Marine Noble Gas Cylinders and Gas Systems typically include the following key specifications and technical properties:
Size: Cylinder sizes range from 1L to 50L, with larger storage systems available for industrial applications.
Grade: High-purity noble gases (He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, Rn) with purity levels up to 99.999% (5.0 grade) or higher for specialized uses.
Viscosity: Noble gases are low-viscosity fluids, with dynamic viscosity ranging from 19.8 μPa·s (Xe) to 31.7 μPa·s (He) at standard conditions.
Buoyancy: Lighter noble gases (He, Ne) provide positive buoyancy, while heavier gases (Ar, Kr, Xe) are denser than air and may reduce buoyancy.
Material: Cylinders are typically made from high-strength aluminum alloys (e.g., AA6061) or carbon steel with protective coatings to resist corrosion.
Pressure Rating: Standard working pressures range from 150 to 300 bar, with high-pressure variants up to 450 bar.
Valve Type: Brass or stainless steel CGA (Compressed Gas Association) valves for secure connections.
Temperature Range: Operational range from -40°C to +60°C, with specialized cryogenic storage for liquefied noble gases.
Regulatory Compliance: Meets ISO 9809, DOT, or EN standards for marine and industrial gas storage.
Weight: Varies by size; a standard 10L cylinder weighs ~12-15 kg when empty.
