Calibration Gases
Calibration Gases and Specialty Calibration Gases
Cal Gas Direct Incorporated has the largest selection of Calibration Gas in the United States of America. With well over 100,000 Products available we are not only the largest we are also the low price leader of Calibration Gas and Specialty Calibration Gas. We are often copied but our products/service/pricing can not be duplicated. Our Calibration Gases are Made Proudly in the United States By GASCO Affiliates LLC. Cal Gas Direct Incorporated is a Authorized Distributor of GASCO Calibration Gas products. We ship all throughout the United States and have production facilities strategically located in Oldsmar Florida, or Pasadena Texas allowing for quick efficient shipments to your geographical location.
GASCO is the leading and only independent manufacturer of Precision Calibration Gas Mixtures. Gasco has the capability of providing a wide range of simple mixtures such as ultra high purity Nitrogen, as well as complex four gas mixtures and highly reactive gas mixtures.
Cal Gas Direct Incorporated provides the largest selection of OEM Calibration Gas Equivalents. We provide these cross reference numbers to allow our customers to easily find their needed calibration gas for their monitors/detectors. Many OEMS have stopped producing their own gas and have long lead times, so it is essential we can provide these gases to our customers accurately and in a timely manner. Our OEM Calibration Gases are made by GASCO and not by the Original Equipment Manufacture's (OEM) themselves.
Many Companies will claim to have GASCO Calibration gas or even offer a "GASCO equivalent". However with the largest selection in the USA and our low prices, Cal Gas Direct Incorporated ensures that you will not have to settle for substitutes or "GASCO equivalents".

Calibration Gas Safety & Liability Disclaimer
Professional Use Only: Products and information on this site are intended for industrial and commercial safety applications. They are not intended for consumer or residential use.
Compliance: Users are solely responsible for complying with all local, state, and federal regulations regarding the transport, storage, usage, and disposal of compressed gas cylinders.
No Warranty on Interpretation: While we strive for accuracy, Cal Gas Direct Incorporated makes no guarantees regarding the completeness or accuracy of technical data on this site. Final verification of gas concentration, shelf-life, and compatibility rests entirely with the end-user.
Limitation of Liability: In no event shall Cal Gas Direct Incorporated be held liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages (including, but not limited to, equipment damage or personal injury) resulting from the use, misuse, or reliance on calibration gases or information provided herein.
Proper storage for multiple CALGAZ/GASCO calibration gas cylinders comes down to temperature control, ventilation, physical security, and regulatory compliance (OSHA/CGA standard guidelines).
Even though non-refillable CALGAZ/GASCO bottles are smaller and lighter than standard bulk industrial tanks, they are still high-pressure compressed gas vessels and must be handled with the same core safety precautions.
1. Temperature Control & Environment
-
Keep under 125° Fahrenheit: Never store cylinders in direct sunlight, hot vehicles, or near heat sources (radiators, electrical panels, hot water heaters). High heat causes internal pressure to rise drastically, which can trigger the internal safety relief disk to vent.
-
Avoid Freezing Conditions: Keep Storage above 35° Fahrenheit: Cold temperatures can cause heavy components in certain multi-gas mixtures (like hydrogen sulfide or hydrocarbons) to condense or separate out of the balance gas, throwing off your calibration concentration accuracy until brought back up to room temp.
-
Keep Dry: Store off wet ground and away from high-moisture/corrosive areas to protect the aluminum/steel bodies and valve threads from surface rust and valve contamination.
2. Airflow & Ventilation
-
Store in a Well-Ventilated Space: Never store cylinders in unventilated, sealed enclosures like tight utility closets, small cabinets, or unvented lockers.
-
Prevent Asphyxiation / Gas Buildup: Most calibration gases are balanced in Nitrogen. A leaking cylinder in a tiny, unvented space can silently displace oxygen or create a localized hazard.
3. Physical Security & Organization
-
Remove Regulators: Never store cylinders with regulators attached. Always close/remove the regulator when the bottle is not actively in service to prevent accidental valve weeping and threads binding over time.
-
Prevent Tip-Overs & Falls: Secure cylinders upright in dedicated wall brackets, floor racks, or multi-bottle storage trays so they cannot roll, fall off shelves, or strike each other.
-
Segregate Full vs. Empty: Keep depleted cylinders clearly marked and separated from fresh stock so empty bottles aren't mistakenly grabbed for field calibrations.
