  • Cylinders are aluminium based and lightweight
  • Cylinders are compact than your regular calibration gas cylinders
  • Due to its light weight design, these cylinders can be practically shipped anywhere
  • Extremely competitive lead times
  • 24x7 Electronic access to Certificate of Analysis


The part number formulation is determined by cylinder size,component of interest, and gas concentration. The part number formulation is size-suffix-concentration.
