Air Products' Integra® cylinder
receives TUV Rheinland Group certification
Air Products' revolutionary Integra® cylinder
has received TUV Rheinland Group certification, recognising
its unrivalled safety and ergonomic features. Air
Products is the first gases and chemicals company
to receive the certification.
The German standards testing and certification organisation,
TUV Rheinland Group, is recognised throughout the
world for documenting the safety and quality of products,
systems and services.
The TUV certification confirms that the Integra®
cylinder is safer than the standard requirements to
welding gas cylinders in general, thanks to its integrated
features. The organisation also concluded that the
Integra® quick-connect outlet allows users to
reduce cylinder change time by up to 90%, while being
easier to handle due to its reduced weight and height.
Details of the TUV award will feature on all Integra®
cylinders. It will also point users to a web site
that cites the benefits of the Integra cylinder identified
by TUV during their certification. 1)
Air Products' Integra® cylinder was developed
to meet the growing production and safety demands
of today's welding industry. "Integra® is
up to 23% lighter and 33% smaller, making it more
stable than traditional 50 litre cylinders but retaining
a similar capacity," explains Mark Griffiths,
300bar Programme Manager.
"A built-in pressure regulator, quick-connect
system - complete with a range of flow control options
- and a live contents gauge, make for safer and easier
operation, while also offering better reliability,"
adds Mark.
Over 300,000 Integra® cylinders have been sold
across Europe since its launch in 1999. As well as
the benefits of the Integra® cylinder, a unique
range of shielding gases has been developed to provide
improved productivity, fewer welding rejects and a
better working environment.
The Maxx™ gases range comprises:
 |
Ferromaxx® - For
faster, cleaner welding of carbon steel. |
|
Inomaxx® - Maximum
performance for welding stainless steel. |
|
Alumaxx ®- One gas
that does it all for aluminum. |
Argon and EuroMix M21 are also available in Integra®
cylinder.
