Marine Noble Gas Cylinders in Shoreham Port - Gas Systems

Marine Noble Gas Cylinders are specialized containers designed for storing and transporting noble gases like helium, neon, argon, krypton, and xenon in marine environments. These systems ensure high-pressure gas storage with robust safety features to withstand harsh oceanic conditions. They are commonly used in diving, research, and industrial applications requiring inert gas solutions.

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.
