Calibration Gas Cylinders

Calibration Gas Cylinders

Custom blends are available by request. Many 4-gas blends are in stock and ready to ship. Commonly sold cylinders ship 1-2 days after ordering, but exotics and multi-component blends may take 1-2 weeks. Please contact us to send requests for mixes you can't find or if you'd like our assistance choosing the right gas blend or if you're concerned about an order reaching you in time. You can use the Add to Quote button to submit a request quickly and easily. We usually respond the same or next day. Feel free to reach out through chat (click the bubble) or by text/call (734-956-0539) if you need an answer quickly.

Custom Calibration Gas Blends, 4-Gas, How to Check Stock

Calibration gas (AKA calgas) is used to ensure that your gas detection equipment is accurately measuring the presence of hazardous gases and compounds in your work environment. Accurate calibration is essential to ensure that your equipment is functioning properly and that your employees are protected from potential dangers. Our calgas cylinders are formulated and tested to provide precise mixtures and concentrations of gases, ensuring accurate calibration and reliable performance of your gas detection equipment. 

To find the gas you're looking for, please use the filters for Gas Detector Model on the sidebar.

I have a BW GasAlert MicroClip XL and calibrate it with the standard methane gas, etc mixture. I need to test for butane. What calibration gas and/or correction factors do I need to use? See more »
1 year ago
Multiplying the instrument reading by the correction factor for Butane provides the true concentration. The correction factor when the sensor is calibrated to methane is 1.67. A correction factor of 1.67 would be calculated as:

30% LEL Methane x 1.67 correction factor = 50% LEL Butane.

What is the difference between calibration gas, cal gas, and bump gas? Is it all the same thing? See more »
11 months ago  •  Staff Answer
Often calgas, calibration gas, and bump gas are used interchangeably, but there are a couple of differences:

1. Calgas and calibration gas both refer to highly accurate standards used for calibrating or bump testing gas detectors
2. Bump gas specifically refers to gas that is only partially accurate and is used simply to verify that sensors are operational. Usually bump gas has higher values than calibration gas as it is used specifically to set the monitor into alarm.

What gases are used to calibrate the MSA Orion? See more »
6 months ago
The MSA Orion uses a different 4-gas configuration compared to the other MSA 4-gas detectors. Some times people will ask for it to have the methane value instead of the pentane. 10ppm Hydrogen Sulfide (HS2) 300ppm Carbon Monoxide (CO) 58% LEL Pentane (1.45% Volume Methane as a Simulant) 15.0% Oxygen balance Nitrogen (N2)

Here's a link to the MSA Orion calibration gas
