PORTACAL® 99.99% Argon (Ar) Calibration Gas is designed for the calibration, bump testing, and verification of compatible fixed and portable argon gas detectors, sensors, and monitoring instruments.

Argon (Ar) is a colorless, odorless inert gas commonly used in a variety of industrial and manufacturing applications. It is widely used as a shielding gas for welding and cutting, as a protective atmosphere when working with reactive materials, and in the production of electronics and semiconductor materials. Argon is also used in lighting, fluorescent and glow tubes, lasers, and crystal-growing processes involving silicon and germanium.

PORTACAL® Argon Calibration Gas provides a known 99.99% by volume argon concentration to help verify that compatible gas detection and monitoring instrumentation is functioning and responding properly.
