HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Air Liquide today announced the launch of its free Easy Gas Converter smart phone app designed for use by industry professionals, technicians and the academic community. The app is available for download today for the iPhone in the iTunes App Store. The Android app will be available in the Google Play store in May.
The Air Liquide Easy Gas Converter app gives users the ability to instantly calculate conversions for 14 gas molecules, such as nitrogen, oxygen and hydrogen, from gaseous to liquid state. The app also includes a unit calculator that converts weight and measures area, length and volume. Additional unit conversions include pressure, energy, power, velocity, density, specific energy and others. Users can easily share conversions through email, text message, Facebook and Twitter from within the app.
The app can be customized according to a user’s personal preferences. Data conversions are available in both the standard U.S. and metric systems. Users can customize the display by arranging the order of molecules and unit conversions within the application.
The app provides an additional resource for customers: the Air Liquide facility locator, provides the physical address, web address, and main locations and telephone numbers for Air Liquide’s head offices worldwide.
All of the app’s features, with the exception of the easy sharing feature, are available with or without a network connection.
