The system is used for creating precision gas mixture standards that are certifiably traceable to NIST standards.  Gas mixture standards are produced through precise dilution of gases emitted from special permeation tubes (Trace Source™). These standards are designed to emit a fixed quantity of gas at a given set temperature.  Through careful control of the permeation tube temperature and the temperature and flow of the diluent gas, NIST traceable gas standards are generated. These standards can subsequently be used to calibrate various instruments for the quantification of specific chemical species.  Gas standard concentrations ranging from below 1 part per billion (ppb) to greater than 1,000 parts per million (ppm) are possible using a single permeation tube source and variation of diluent gas flow. ## EFC Gas Standard Development through the Permeation Tube Process At EFC, we have purchased permeation tubes for generating a precise mixture of acid gases hydrogen fluorine (HF) and hydrogen chloride (HCl). Developing gas standards for measuring and quantifying HF and HCl in some of our legacy products and some of our new liquid precursor products is our focus. This capability brings to EFC a tremendous added value in providing our customers with precise and reliable measurements of these key impurity acid gases. The new KIN-TEK system will initially be commissioned in the Research and Development Laboratory to develop further measuring and quantifying systems for gases. Additionally, it will be available to the Production Analytical Department for routine generation of certifiable gas standards to support our business. ![Dr. Robert Syvret, Ph.D. FACS](https://blog.efcgases.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Electronic%20Fluorocarbons%20-%20September%202021-452-%20-%20Small%20sRGB.jpg?width=150&name=Electronic%20Fluorocarbons%20-%20September%202021-452-%20-%20Small%20sRGB.jpg) #### Dr. Robert Syvret, Ph.D. FACS As Chief Scientist with Electronic Fluorocarbons, Bob Syvret plays a primary role in developing new commercial products and improving process technology and safety protocols. His thirty plus year career has focused on industrial fluorine chemistry and technology where he has developed new commercial products (Selectfluor® and and DeoxoFluor™) and improved process technology for the production of low-GWP refrigerants as well as F2, NF3, SiF4, SF4, SF6, BrF3, ClF3, WF6, C4F6, CF4, C2F6, IF5, CF3OF, CF2(OF)2, and several C/H/F/O compounds as advanced etch candidates. Before joining EFC, Syvret was with Voltaix for two years as New Product Development Scientist, Arkema, Inc. for five years as Research Fellow in Fluorine Chemistry, and Air Products and Chemicals for twenty-two years as Research Associate – Fluorine Chemistry. Dr. Syvret holds numerous patents and was awarded the 2020 American Chemical Society National Award for Creative Work in Fluorine Chemistry for lifetime achievements, being only the 2nd industrial chemist to receive this honor since its inception in 1972. He is a Fellow of the American Chemical Society, a Research Fellow with Lehigh University Department of Chemistry, and a Visiting Scientist with the University of Albany Department of Chemistry. He serves as Treasurer of the ACS Division of Fluorine Chemistry. Dr. Syvret holds B.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in main group fluorine chemistry from McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. ## Leave a Comment ## Related Articles [![](https://blog.efcgases.com/hubfs/Photos%202021/blue%20cylinders.png)](https://blog.efcgases.com/ultra-high-purity-anhydrous-hydrogen-chloride-ahcl) ### [AHCl with Low Water Content For Highest Quality | EF Gases](https://blog.efcgases.com/ultra-high-purity-anhydrous-hydrogen-chloride-ahcl) # **Ultra-high Purity Anhydrous Hydrogen Chloride (AHCl)** Anhydrous Hydrogen Chloride (AHCl) is colorless, thermally stable, corrosive gas with an asphyxiating odor.
