\nCompressed air and gas have contributed greatly to scientific advancements, exploration, industrial optimization, and medical, personnel and product safety. The history of contributions by compressed air and gas technologies is a long one, and there may be no greater evidence of this than the Compressed Gas Association<\/a>‘<\/strong>s (CGA) extraordinary anniversary: In 2013, the CGA has turned 100!<\/p>\n

To honor this historical mark, the CGA has published an 88-page document titled “Celebrating 100 Years as the Standard for Safety: The Compressed Gas Association, Inc., 1913 \u2013 2003.”<\/p>\n

The CGA\u2019s anniversary guide provides a fascinating historical look at the development and utilization of compressed gas. A large gallery of images provided by various industry companies and figures helps illustrate the field, from the first US air separation plant (Buffalo, New York; 1907) to the modern use of compressed gases and air with NASA\u2019s Space Shuttle, state-of-the-art hyperbaric medicine, and even the Macy\u2019s Thanksgiving Day Parade.<\/p>\n

\"Compressed<\/a>TRI Air Testing<\/strong> is proud to be part of this field. Independent, third-party testing is one of major ways the compressed air and gas fields meet their safety missions. Whether the compressed air and gas is used in pharmaceutical production, food and beverage manufacturing, recreational diving or fire and emergency response, independent testing helps verify and tighten quality further, as well as helps maximize operational efficiency.<\/p>\n
