Linde Helium/Nitrogen Mixture (10% He in N₂) – Gas Cylinder

The helium/nitrogen mixture (10% helium in nitrogen) from Linde is a specialty gas designed primarily for leak detection applications in industrial and laboratory environments.

The mixture is colorless, odorless, non-toxic, and non-flammable, but classified as an asphyxiant. The helium component enables highly sensitive leak detection using helium leak detectors due to its low molecular weight and high diffusivity, while nitrogen acts as an inert carrier gas.

Its stable composition and safe handling characteristics make it suitable for both routine and demanding leak testing applications across various industries.
