Laboratory R-134A

Laboratory R-134A — small packs of tetrafluoroethane for the lab

Laboratory R-134A is supplied in small packs so that research teams do not have to buy more gas than they can use or store safely.
REAL GAZ offers lecture-bottle sizes and standard 13.6 kg cylinders, each with a stated purity.

Cylinders follow EN 1964, ISO 11114 compatibility rules and ADR UN 3159, suitable for teaching and research use.

Because tetrafluoroethane is heavier than air, small rooms need good extraction near the floor. Never heat a cylinder above 50 °C, and avoid open flames since the gas can decompose into toxic products. Lab managers should keep a record of stock and recovered gas.

🏭 Where Laboratory R-134a Is Used

⚙️ Thermodynamics teaching — students measure pressure and temperature curves of a real refrigerant;
🔬 Refrigeration research — small test loops compare compressors and oils;
🏥 Leak detector calibration — known gas helps to verify sniffer sensitivity;
🚀 Materials testing — elastomer and seal compatibility trials.

⚙️ Trusted Gas Solutions

REAL GAZ supplies laboratory R-134A to universities and test houses in Azerbaijan, Turkey, Georgia, Uzbekistan and the USA, with attention to recovery and responsible disposal.

A good laboratory routine includes a written risk assessment, a leak check on every new connection and a clear label on any transfer vessel. Partially used packs should be returned or recovered rather than vented. Our team can suggest suitable regulators, tubing and recovery cylinders, and can arrange collection of empties so that the stock room stays tidy and compliant.

Sizes typically range from small lecture bottles to full service cylinders, and the grade can be chosen to match the experiment: standard refrigerant grade for demonstration rigs, higher purity for property measurements. Training workshops often use a small circuit with sight glasses so students can watch evaporation and condensation. We also provide a short checklist for set-up, which covers purge, leak test, charging by weight and recovery at the end of the session. Enquiries about suitable sizes for a particular teaching programme are welcome, and we can propose a stock plan for the whole academic year.
