📦 How to Order
When you buy sulfur hexafluoride SF₆, a few details let us prepare an accurate quotation and the correct paperwork. Please state the required grade, the number of cylinders, the delivery country and whether you need regulators or recovery adaptors. Our team replies with a written confirmation of what will be shipped, including the cylinder type and the documents that travel with it.
- grade: technical or electrical grade against IEC 60376;
- packaging: 10, 40 or 50 litre steel cylinders, or bundles for large projects;
- documents: CoA, safety data sheet and transport papers for ADR road delivery;
- return: empty cylinders can be collected for refilling to reduce handling costs.
Purchasing teams also value predictability. Our quotations state the grade and cylinder type, and our delivery notes list every cylinder number, so goods-in staff can reconcile the shipment quickly and engineers can log the gas against the equipment it was used on.
