Proper Use and Maintenance of Refillable Calibration Cylinders
To get the most out of refillable calibration cylinders, follow these best practices for use and maintenance.
How to Store Calibration Gas Cylinders
To keep handlers safe and maintain gas mixture integrity, follow safety guidelines and best practices for storage and handling. These best practices include maintaining temperature control in the cylinder storage area, keeping full cylinders separate from empty cylinders and always storing cylinders securely in an upright position with proper identification.
Additionally, guard against potential hazards by using personal protective equipment (PPE) and appropriate tools.
Calibration Cylinder Lifespan
Thanks to their corrosion protection, our aluminum cylinders can last between 10-15 years. However, improper storage conditions and infrequent maintenance and inspections for damage or leaks will lower the lifespan of a calibration cylinder. Properly using, maintaining and storing cylinders ensures optimal performance over time.
Compatible Cylinder Valves and Regulators
Promote safety and functionality by choosing only cylinder valves and regulators that work with the material, pressure rating, connection type, gas in the cylinder and flow requirements. Meritus Gas Partners recommends regulators compatible with refillable aluminum calibration cylinders that match the pressure range of your chosen cylinder.
We stock gas regulators from industry-leading manufacturers such as Hobart, Victor, Emerson, Fisher and Harris Products Group.
