Find answers to the most common questions about calibration gas cylinders, valves, regulators, and handling.
Calibration gases can be supplied in different cylinder capacities depending on the mixture, pressure, application and supplier.
For example, disposable calibration cylinders are available in sizes such as 17 L, 34 L, 60 L and 118 L in some product ranges.
A disposable calibration gas cylinder is a small, portable cylinder supplied with a specified gas mixture for calibration and testing applications.
They can provide:
This depends on the cylinder type. Many disposable cylinders are designed as non-refillable containers. Always follow the cylinder manufacturer's specifications.
Valve type depends on the cylinder and supplier. The required valve/connection should be specified when ordering, especially when a regulator or calibration kit is already available.
Usually, gas must be delivered to the detector at the flow rate and pressure specified by the detector manufacturer. A compatible regulator and calibration adapter may therefore be required.
