{"title":"Calibration Gases","description":"\u003cp\u003eCalibration gas is the certified reference your gas detector is checked and adjusted against, so it has to match the detector's sensors and setpoints.

A standard 4-gas confined-space monitor is usually calibrated from one cylinder holding a combustible gas (methane or pentane), oxygen, CO and H2S. Send us the detector make, model and sensors, and we will quote the matching mixture.

Inert and non-reactive gases can use steel cylinders. Size the cylinder to your usage, so the gas is used before its expiry date.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich regulator fits my cylinder?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe regulator has to match the cylinder outlet and the flow your detector needs. Norlab steel cylinders come with CGA 600, C-10 or CGA 165 outlets, and the 58 L aluminum cylinder has a C-10 outlet.
