Pennsylvania-based industrial, medical and specialty gases distributor Airgas has unveiled its new multi-edition Specialty Gases and Equipment Reference Guide at the 2009 Pittsburgh Conference in Chicago, Illinois.

The literature, available in its traditional print form, is now available in CD and Internet formats, allowing for up-to-the-minute, automatic updates each time a user opens the e-catalogue from their computer desktop.

The company said that the catalogue provides detailed specifications on hundreds of Airgas products used in a variety of specialty gas applications. The online version features an integrated product search toolbar, high quality photographs and illustrated flow curves to help users locate the right products for their needs and make informed decisions based on gas application requirements.
