What Are Refillable Calibration Cylinders?

Refillable calibration cylinders are specifically designed to calibrate instruments for measurement devices related to gas detection. They require calibration gas, which is a gas mixture certified to be in the concentration advertised. This gas, combined with a calibration cylinder, provides a reference point and allows for accurate measuring device adjustments.

Refillable cylinders offer a multitude of benefits, including: 

Lower Long-Term Costs

Reusable cylinders can save you money in the long term because you won’t need to keep purchasing single-use containers.

Environmental Sustainability

By using refillable cylinders, you can naturally create less waste and lower your carbon footprint.

Simpler Management

It’s easier to track what you have when you have fewer cylinders. With reusable cylinders, you can refill as needed and always have accurate records of what’s in use and what’s not. 

Reliability

Refillable cylinders need to be more durable than single-use options as they will experience more use. If maintained correctly, they can last for years. 

Accurate Gas Mixtures for Calibration

Calibration gases are used in various processes and industries that require precise measurements and detection for safety purposes, quality control and regulatory compliance. Inaccurate instrument calibration will result in wrong readings that can cause harm to people. Precision is critical to prevent this.

We verify the accuracy of our gas mixtures and calibration gas cylinder regulators, valves, pressure gauges, outlet fittings and cylinder bodies through strict quality control protocols. Our calibration gas partner, Global Calibration Gases, has an ISO 17025:2017-certified laboratory for testing and calibration. We always adhere to industry standards for accurate mixtures that meet the required specifications for your industry.

ISO 7866 Refillable Aluminum Cylinders

Our refillable cylinders are manufactured to be extremely durable and in compliance with ISO 7866 standards to meet safety, quality and regulatory requirements. We make them out of aluminum because of the advantages it has, such as:

  • Corrosion resistance
  • Excellent strength-to-weight ratio
  • Recyclability
  • Non-toxic
  • Durability and cost-effectiveness

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.

FAQs About Refillable Calibration Cylinders

Take a look at the answers to some common questions about our refillable calibration cylinders. 

How long calibration gas lasts depends on factors like the type of gas, storage conditions, usage and cylinder integrity. They come with expiration dates ranging from six months up to five years. The basis of this expiration date depends on the mixture and type of calibration gas.

Disposable calibration gas comes in single-use cylinders that are meant for users who don’t need calibration gases frequently. Refillable options are for users who require consistent instrument calibration.

Maintain the integrity of your gas mixture by minimizing its exposure to air, conducting regular inspections and maintaining proper storage conditions. Monitor the expiration date and replace it when necessary.
