Packaging must be based on several different key criteria when it comes to specialty gases. The three key factors that are taken into consideration when packing specialty gas are safety, customer convenience and compatibility. Each and every customer’s safety and the persons who handle or transport gases are of great importance.

The selection of the correct container and the proper valve is mandatory for this purpose. These gases may be reactive or corrosive in nature therefore it is imperative to make sure that the valves and containers do not react with the product being transported or carried. The material used to make valves and cylinders are steel, aluminum, brass and sometimes stainless steel as well.

Depending on the volume customers may be interested in different sizes of cylinders or even go in for multi cylinder packs, tube trailers and at times even cryogenic liquid cylinders. It is a known fact that calibration gases have properties which cause accidents and injuries therefore proper precautions and safety practices have to be followed very strictly.

It is mandatory that people who have the possibility of being exposed to such products must be trained properly before handling the same. There are clear cut precautionary labels on the specialty gas as well as calibration gas cylinders. While unloading these types of products, it is always recommended that the people involved wear protective gear which includes chemical resistant clothing and gloves and eye protective equipment. Safety devices such as ambient air monitors have to place in order to detect specific gases.
