MBW started working with the electrical power industry more than forty years ago when the adoption of Sulfur Hexafluoride in gas insulated switchgears became more widespread from the development centers in Switzerland, Germany and France.

MBW developed specific solutions for this challenging application and continues to work within the electrical power industry to provide stable, cost-effective instruments for the measurement of SF₆ gas quality.

MBW was the first supplier of SF₆ gas analyzers that captured and returned the measured gas to the gas compartment so that measurements released virtually no SF₆ gas to the atmosphere. Our fundamental chilled mirror technique requires no routine sensor replacement or frequent calibration, so it is ideal for distant locations where returning equipment is expensive and time consuming.

For SF₆ measurement, we highly recommend the following MBW product.
