Applications:
Electrical Industries Circuit Breaker | leak detection and as a gaseous dielectric for transformers,
condensers |
As an inert gas | For the casting of magnesium.as an etchant in the semiconductor |
As an inert filling | Insulated glazing windows. |
Dielectric medium | SF6 is used in the electrical industry as a gaseous dielectric medium for high-voltage circuit breakers, switchgear, and other electrical equipment, often replacing oil filled circuit breakers (OCBs) that can contain harmful PCBs. |
Medical use | SF6 is used to provide a tamponade or plug of a retinal hole in retinal detachment repair operations in the form of a gas bubble.SF6 is used as a contrast agent for ultrasound imaging. Sulfur hexafluoride microbubbles are administered in solution through injection into a peripheral vein. |
Tracer compound | Sulfur hexafluoride was the tracer gas used in the first roadway air dispersion model calibration; this research program was sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and conducted in Sunnyvale, California on U.S. Highway 101.Sulfur hexafluoride is also routinely used as a tracer gas in laboratory fume hood containment testing. |
