Many industries rely on compressed gas and its wide range of uses, which is why this has been included in most facilities. Be it hospitals, manufacturing, or food industry, the use of compressed gas fosters efficiency and safety. HCM offers a range of high-pressure cylinders that utilize gases like oxygen (O₂), nitrogen (N₂), carbon dioxide (CO₂), and other gases for particular uses.
What exactly is Compressed Gas?
Compressed gas has a specific meaning and it denotes any gas that is stored in a barrel or a specific container and is stored at a pressure that is higher than the atmospheric pressure. Most of those compressed gases are liquefied or gaseous so as to fit portable cylinders. Oxygen and nitrous oxide, nitrogen and helium are common compressed gases used in industries, medical facilities, and food and beverages products.
Applications of Compressed Gas
1. Industrial Manufacturing
In industries, compressed gas is employed in welding, the cutting and cleaning processes. For welding metals oxygen and acetylene gases are frequently employed, while tanks and lines are often purged with nitrogen in the chemical and oil companies. In addition, nitrogen is employed in the electronics industry to provide inert ambience that precludes oxidation during manufacturing processes.
2. Medical and Healthcare
Medical assitance often relies on compressed gas. Oxygen, for example, is the most widely recognized medical gas which allows patients with lung diseases to be saved. It is common to administer nitrous oxide as an anesthetic, and playgrounds are also treated with medical nitrogen, which is used in cryotherapy and surgical instruments. HCM delivers consistent and high-purity gases as well as complete solutions into the hands of healthcare professionals across the globe.
3. The food and beverage sector
In addition to that, compressed gas is however used in the food and beverage sector to enhance the taste of beer and sodas, extend the shelf life of food through flushing oxygen, packaging, and food preservation. Food-grade gas N is the most common means of flushing packaged food. Hammadi provides food-grade gas that complies with the most stringent industry standards for safety and quality.
4. Laboratories and research
Most commodities use Compressed gas as one of the equipment especially in their laboratories and research since they are able to conduct different kinds of scientific experiments. Helium, nitrogen, and hydrogen gases are utilized in a variety of applications, including cryogenic and diagnostic lasers. High-purity gases are among the many products HCM sells to laboratories that need uniform quality of produced items and reliable accuracy of their composition.
Gas pressure containment
When dealing with compressed gas, the welfare of the gas is an important consideration especially when the gas is within a gas cylinder. All gas cylinders must be secure during transportation and sanitation is always a must to avoid incidences from occurring. To prevent the occurrence of leaks or explosions, HCM makes sure all cylinders are clearly marked and have been labelled to show they have passed testing. The assurance of quality and safety of the gases received by the clients of HCM is understandable.
