Gas detection

Content

When working around flammable, inert or toxic gases, or in confined space, gas detection devices are used for safety. These detectors require testing and calibration with...

Soil and groundwater analysis

Content

Soil and ground water samples are analysed to assess the environmental impact of any chemical spillages and emissions. The samples are analysed using high purity specialt...

Vehicle emissions and type approvals

Content

New car and truck models are tested to ensure that they conform to the relevant emissions legislation. The testing equipment requires many different traceable calibration...

Life sciences & healthcare

Specialty gases assist in a range of applications in the life science and healthcare industries, with uses in both production and analytical capacities.
