PORTACAL® Sulfur Dioxide (SO₂) Calibration Gas is designed for the calibration, bump testing, and verification of compatible sulfur dioxide gas detectors, SO₂ sensors, and monitoring instruments.

Sulfur dioxide (SO₂) is a colorless, toxic gas with a strong, irritating odor commonly produced by the combustion of sulfur-containing fuels and various industrial processes. It may be encountered in power generation, petroleum refining, metal processing and smelting, pulp and paper production, chemical manufacturing, wastewater treatment, and other industrial environments where accurate sulfur dioxide monitoring may be required.

PORTACAL® Sulfur Dioxide Calibration Gas provides a known concentration of sulfur dioxide to help verify that compatible SO₂ sensors, portable gas detectors, fixed gas detection systems, and industrial gas monitoring instruments are functioning and responding properly.

Calibration Gas

  • Gas: Sulfur Dioxide (SO₂)

  • Gas Type: Reactive Gas

  • Cylinder Material: Aluminum Alloy

  • Valve Inlet: 5/8"-18 UNF (C-10)

  • Regulator: 71-Series

  • Application: Sulfur dioxide sensor calibration and bump testing

  • Compatible Equipment: Appropriate sulfur dioxide gas detection and monitoring instruments

Common Applications

This sulfur dioxide calibration gas is suitable for compatible equipment used in SO₂ detector calibration, sulfur dioxide sensor calibration, gas detector bump testing, combustion and emissions monitoring, power generation, petroleum refining, metal processing and smelting, pulp and paper facilities, chemical manufacturing, industrial hygiene, environmental monitoring, occupational exposure monitoring, and workplace safety applications.

Always verify the required gas concentration, cylinder connection, flow rate, and regulator compatibility for your specific gas detection instrument before use.

Cylinder Material Notice

Steel cylinders are for non-reactive calibration gases only. Aluminum cylinders are for reactive calibration gases only, regardless of cylinder size. Please verify the gas type and cylinder material when selecting your calibration gas.

Tip: Check the Specifications tab for a visual chart of available cylinder sizes, materials, pressures, dimensions, valve inlets, and regulator compatibility.
