The certification and traceability of our gas mixtures and the methods by which we generate certificates.
-
The stability and shelf-life of gas mixtures and pure gases and how BOC treat cylinders to extend the shelf-life of low-level reactive gas mixtures.
-
The accuracy and tolerances and where uncertainties arise in gas mixtures, from filling to certification, and how this is reflected in the product you receive.
-
The methods used to grade the different purities and grades of gases supplied by BOC.
