Formaldehyde Calibration Gas - 10 ppm Standard

Yes. SpecGas formaldehyde calibration gas complies with EPA Method 320 for measuring gaseous formaldehyde (CH2O) in stack emissions. These blends are used directly as spike gas infused into stack flue gas during FTIR-based emissions testing at Title V major sources, MATS-regulated coal-fired power plants, and NESHAP-regulated industrial boilers.

Formaldehyde is a highly reactive gas that polymerizes and degrades in standard cylinders, making stable blends extremely difficult to produce. SpecGas employs a proprietary internal cylinder treatment process developed through decades of R&D, enabling consistently stable, accurate formaldehyde mixtures with extended shelf life — a capability very few suppliers in the world can offer.

SpecGas formaldehyde calibration gas is suitable for Gas Chromatographs (GC), FTIR Spectrometers, portable formaldehyde monitors from MSA, Dräger, Honeywell BW, and ION Science TVOC PIDs, as well as laboratory-grade analyzers from PicoTrace and ATI. It supports both bump testing and full calibration routines across field and lab environments.

Formaldehyde calibration gas is available in specially treated aluminum cylinders ranging from 5.9L to 47L internal water volume. The VOCs product line also offers disposable steel, refillable aluminum and steel, and nickel-plated cylinders from 17 to 2000 liters. Cylinder selection depends on required volume, application, and whether field portability or lab use is needed.

Yes. SpecGas formaldehyde standards are widely used for IAQ monitoring in newly constructed buildings, schools, hospitals, offices, and manufactured housing. These blends support compliance with LEED IEQ, WELL Building Standard, RESET Air, CDPH Standard Method, and HUD 24 CFR 3280.308 for mobile and manufactured home formaldehyde testing.

Yes. SpecGas provides custom gas blending to customer specifications, including unusual concentrations, multi-component mixtures, or specific balance gas requirements. Technical support is available from experienced specialty gas chemists, including founder Alfred Boehm, who has over 45 years of industry experience. Rush service and expert consultation for complex mixture requirements are also available.
