature range. Further, if they experience several transitions
through this range in either thermal direction, additional deterioration
may occur. It is important that the LN2 freezer maintain a lower
temperature, even during filling and sample retrieval cycles. This is
much more likely to be achieved if the freezer maintains a temperature
of -190 °C than if the system is at or near the critical temperature at
normal equilibrium. Chart-MVE’s approach to this problem was to
improve the fundamental design of freezers used in vapor phase and
to design and build a nitrogen vapor freezer which ensures stability
at -190 °C.

MVE Vapor Shippers

MVE Vapor Shippers are designed for the safe transportation of
biological samples at cryogenic (-150 °C or colder) temperatures.
Manufactured from durable, lightweight aluminum, they employ a
hydrophobic compound which absorbs the liquid nitrogen to ensure
spill-free shipping. Because the absorbent is hydrophobic, it also
repels moisture and humidity, assuring maximum holding time and
eliminating the necessity to dry units between uses.
A protective shipping carton is available for all models (except the
SC 20/12V). This carton protects the container from being placed
on its side and helps withstand the rigors of transportation. These
containers may be used to ship your samples with a “non-hazardous”
classification throughout the world, thus reducing costs and helping
to assure sample viability.

Cryogenic Products Liquid Nitrogen Low Level Alarms

Model 626
This unique controller has been designed to provide a complete
working alarm system. This alarm provides protection during
the time the probe is unplugged, or removed from the dewar.
When the probe is removed from the dewar during a work
function, simply press the work button. This will keep the alarm
in a momentary standby mode (approximately 10 minutes). If the
probe is not returned after 10 minutes, the alarm will slowly return
to its full audible horn and activate the remote relay.
The Progressive Audible Horn allows the operator to remove the
probe from the dewar without the unit going into an audible and
a remote relay alarm. Pressing the Work/Mute button will lower
the horn sound (which has been factory set). After 10 minutes
the horn will gradually increase to maximum volume. This will alert Model 626 LN²

The 533 Series diaphragm valves are ideal for use as the primary 533 Series
flow control in high purity or corrosive gas systems. Springless Diaphragm
design and low wetted surface area combine to minimize particle Valve
generation and the completely swept path minimizes entrapment.
The unique design of the 533 Series allows low torque operation
with gas flow in either direction. Flow control is accomplished with
the multi-turn model while the 1/4 turn model is quick acting and

Accessories Excess Flow Shut-off Valves

Diffusion-Resistant, Diaphragm Seal,

Excess Flow Shut-off Valves (FS Series)
FS Series Excess Flow Shut-Off Valves are designed to automatically shut-off the delivery of gas
in a line if the flow exceeds a preset limit. They are commonly used as a safety device to protect
a system from excess flow in the event of equipment failure or to protect personnel and property
in the event of a line rupture. The capability of operating from 10 to 3500 psi allows them to be FS Series
used either in high or low pressure applications. Valve

The Excess Flow Limit Valve is a 2-position valve. In the “Open (Reset)” position, the valve
provides a direct passage from inlet to outlet. In the other position, “Auto Shut-Off”, the valve is
set to sense the flow and automatically shuts off the passage if the flow exceeds a preset value
(flow limit). The valve will stay shut-off until it has been reset.
Six flow ranges are offered and the actual flow shut-off value for each range is dependent upon
the operating pressure. The graph below indicates, for each range, the relationship between
operating pressure and the actual flow limit. It is suggested that the range selected provide
shut-off at 2-6 times the anticipated flow rate to allow for short term flow surges not connected
with equipment failure.
Note: Piping systems, cylinders and other equipment can contribute rust or other
particulate contamination that could cause the device to fail. Therefore it is highly
recommended that all gases be filtered before they enter the FS Series Valve.

CV5600 Series Check Valves

Check valves ensure that gases or liquids flow in one direction only. When used
on the outlet line of pressure regulators, they prevent back flow of fluids into the
regulator. When used in cylinder pigtails, they prevent gas flow from one cylinder
into another on the same manifold. They also stop air from entering the pigtail
and manifold when a cylinder is removed.
These check valves are bubble-tight against any back pressure.
Note: Check valves are also available housed within a CGA

Relief valves are commonly used downstream of pressure regulators to protect
the regulator, delivery pressure gauge and downstream system from damage
due to overpressurization caused by a regulator failure. When properly installed
they may be used with hazardous gases because they have 1⁄4" NPT outlets
which permits vented gas to be piped to a safe disposal system.

is designated by a three digit code (CGA Connection Number) as set forth in
Compressed Gas Association publication V-1. Cylinder connections consist of a
CGA nut and CGA nipple and in some cases require a washer for sealing purposes.
Praxair offers cylinder connections in a variety of configurations and materials.
One configuration, available in either brass or type 316 stainless steel, features a
check valve housed within the CGA nipple. This configuration restricts flow to only
one direction, and prevents “backflow” from the process to the cylinder.

Accessories Flash Arrestor

Series 8491 Flash Arrestor

The new 8491 Series re-settable flashback arrestors offer four (4)
safety devices in each unit. Safety features include protection against
flashbacks with a wide range of mixtures of oxygen or air with
flammable gases including hydrogen, acetylene, methane, and LPG
gases. The design includes a built-in non-return (check) valve to
stop reverse flow and a thermal shut off which stops gas flow in the
event a of hose or pipe line fire. An easily re-settable pressure control
stops gas flow in the event of reverse flow or a flashback that creates
10 psig back pressure. This feature alerts the user that a reverse flow
or a flashback of greater than 10 psig has occured. These units are
easily reset by pulling up on the pressure control ring (shown at right),
no disassembly of the gas line or special tools are needed. The 8491
Series high flow capacity makes them suitable for a broad range of
applications (see flow table). Units are U/L listed.

M19000 Moisture Indicator

SFC/SFE – Start-Up Kit

The carbon dioxide SFC/SFE start-up kit
developed by Praxair is designed to eliminate
the chance of contaminating the carbon
dioxide about to be used. The system was
kept very simple to eliminate the chances for
contamination. Special attention was given
to the components that come in contact with
carbon dioxide. Elastomers and polymers
have been eliminated which could degrade
or out gas deleterious components. To
further ensure the system integrity, the kit
is cleaned with super critical fluid carbon
dioxide. This delivery system is designed for
use in situations where the carbon dioxide
cylinder is within eight (8) feet of the instru-
ment. For applications in which the cylinder
is further away, please consult your Praxair
representative for custom delivery systems.

The Model MI9000 indicator is used to
indicate the downstream presence of mois-
ture in a gas line from the exhaustion of the
molecular sieve material in the Model 8000
and 8010 purifiers.

The indicator is constructed of brass and

has a sealed glass window. The unit is
furnished with indicating silica gel, which
gradually changes color from blue (at rela-
tive humidities less than 4%) to pink/white
(at relative humidities higher than 40%).
At this point the silica gel has absorbed the
maximum amount of water. The replaceable
indicator plug is easily removed and replac-
ed with the indicator body still in line.

Gas Detection Equipment
In many industrial applications, hazards
can have several origins, e.g., the release
of toxic gases, oxygen deficiency or enrich-
ment, as well as the presence of combust-
ible gases and vapors. When detected at
an early stage, countermeasures can be
initiated to protect personnel, workplaces
and equipment.
Praxair, working together with Draeger,
provides a full range of fixed and portable
monitoring and warning systems, for short-
and long-term measurements, both for
area and personal monitoring.
Portable Detection Systems
Draeger offers a wide range of portable gas
detection systems, from single to multiple
gas detectors, using electrochemical cata-
lytic bead and infrared detectors. Draeger’s
X-am 2000, X-am 5000 and Pac 7000
monitors are the most popular. See pages

Draeger® PointGard® ll Single Point Gas Detection Monitor

The Draeger® PointGard® ll is a microprocessor-based stand-alone gas detector for
continuous monitoring of toxic gases and oxygen in ambient air. Gas concentration is
displayed using bright LEDs, while the horn and two strobes provide alarm annunciation
where it is needed most: at the point of the hazard.
The heart of the Draeger® PointGard® ll is the electrochemical DrägerSensor®, the latest
development in gas sensing technology. The DrägerSensor® is designed for accuracy,
stability, and long life. Temperature compensation has been optimized and cross sensitivity
to other gases minimized, ensuring an accurate reading of the target gas concentration.
Installation is easy: just mount the unit on a wall, install the sensor, and plug the line cord
into a 110 or 220 VAC outlet. Sensors are pre-calibrated before shipment, so calibration
is not necessary at start-up. The simple menu guided user interface can be accessed
through 3 buttons on the front panel of the instrument.

The world has counted on DrägerTubes®
more than any other gas and vapor mea-
surement device to tell them when the air provides statistically better accuracy. Once

hazard, or to check on process gases. DrägerTubes® and well spaced graduation
For more than 60 years, Draeger has been
the leader in detector tube technology with
more accurate measurements, a wider
range of gases and vapors measured, more
designs of tubes and more accessories to
meet specific gas and vapor measurement
applications.
Though many DrägerTubes® require more
than one pump stroke, the sampling time is
usually faster than the advertised one-stroke
tubes. Not only do you get the benefit of
quicker analysis, the larger sample volume
the sample is taken, the larger diameter
marks enable distinct and decisive measure-

The cornerstone of the DrägerTubes® system
is the accuro® pump. It draws a calibrated
100 ml sample of air through the Dräger-
Tubes® with each stroke. The one-handed
operation is simple and allows you to reach
places that a piston pump can not go. A
built-in stroke counter tells you exactly how
many strokes have been taken. The visual
end-of-stroke indicator definitely identifies
the conclusion of a pump stroke.

Gas Detection Systems Universal Leak Detector

The Series 755 is considered a universal

leak detector specially engineered to
perform superbly in both portable and
benchtop applications. It is designed to
both locate and measure a wide variety
of gas leaks precisely and cleanly.

Gas Detected
The Series 755 will detect any gas that
has a thermal conductivity that differs from
that of the ambient air to which it is zeroed.
Since the unit is zeroed in ambient air
(which is comprised mostly of nitrogen
and oxygen), the series 755 will not be
very sensitive to leaks of these gases.

General Safety Information

Material Safety Data Sheets
A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) is a
fact sheet that lists the characteristics and
hazards of a specific hazardous indutrial
material. MSDSs tell how to handle, store,
and ship the material safely and in acord-
ance with regulations. They also give emer-
gency and first aid procedures for dealing
with injuries, fires, leaks, spills, and other
incidents involving the material. Praxair
MSDSs also provide additional information
such as ratings under various hazard iden-
tification systems, listing by certain states,
and valve connection data.
Under the OSHA Hazard Communication
Standard, manufacturers of hazardous
materials must prepare and make available
an MSDS for each hazardous material sold.
In addition, those purchasing these materials
must maintain a file of MSDSs in the work
place so they are available to their
employees.
Precautionary information on the safe
handling of gases listed in this catalog is
provided on Material Safety Data Sheets
(MSDS), which are issued to customers
for each product sold.
We strongly urge you to read and thoroughly
understand the information contained in the
applicable MSDS before using any of the
gases in this catalog.
Copies of MSDS’s can be obtained thru
your Sales Representative, by calling Praxair
at 1-800-PRAXAIR or visiting our website at
www.praxair.com/msds.

Chemmate® Gas Mixture MSDS Program

Praxair customers are the first in North America to be able to find what they
need to know about their customized, multi-component gas mixtures on a
single, stand-alone MSDS document. This new, value-added service offers a
big safety advantage for customers. Generated by the new Chemmate® gas
mixture MSDS program, data from each component of the gas mixture is
distilled and combined into a government-approved, standardized, 16-part
form (ANSI Z400) for that mixture.
To date, Praxair has created more than 700 custom MSDSs that cover over
500,000 mixtures available from Praxair. MSDSs for mixtures can be generated
upon request. Contact your Praxair representative for more information.

 Safety
General Safety Information
Moving Cylinders and Containers
Cylinders and containers must always be
moved carefully. Mishandling that results in
a damaged valve or ruptured cylinder can
expose personnel to the hazards associat-
ed with these gases. In addition, most gas
cylinders are heavy and bulky. A cylinder
striking someone or pinching a finger, toe,
or other extremity is a common cause of
injury. For these reasons, all cylinder han-
dlers must always wear certain minimum
personal protective equipment prescribed
by OSHA:
■ Gloves to protect the hands against
common pinching injuries.
■ Safety glasses to protect the eyes
against injuries associated with
pressure release.
■ Safety shoes with metatarsal
supports to protect against foot
injuries from falling cylinders.
Storing Cylinders and Containers
Storage of compressed gas cylinders and
cryogenic liquid containers is governed
by codes of the National Fire Protection
G Safety Apparatus
Association (NFPA). Local codes may also
2 apply. Know and obey codes governing
storage at your location.
Safe Practices
In general, store cylinders so they can’t be
easily toppled over. Remember, danger
exists not only from accidental release of
gas by cylinders damaged in a fall but also
from their striking someone and causing
injury. Store cylinders upright in compact
groups, interlocking them so that each
cylinder physically contacts those around
it. Do not stand cylinders loosely or in a
haphazard manner.

create a domino effect causing other
F145-149 for Praxair
cylinders to fall. Single cylinders should be
secured in place or on a cylinder cart so
they can’t be readily knocked over.
Keep stored cylinders out of high traffic
areas. Do not store them near the edges
of platforms. Avoid storage in areas where
there are activities that could damage or
contaminate the cylinders. Electric arc
welding can destroy the integrity of cylin-
der metal if a welder carelessly strikes an
arc on a cylinder. Overhead hoists can drip
oil or grease on cylinders, contaminating
them. Never store cylinders with flam-
mable materials.
Refer to Section F for our full line of safety
apparatus (pages F145-F149) and gas
detection systems (pages F133-F144).

Opening and Closing Valves
Observing a few simple rules when
opening and closing valves can prevent
damage to valves and equipment and add
years of useful service life to the valves.
The proper way to open any cylinder
valve is to first crack the valve, then open
it slowly by turning the handle or stem
counterclockwise. This allows equipment
to gradually adjust to full pressure. Stop
turning as soon as there is any resistance.
Turning the valve handle or stem too far in
the open position can jam the stem caus-
ing damage and leaks and preventing
later closure.
Safety
General Safety Information
Likewise, overtightening when closing
a valve can damage or permanently
distort the seat and result in leakage.
Typical closing torques are as follows:
Packed Stem Valve 30 to 40 ft-lb
Diaphragm Seal Valve 85 to 96 in-lb
Pressure Seal Valve 60 to 85 in-lb
Pin-Indexed Valve 20 to 25 in-lb
Caution: Never open a cylinder
valve that is not connected to a
pressure regulating device.

Gas Compatibility
The compatibility data shown on pages
2 and 3 of this section have been com-
piled to assist in evaluating appropriate
materials for use in handling various
gases. It is extremely important that all
gas control equipment be compatible
with the gas being used. The use of a
device that is not compatible may dam-
age the unit and cause a leak that could
result in property damage or personal
injury. To reduce potentially dangerous
situations, always check for the com-
patibility of materials before using any
gases in your gas control equipment.
Since combinations of gases are virtually
unlimited, mixtures (except for Oxyfume®
and Medifume™ sterilizing gas mixtures)
are not listed in the Compatibility Chart.
Before using a gas mixture or any gas
not listed in the chart, we strongly urge
you to contact Praxair for information.
Important
This information is for experienced opera-
tors who know the general principles and
the safety precautions to be observed in
handling specialty gases and associated
equipment. If you are not certain you fully
understand these safety precautions, we
urge you to obtain and read the applicable
Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and
Equipment Instruction Booklet.

minimum boiling point as compared with that
16 of other mixtures of the same substances.
Back Pressure Regulator – A pressure regulator
which controls upstream (inlet) pressure. Similar in
function to a relief valve.
Balanced Poppet (Balanced Valve; Balanced
Stem) – A valve which has been designed to be
pressure balanced; hence the valve spring provides
the shutoff force. Used essentially to reduce or
minimize decaying inlet pressure effect.
Boiling Point – The temperature at which the

British Thermal Unit (BTU) – The quantity of heat
required to raise the temperature of one pound of
water one degree F at or near its point of maximum
density (39.1°F).
Bursting Disk (Frangible Disk) –
A metal disk which is part of a safety device,
and which is intended to burst and allow gas to
escape within predetermined pressure limits to
prevent rupture of the device it is installed on.
Similar in function to a safety relief valve, except
it has no reseal capability.
Burst Pressure – A design test pressure which
allows for permanent deformation and leakage, but
parts must remain assembled (i.e., no sudden rup-
tures). Normal industry standard is 4 times (400%)
of maximum oper-ating pressure.
See also “Proof Pressure” and “Maximum
Operating Pressure.”
Calibration – Comparison of a measurement
standard or instrument with another standard or
instrument to report or eliminate by adjustment
any variation (deviation) in the accuracy of the
item being compared.
Calibration Gas – A gas or gas mixture
of accurately known composition used as
a comparative standard in analytical
instrumentation.
Calorie – The amount of heat required to
raise the temperature of one gram of water
one degree Celsius.
Carrier Gas – Gas used with a gas chromatogra-
phy to carry the sample through the system.
Catalyst – A substance that initiates a chemical
reaction and allows it to proceed under different
conditions than otherwise possible.
CGA Number – Cylinder/container valve outlet
connection number assigned by the Compressed
Gas Association. CGA numbers are detailed in
CGA Standard V-1.
Chemical Abstract Services (CAS) –
CAS numbers represent chemical substances
recorded in the CAS Chemical Registry System.
This numbering system identifies chemical sub-
stances by an unambiguous computer language
description of its molecular structure, including all
stereo-chemical detail. The CAS number, which
has no chemical significance, is simply a number
assigned in sequential order to each substance
as it enters the Registry System. All specific
substances reported in the worldís scientific
and technical literature and indexed in Chemical
Abstracts, (CA) since 1965 (when the Registry
System began) are included in this master file.
Chemiluminescence – A species which
chemically absorbs and emits light (usually
at low temperatures).
Chromatogram – The record produced by the
gas liquid chromatograph. It is also a measure of
instrument performance.
Coefficient of Flow (Cv) – Defined as the
actual flow performance in U.S. gallons of water
per minute at 60 °F when inlet pressure (P1) is
1 psig and outlet pressure (P2) is atmospheric
(14.7 psia).
Column – Part of the gas chromatography
system where the separation of the sample
takes place (can be packed or capillary).
Combustion – An exothermic oxidation reaction
which may occur with any organic compound,
as well as with certain elements.
Compressed Gas – (1) A gas or mixture of
gases having, in a container, an absolute pressure
exceeding 40 psi at 70 °F; or (2) a gas or mixture
of gases having, in a container, an absolute pres-
sure exceeding 104 psi at 130 °F regardless of the
pressure at 70 °F or (3) a liquid flammable material
having a vapor pressure exceeding 40 psi at 100 °F
as determined by ASTM D-323-72.
Compressed Gas Association (CGA) –
This is a nonprofit technical association whose
membership includes many corporations active
in all phases of the compressed gas industries.
Founded in 1913, the CGA uses experience and
knowledge of its members to promote industry
wide standards and procedures for safety in the
manufacture, storage, transport and use of
compressed gases.
Corrosive – The ability of a chemical compound to
attack and produce irreversible damage to human
tissues, such as eyes, skin or mucous membranes.
Also, the ability of a chemical com-pound to attack

Cracking Pressure – A term used in back
pressure control only (e.g., back pressure
regulators, relief valves), for determining the
inlet pressure at which flow starts.
Creep – Any increase in outlet pressure of
a pressure regulator subsequent to lockup.
Usually seen as a long term slow pressure
increase. This generally indicates a seat leak
which is an abnormal condition.
Critical Density – The density of a pure material
at its critical temperature and critical pressure.
Critical Point – The transition point at which the
liquid and gaseous states of a substance merge
into each other. It is the temperature above which
a substance cannot exist in two phases, no matter
how great the pressure. See also “Critical
Temperature” and “Critical Pressure.”

Glossary
Normal Evaporation Rate (NER) – The degree
of product loss from a cryogenic liquid container
due to heat leak into the container as designed.
The NER is checked by measuring the amount of
product loss over a specified time and serves to
confirm whether the insulation is still good or not.

A gas industry reference base. Normal temperature
is 70 °F. Normal pressure is one atmosphere or
14,696 psia.
Occupational Safety and Health Administra-
tion (OSHA) – An organization within the
U.S. Department of Labor which sets standards
for employers to ensure safe and healthful working
conditions for employees.
Outlet Pressure (P2; Delivery Pressure;
Downstream Pressure) – The pressure of
the fluid from the discharge connection of a
control device.
Oxidizer – A chemical reagent which causes
oxidation of other substances and is thereby
reduced.
Partial Pressure – In any gas mixture the total
pressure is equal to the sum of the pressures
(partial) which each gas would exert were it alone
in the volume occupied by the mixture.
Parts Per Million (ppm) – A convenient means
for expressing low concentrations. As applied to
gases, ppm stands for moles per million moles.
ppm by weight is expressed as pounds per million
pounds. Ppm by volume is usually expressed in
cubic feet per million cubic feet.
Permissible Exposure Limits (PEL) –
See “Exposure Limit.”
Physical Hazard – Descriptive of a chemical for
which there is scientifically valid evidence that it is
a combustible liquid, a compressed gas, explosive,
flammable, an organic peroxide, an oxidizer,
pyrophoric, unstable reactive or water reactive.
Poison – A substance that in relatively small doses
has an action, when it is ingested by, injected into,
inhaled or absorbed by, or applied to a living organ-
ism, that either destroys life or impairs seriously the
function of one or more organs or tissues.
Polymerization – A chemical reaction, usually
carried out with a catalyst, heat or light, and often
H under high pressure, in which a large number of
relatively simple molecules combine to form a
18 chain-like macromolecule.
Proof Pressure – A test pressure applied
to control devices to verify structural integrity. No
deformation or excessive leakage is permitted at
this pressure and the control device must function
normally subsequent to this test. Normal industry
standard is 1.5 times (150%) of working pressure.
See also “Burst Pressure” and “Maximum
Operating Pressure.”
Pyrophoric – The ability of a chemical to ignite
spontaneously in air at a temperature of 130 °F
or below.
Pyrophoric Gas – A gas that can spontaneously
self-ignite when exposed to normal atmospheric
conditions.
Rare Gas – Refers to those constituents of
air which comprise less than 1% of air and
are generally considered inert such as argon,
helium, krypton, neon and xenon.
1-877-PRAXAIR www.praxair.com/specialtygases
Reactive Hazard – See “EPA Hazard.”
Relief Valve – A type of pressure relief device
which is designed to relieve excessive pressure,
and to reclose and reseal to prevent further flow
of gas from the cylinder after reseating pressure
has been achieved.
Restrictive Flow Orifice (RFO) – A safety
device place in the outlet of a cylinder valve that
is intended to limit the release rate of a hazardous
gas to a maximum specified range in the event of
the inadvertent opening of the valve or failure of
the system downstream of the valve outlet.
Safety Relief Device – A safety device usually
incorporated in a cylinder valve and actuated by
excessive pressure or temperature, or both, at
predetermined limits to avoid failure of the
pressure vessel.
Self-Relieving (Self-Venting) – A feature
incorporated in certain pressure reducing regulators
which enables the unit to relieve the outlet pressure
when adjusted in the decrease direction.
Sensitizer – The ability of a chemical to cause
a substantial proportion of exposed people or
animals to develop an allergic reaction in normal
tissue after repeated exposure to the chemical.
Short Term Exposure Limit (STEL) –
See “Threshold Limit Value – Short
Term Exposure Limit.”
SKIN – The “SKIN” designation, used with the
terms TLV-TWA and OSHA-PEL, indicates that
cutaneous absorption may contribute to the
overall exposure.
Solvent – A substance capable of dissolving
another substance (solute) to form a uniformly
dispersed mixture (solution) at the molecular or
ionic size level.
Span Gas – Gases which are used as a reference
point to span an analyzer.
Specific Gravity (Sp. Gr.) – The ratio of the weight
of one substance compared to the weight of an
equal volume of another substance which is used
as a standard. Usually gases are compared to air
(air = 1) while liquids and solids are compared to
water (H2O = 1).
Specific Heat – Amount of heat required to
raise a unit mass of a substance one degree of
temperature at either constant pressure (Cp) or
constant volume (Cv).
Specific Heat Ratio – The ratio of specific heat
at constant pressure (Cp) to the specific heat at
constant volume (Cv).
Specific Volume (Sp. Vol.) – Volume occupied by
a unit mass of a substance at a given temperature.
It is usually expressed in cubic feet per pound or
gallons per pound.
Spring Housing – See “Bonnet.”
Stainless Steel – Alloy steels containing
high percentages of chromium, from less than
10% to more than 25%.
Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP) –
An internationally accepted reference base.
Standard temperature is OOC. Standard pressure
is one atmosphere or 14.6960 psia.
Sublimation – The direct passage of a sub-
stance from solid to vapor without appearing in
the intermediate (liquid) state. An example is solid
carbon dioxide (dry ice) which vaporizes at room
temperature.
Sudden Release of Pressure Hazard –
See “EPA Hazard Categories.”
Tare Weight – The weight of an empty cylinder
without cap and valve.
Threshold Limit Value (TLV) – TLV’s are
measures of toxicity established by ACGIH.
The TLV of a substance refers, in general, to
airborne concentrations at or below which
nearly all workers may be repeatedly exposed
without adverse effect.
Threshold Limit Value – Ceiling
(TLV-Ceiling) – Refers to an airborne
concentration that should not be exceeded
even instantaneously.
Threshold Limit Value – Short Term Exposure
Limit (TLV-STEL) – Refers to a 15 minute time-
weighted average exposure which should not be
exceeded at any time during a workday even if
the time-weighted average is within the TLV. It
supplements the 8 hour TLV-TWA for certain
substances that produce acute effects on high,
short term exposure.
Threshold Limit Value – Time Weighted
Average (TLV-TWA) – Refers to the time-
weighted average concentration for a normal
8 hour work-day and a 40 hour workweek to
which nearly all workers may be repeatedly
exposed, day after day, without adverse effect.

See “Attached Poppet.”
Tied-Seat – See “Attached Poppet.”
Total Hydrocarbon Content (THC) –
THC is used to describe the quantity of

equilibrium as an invariant system.
United Nations (UN) –
See “DOT” ID Numbers.
United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) – The
official publication for drug product standards.
Unstable Reactive – The ability of a chemical in
the pure state, or as produced or transported, to
