PORTACAL® Nitrogen (N₂) Calibration Gas is designed for the calibration, bump testing, and verification of compatible gas detectors, sensors, and monitoring instruments.
Nitrogen (N₂) is a colorless, odorless, non-flammable gas that makes up the majority of Earth's atmosphere. In gas detection and industrial hygiene applications, nitrogen is commonly used as a zero gas, purge gas, and balance gas for compatible instruments and calibration procedures.
PORTACAL® Nitrogen Calibration Gas provides a known gas source to help verify that compatible gas sensors, portable gas detectors, fixed gas detection systems, and industrial gas monitoring instruments are functioning and responding properly.
