At Airgas, we understand specialty gases and what you need to successfully achieve accurate results. ALPHAGAZ 1 with SMARTOP Grade Hydrogen exceeds the purity recommendations of most laboratory instrument manufacturers and is ideal for any analytical and process control applications. In addition to guaranteed purity and consistency, ALPHAGAZ 1 comes equipped with SMARTOP cylinder valve technology that protects gas purity and helps you better manage gas use and improve safety. With a unique ergonomic top, visible on/off levers and at-a-glance cylinder content readings, your team always knows when the cylinder is open and how much gas you have left. See the Argon pages under the Pure Gases Tab on the Menu of our Specialty Gas & Equipment Catalog for detailed gas purity information.
Airgas operates its own dedicated blending facilities as well as maintains a national network of blending technology to ensure accurate, consistent production.
Individual Certificate of Analysis available upon request.
Applications
Hydrogen has become an ideal alternative energy source because of its tendency to produce lower unwanted emissions.
Typically mixed with argon, hydrogen is used for welding and cutting stainless steel.
Hydrogen is used in chemical synthesis to produce ammonia, methanol and other products.
In refineries hydrogen is used to process crude oil into refined oils, such as gasoline and diesel, and to remove contaminants.
Hydrogen is also essential in chemical processing such as creating sulfuric and hydrochloric acids.
Hydrogen is sometimes used instead of helium as the carrier gas in gas chromatography (GC).
Hydrogen gas is essential for rocket propulsion as well as powering and maintaining spacecrafts.
