Chlorine 2 PPM Calibration Gas — Balance Nitrogen

Chlorine 2 PPM calibration gas in a nitrogen balance is primarily used to calibrate chlorine gas detectors and analyzers. It ensures instruments provide accurate readings in environments where chlorine may be present, such as water treatment plants, chemical manufacturing facilities, food processing operations, and industrial workplaces subject to OSHA exposure monitoring requirements.

Nitrogen is an inert gas that does not react with chlorine, making it an ideal diluent for precise, stable calibration gas mixtures. Using nitrogen as the balance gas prevents unwanted chemical reactions within the cylinder, preserves blend accuracy over time, and ensures the calibration gas performs consistently from the first use through the end of the cylinder's life.

Yes. All chlorine calibration gas blends produced by SpecGas Inc. are NIST-traceable, meaning the mixture concentrations are verified against National Institute of Standards and Technology reference standards. This traceability is essential for laboratories, regulatory compliance programs, and industrial facilities that require documented accuracy in their gas detection calibration processes.

SpecGas Inc. offers chlorine calibration gas in 40 lb., 70 lb., and 100 lb. cylinders. These sizes accommodate both lower-volume specialty laboratory needs and larger bulk industrial requirements. Cylinder availability in multiple sizes reduces the cost and logistical complexity of maintaining calibration gas supply for facilities with multiple detectors or high-frequency calibration schedules.

Chlorine is a highly toxic and reactive gas requiring strict safety protocols. Cylinders should be stored upright in ventilated, temperature-controlled areas away from incompatible materials. Use stainless steel or aluminum tubing and regulators — avoid brass, which reacts with chlorine. Follow OSHA regulations and CDC NIOSH guidelines, and ensure proper gas detection systems are in place in any workspace where chlorine cylinders are used.

Yes. SpecGas Inc. offers a custom gas blending service for chlorine calibration gas across a concentration range of 0.5 ppm to 10%. Blends can be produced in pure chlorine or as specialized mixtures with nitrogen or zero air as the balance gas. Calibration consultation is also available to help customers select the right concentration and cylinder configuration for their specific application.
