How to Select the Right CO₂ Calibration Gas
Choose a CO₂ calibration concentration that aligns with your instrument range, control strategy, and target measurement environment. A 2.5% volume blend is typically used for higher-range calibration needs, especially where ventilation control, industrial process monitoring, or controlled-environment validation requires a stronger reference point.
Why Use CO₂ Calibration Gas?
Accurate CO₂ measurement is critical in environments where ventilation, occupancy, and air quality must be controlled. Calibration gas ensures sensors provide reliable readings, preventing false alarms or undetected unsafe conditions. Regular calibration also extends sensor lifespan and maintains compliance with industry standards.
