GASES

EGL Gas Mixtures

All Egl Gases Are Of The Highest Quality: 99.999% Pure

EGL standard and blended gas mixtures are shipped in soft glass flasks (0.9 liter). All
gases are bottled in a completely new rare gas plant, using state-of-the-art apparatus
and techniques. Gas tanks are also available in 10 and 25 liter sizes.

EGL Neon Excellent for clear red units,or for coated tubing.

EGL Argon For low-voltage fluorescent tubes and fluorescent lamps. Mercury required. Not recommended for
outdoor use.

EGL Blue EGL’s standard mixture for warmer climates — used in clear or fluorescent-coated tubing with
added mercury.

The best for all-weather applications, from below-zero regions to the tropics. The high percentage of
EGL K4 Ne in K4 provides the heat necessary to completely vaporize mercury under cold weather conditions.
Mercuryrequired. Proven 14 to 49% brighter than competitive cold weather gases by an independent
laboratory.

EGL Flushing Helium The finest and safest gas for preliminary bombarding, or for flushing-out repair units.

EGL Helium For clear glass tubes – giving pale flesh-pink color, or – when using noviol-coated tubing, a warm
gold tone. Must be used at a lower pressure than normal (4-6 mm typically).

Mercury Injector

The EGL Mercury Injector improves operator safety and dispensing accuracy. Pressing a button advances a plunger, dispensing 10 micro liters (100mg)
or mercury, equivalent to a ball 2mm in diameter-the correct amount for most argon filled “neon” tubes. The reservoir has a 500 micro liter capacity,
good for 50 applications. Marked in 10 micro liter increments, it enables the user to calibrate total volume by setting the plunger position. The injector
dispensing tube end is blunt, reducing the danger associated with sharp medical syringes commonly employed to inject mercury. In addition, it offers the
repeatable accuracy needed to prevent over-filling that causes mercury condensation tube darkening, and under-filling that reduces tube brightness.
