Honeywell AccuDri® SF6 is 99.9% pure and ideal for gas insulated switchgear and circuit breaker applications. AccuDri® SF6 meets or exceeds the requirements for the maximum acceptable impurity levels for technical grade SF6 given in Table 1 of IEC 60376 (2005-06). AccuDri® SF6 meets or exceeds the requirements given in ASTM D 2472-00. AccuDri® SF6 has a unique combination of physical and electrical properties that make it an excellent gaseous dielectric for high voltage power applications: it is non-flammable, non-toxic, non-reactive, non-corrosive, and non-conductive. SF6 also performs well in a variety of non-electrical cover gas applications such as aluminum degassing and magnesium casting. A specification sheet with detailed information on impurity levels is available for download below.


The Honeywell AccuDri® SF6 Technical Brochure is a comprehensive scientific resource available for download below. The Technical Brochure includes detailed information on the electrical, physical, chemical, and thermodynamic properties of SF6. The Brochure also includes information on SF6 applications, stability, arc byproducts, treating arced SF6, safety, packaging, purity specifications, storage, and handling.


Honeywell offers an SF6 Analysis Service to inspect samples of gas taken from use in the field. The results of this analysis can help you lower maintenance costs, reduce equipment failures, and maximize performance. A detailed brochure describing the SF6 Analysis Service is available for download below.


In North America, several Honeywell AccuDri® distributors offer SF6 recycling and reclamation services. Feel free to contact Airgas or Advanced Specialty Gases  for more information.
