Many laboratories, test centers, and industrial facilities rely on the safe and continuous supply of major and specialty gases to support critical processes. For laboratory and reliability managers, engineers, and operators, optimizing the integrity of these gas distribution systems is crucial to ensuring efficient business operations.
If problems such as inefficient use of gas cylinders or undetected leaks are not addressed, additional expenses may result. Sometimes, it can be difficult to diagnose a problem without drawing a wiring diagram of the system. At the same time, when testing must be repeated or inaccurate, the result is often failure or costly delays.
When experts retire or transfer, valuable knowledge may also disappear, leaving a gap in people's understanding of gas distribution systems. Many companies benefit from the experience and keen vision of professional consultants, who can re evaluate gas panels from scratch to identify areas for improvement. Usually, a new perspective can reveal issues that have not been noticed and have been ignored. Benchmarking management systems provide opportunities for those who take chances (for example, "This has always been the case" or "We've never had a problem") to carefully study various aspects of design.
