Bevin Gases is a division of Bevin Bros. Mfg., a family company based in CT since 1832, and currently in its 6th generation of Bevin family leadership.
Bevin Bros. Proprietary FORTREX Coating
Our patented FORTREX coating process is applied to compressed gas cylinders to ensure and extend the purity and the stability of compressed gas inside the cylinder. FORTREX protects against the fading of reactive gases better than any other coating on the market.
FORTREX is applied by a chemical vapor disposition (CVD) ensuring 100% surface coating with a very low dissipation factor of the compressed gas. Uniformity of the coating is assured by random sampling through Reflectance Measurement Technology Sampling taken from the interior of coated cylinders by random selection.
FORTREX provides 60 months of stability versus the industry standard of 24 months.
Once applied, there remains an ultra-thin coating on the cylinder wall eliminating permeability of cylinder material (off gassing) passing from the cylinder walls into the compressed gases inside the coated cylinder and reducing any potential reaction between the metal and the gas, which helps maintain the concentration of the gas.
Once FORTREX is applied, we condition the cylinder with an initial “bump” of H2S (or other specified gas) and our proprietary thermal processing, so that any potential initial reaction is already taken care of, and the cylinders are ready for filling.
This means longer stability of your product and an edge over the competition.

60 months stability versus 24.
The math is easy.
Oh, and the Bevin Gases cylinder is totally re-cyclable. 100% Green. You don’t have to increase the carbon footprint by shipping it back across the company for re-fill. Use our nifty cylinder vent and de-valving tool so you can dispose of it easily and safely.
Our 115 non-reactive cylinder is now approved for fill at 1320 PSI overfill, so it holds more gas and we changed its PN to 115C. It’s used for non-reactive gas mixtures and pure gases. Same dimensions, same valve. But it holds more product. 30% more than the old 103 liter cylinder.
The Bevin Gases Cylinder is our new 115 liter coated steel cylinder, and it’s also approved for 1320 PSI. That’s over twice as much calgas as the old 58 liter aluminum cylinder. For years, the shelf-life and stability of reactive gases like hydrogen sulfide (H2S), nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and other such components has been a serious issue. Our new cylinder coating eliminates stability as an issue and extends the shelf life of these mixtures to 60 months.
Reactive mixtures used to be filled in the 58 liter aluminum cylinder, which contained 2 cubic feet of gas. Shelf life for the rest of the industry was only 24 months.
The Bevin Gases Cylinder has double
that pressure and twice the gas
volume.
With the Bevin Gases Coating, we fill our
reactive mixtures in steel cylinders. This
turns the industry paradigm upside down to
give you more calibration gas per cylinder
and with a much, much longer
shelf-life.
