F-gases are man-made, and the most common in the EU are hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and sulphur hexafluoride. These were favourable for a time because they do not harm the ozone layer, have low toxicity, and are non-flammable.

What is F-gas and why should you be paying more attention? Graham Fraser, MD of Fraser Technologies, discusses the changes in F-gas regulations, what to look out for, and how businesses may be breaking the law without realising

These cameras typically allow the detection of dangerous gases such methane, sulphur hexafluoride and several hundred others accurately and safely.

No vessel is too small for thermal imaging inspection: An application at Cambridge Beer Festival demonstrates that no vessel is too small for thermal imaging inspection

Chlorotrifluoromethane (CClF3) a refrigerant which is being "phased out" has a GWP of 13,900, sulphur hexafluoride (SF6), used as an insulator in the electrical industry and in double glazing, has a GWP of 23,500, and nitrogen trifluoride (NF3), used as an etchant in microelectronics, has a GWP 16,000.

Little science and less arithmetic

An alternative to the use of sulphur hexafluoride (one of the gases the Kyoto Protocol aims to reduce emissions of to control climate change) in high voltage substations, g3 technology contributes to a greener grid.

There are three main categories of these gases - hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs) and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6).

CLIMATE CHANGE/MONTREAL PROTOCOL : FLUORINATED GASES: PROGRESS DESPITE INDIA'S OPPOSITION

Under the Protocol, 37 countries ("Annex I countries") commit themselves to a reduction of four greenhouse gases (GHG) (carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, sulphur hexafluoride) and two groups of gases (hydrofluorocarbons and perfluorocarbons) produced by them, and all member countries give general commitments.
