PORTACAL® Hydrogen Cyanide (HCN) Calibration Gas is designed for the calibration, bump testing, and verification of compatible hydrogen cyanide gas detectors, HCN sensors, and monitoring instruments.

Hydrogen cyanide (HCN) is a colorless, highly toxic, and flammable gas that may be encountered in a variety of industrial and manufacturing environments. HCN is commonly associated with chemical manufacturing, mining and metal processing, plastics and synthetic fiber production, laboratories, and other industrial processes where reliable hydrogen cyanide monitoring may be required.

PORTACAL® Hydrogen Cyanide Calibration Gas provides a known concentration of hydrogen cyanide to help verify that compatible HCN sensors, portable gas detectors, fixed gas detection systems, and industrial gas monitoring instruments are functioning and responding properly.

Calibration Gas

  • Gas: Hydrogen Cyanide (HCN)

  • Gas Type: Reactive Gas

  • Cylinder Material: Aluminum Alloy

  • Valve Inlet: 5/8"-18 UNF (C-10)

  • Regulator: 71-Series

  • Application: Hydrogen cyanide sensor calibration and bump testing

  • Compatible Equipment: Appropriate hydrogen cyanide gas detection and monitoring instruments

Common Applications

This hydrogen cyanide calibration gas is suitable for compatible equipment used in HCN detector calibration, hydrogen cyanide sensor calibration, gas detector bump testing, chemical manufacturing, mining and metal processing, plastics manufacturing, industrial facilities, laboratories, 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.
