PS200 Gas Detector Calibration Station

Yes, gas detectors require regular calibration to maintain measurement accuracy. Over time, sensors drift due to environmental exposure, temperature changes, and aging, which can lead to false readings or missed hazards. Most manufacturers and safety standards bodies, including OSHA, recommend routine bump testing before each use and full calibration at least every six months, or whenever a bump test fails or the detector is exposed to extreme conditions.

A NIST-traceable calibration gas is a certified reference mixture whose concentration values are linked through an unbroken chain of comparisons to standards maintained by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. This traceability ensures the gas meets nationally and internationally recognized accuracy requirements, giving end users confidence that their instruments are calibrated to a verified and auditable standard.

SpecGas Inc. provides calibration gas mixtures spanning PPB (sub-ppm) levels up to percent concentrations, including low PPM (1–100 ppm) and mid PPM to percent (greater than 100 ppm to 10%) ranges. Custom concentrations are also available to meet specific customer specifications, instrument requirements, or regulatory compliance standards for virtually any gas species.

SpecGas Inc. offers a broad selection compatible with the PS200 station, including reactive and toxic gases such as H2S, HCN, NH3, CO, NO/NOx, chlorine, and phosphine; hydrocarbon gases including propane, ethane, and isobutylene; atmospheric gases such as CO2, O2, and nitrogen; VOC and specialty gases including formaldehyde, acetone, and DMS; and noble gases such as argon and helium.

Yes. SpecGas Inc. specializes in custom gas blending to exact customer specifications, including unique concentration levels, balance gas selections, and multi-component mixtures. With in-house blending capabilities and deep technical expertise, the company can accommodate complex or difficult-to-produce mixtures — including stable formaldehyde and reactive gas blends — with adaptable tolerances and fast turnaround.

SpecGas Inc. offers calibration gas mixtures in disposable aluminum and steel cylinders, refillable aluminum and steel cylinders, and nickel-plated cylinders for the most reactive gases. Sizes range from 17-liter disposable cylinders for field use and overseas shipping up to 2,000-liter refillable cylinders for laboratory and industrial applications. A cost-effective cylinder deposit program is also available as an alternative to renting.
