Calibration gas

To perform periodical checkings, bump tests and calibration of gas detectors or devices such as chromatographs, gas analyzers, breathalyzers or MAP analyzers, we offer a very large line of calibration gases with single-use disposable calibration gas cylinders. These gas monitor calibration cylinders are all ISO6142 compliant.

Calibration gas

The available line covers a whole range from classic LEL binary mixtures up to multiple and complex gas mixtures used in laboratories with very low concentrations (a few ppm). These calibration gases are gravimetrically mixed and are compliant with the ISO6142 standard. This process enables a high accuracy of concentrations and optimal shelf life of calibration gas cylinders.

Gaseous mixtures are primarily used for fixed gas monitors or portable gas detector calibration and control (portable detectors are also subjected to the bump test with a standard gas cylinder) but are also used for many other applications. They can be used for gas chromatography, agro-food atmosphere analysis, medical gas analysis, breathalyzers & interlock alcohol breath measuring systems, environmental monitoring and so on.

Thanks to a partnership with Air Products, GazDetect is able to offer its customers perfectly adapted solutions with a very wide range of calibration gas mixtures and high-purity gases in order to meet all requirements.
