Gas Calibration Mix Cylinder (34L)

Ensure the accuracy of your gas detectors with our high-performance calibration cylinder. This certified mix is essential for "Bump Tests" and periodic calibration of your measuring instruments.

This calibration gas cylinder (Model 5078) contains a precise mixture of four gases, specifically designed for testing multigas detectors (such as the MSA Altair 4X). The accuracy of your sensors depends directly on the quality of the gas used during calibration. This compact 34-liter cylinder is easy to transport to job sites for daily safety checks.

Mixture Composition (Balance Nitrogen):

• Methane (CH₄): 1.45% (equivalent to 50% LEL)

• Oxygen (O₂): 15.0%

• Carbon Monoxide (CO): 60 PPM

• Hydrogen Sulfide (H₂S): 20 PPM

• Nitrogen (N₂): Balance

Key Advantages of this Calibration Cylinder:

• High Precision: Certified NIST-traceable mixture ensuring a reliable response from your sensors.

• Universal Compatibility: Works with most multigas detectors on the market (MSA, BW, Honeywell, REED).

• Portable Format: Lightweight 34-liter cylinder, ideal for mobile technicians and field use.

• Safety Guaranteed: Complies with all regulations for the transport and storage of compressed gases.

Technical Specifications:

• Volume: 34 Liters.

• Pressure: 500 psig.

• Gas Type: Reactive Mixture (4-Gas).

• Cylinder Material: Aluminum.

Sylprotec Expert Advice

"Always check the expiration date printed on your cylinder. Reactive gases like H₂S have a limited shelf life (typically 12 to 24 months). Using expired gas will lead to inaccurate calibrations, which could compromise the safety of your workers in confined spaces."

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Is this cylinder compatible with my regulator?

A: This cylinder uses a standard C-10 connection (5/8"-18 UNF). It is compatible with most fixed-flow or demand-flow regulators used in the industry.

Q: What is the difference between a 'Bump Test' and a calibration?

A: A Bump Test confirms that the alarms trigger correctly, while a calibration adjusts the sensor's measurement accuracy. This gas is suitable for both procedures.

Q: Can I transport this cylinder in my service vehicle?

A: Yes, but ensure it is properly secured and transported in a ventilated area, in compliance with compressed gas transportation standards.
