Laboratory R-404A — refrigerant for research and test facilities
Laboratory R-404A from REAL GAZ serves research benches, pilot rigs and teaching set-ups that need a known refrigerant in a manageable quantity.
Smaller cylinders limit waste, while the Certificate of Analysis documents what was supplied.

Handling guidance follows EN 378 machinery room principles, and the product is classified under ISO 817 for research and educational use.
Experimental work with refrigerants rewards good preparation. Before connecting a cylinder to a test rig, evacuate the lines, confirm that the instruments are calibrated and record the cylinder lot number alongside your measurements. Liquid withdrawal avoids fractionation of the blend, and a sight glass or mass flow meter helps verify that single-phase liquid is entering the circuit. When tests are finished, recover the refrigerant into a dedicated cylinder so that it can be reclaimed rather than released into the atmosphere. Please let us know if your institute requires a safety data sheet in a specific language, and we will advise what is available. Please share any special requirements early, so we can prepare the right fittings advice.
🏭 Where Laboratory R-404A Is Used
- 🔬 Thermodynamic research — universities measure vapour pressure, enthalpy and heat transfer coefficients of HFC blends;
- 🧪 Material compatibility trials — elastomers, seals and lubricants are soaked in refrigerant to see swelling and ageing effects;
- 📐 Heat exchanger development — prototype evaporators are tested under controlled load on instrumented rigs;
- 🎓 Teaching laboratories — students learn evacuation, leak detection and charging on demonstration units.
💡 Why Choose REAL GAZ
- ✅ Small, practical quantities — pack sizes suit bench work without leaving large unused stock;
- 🧪 Known contaminant levels — low moisture and acid values avoid skewing experimental data;
- 📄 Paperwork for lab records — CoA and safety data sheet are ready for your quality file;
- 🤝 Technical conversation — our staff can discuss connections, regulators and suitable fittings.
- 📄 Certificate of Analysis (CoA) — supplied with every order.
📘 Safe Use in the Laboratory
- work in a ventilated room, because vapour is heavier than air and can displace oxygen;
- use an oxygen deficiency monitor where larger volumes are handled;
- wear gloves and eye protection, as liquid refrigerant causes cold burns;
- recover used refrigerant into a labelled recovery cylinder rather than venting.
🔬 Quality Control & Safety
- multi-stage purification and drying;
- precision weighing of blend components;
- moisture & impurity analysis;
- leak testing and pressure integrity checks.
Cylinders comply with ADR / UN transport rules and relevant EN/ISO standards.
