Specialty gases are widely used in the analytical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and electronics industries.

The Compressed Gas Association (CGA) first coined the use of the term, “specialty gas,” in the early 1960s in reference to gases of high purity – those with a minimum purity of 99.995%. These gases include rare gases such as krypton, gases and mixtures used for analytical purposes such as calibration, and gases used in semiconductor manufacturing.

Attend this webinar to learn:

  • What is a specialty gas?
  • What differentiates a specialty gas from an industrial gas?
  • What are types of specialty gases?
  • How can CGA publications assist in the classification and handling of specialty gases?

Regardless of your background (some or no experience with specialty gases) this webinar will help you advance your knowledge of this important topic.

All employees who work for CGA member companies may participate in this webinar for free (see pricing details at the bottom of this page).

Audience level:

  • Non-technical, entry-level (little to no knowledge of the topic is required)
  • Intermediate (basic knowledge and understanding of the topic)

The 45 minute presentation will be followed by 15 minutes of Q&A with the audience, so come prepared with your questions.
