Description
Carbon Monoxide (CO) Calibration Gas for Detector and Safety System Calibration
This Carbon Monoxide (CO) calibration gas is available in 50 ppm and 100 ppm concentrations for accurate calibration of fixed and portable gas detection systems. Supplied in 103-liter cylinders with nitrogen balance gas, both options provide consistent reference concentrations for routine CO sensor testing, alarm verification, and industrial safety programs.
Carbon monoxide monitoring is critical in parking structures, boiler and mechanical rooms, combustion environments, tunnels, industrial facilities, and other enclosed spaces where incomplete combustion can create hazardous conditions. These calibration gases support systems used in gas leak detection, ventilation control, workplace exposure monitoring, and gas life safety systems.
Calibration Profile: Carbon Monoxide (CO) Gas Options
Choose between standard and higher-range carbon monoxide calibration points based on your detector range, alarm settings, maintenance procedure, and monitoring environment.
Standard Range
Higher Range
103L
Best Fit Applications
- Routine carbon monoxide detector calibration
- Parking garage and tunnel ventilation monitoring
- Boiler room and combustion-system safety checks
- Industrial exposure and workplace safety programs
- Portable and fixed CO detector verification
Technical note: The 50 ppm option is suited to standard CO response verification, while 100 ppm provides a stronger calibration point for higher-range detectors, industrial monitoring programs, and systems configured around elevated alarm thresholds.

How to Choose the Right Carbon Monoxide Calibration Gas
Select 50 ppm for standard CO detector calibration, routine maintenance, and systems using lower or moderate alarm points. Choose 100 ppm when your detector has a broader operating range, requires a stronger response check, or is used in industrial and combustion environments with higher calibration thresholds. Always follow the detector manufacturer’s specified span concentration whenever one is provided.
Available Carbon Monoxide Gas Concentrations
