Abstract (en)
The present invention pertains to providing a monitoring of the status of a gaseous mixture within a gas cylinder, which may be subjected to various ambient temperatures that influence the state of the gaseous mixture. Accordingly, a gas monitoring device a gas monitoring device (10) for use with a gas cylinder (12) is suggested, comprising a first temperature sensor (16) for measuring an ambient temperature of the gas cylinder (12), an indicator (18) for indicating a status of a gaseous mixture comprised in the gas cylinder(12), and an evaluation unit(20) in communication with the first temperature sensor (16) and the indicator (18) and configured to determine a status of the gaseous mixture based on the received ambient temperature measurement. The evaluation unit (20) is furthermore configured to output a signal corresponding to said status to the indicator (18), when the gas monitoring device (10) is coupled to the gas cylinder (12).
