What Is It?

This product is a precision single‑gas calibration mixture containing 10 PPM Hydrogen Cyanide (HCN) balanced in Nitrogen, packaged in a 34‑liter aluminum cylinder with a C‑10 (5/8"-18 UNF) valve inlet. It is used to calibrate HCN‑sensing gas detectors, ensuring accurate sensor response and compliance with safety standards. It is also NIST‑traceable and manufactured in the USA.

How Is It Used?

• Connect a C‑10 compatible regulator to the cylinder (fixed‑flow or demand‑flow regulators are commonly used with Gasco cylinders).
• Attach the regulator to the gas detector’s calibration adapter.
• Flow the certified HCN mixture to perform a span calibration or bump test, verifying sensor accuracy and alarm response.
• Follow the detector manufacturer’s calibration procedure for proper exposure time and expected ppm values.

This ensures the detector correctly identifies low‑level HCN, a highly toxic gas

Who Uses It?

• First responders, HazMat teams, and fire departments requiring toxic gas readiness
• Industrial hygienists monitoring chemical processes
• Laboratory and research facilities using HCN detectors
• Chemical manufacturing and refinery operations
• Its compatibility with any OEM HCN‑capable detector makes it widely used across safety‑critical industries.

Maintenance Information

• Store cylinders in a cool, dry, ventilated area, away from heat sources.
• Track expiration dates, lot numbers, and NIST traceable COA documentation, which Gasco cylinders include.
• Inspect the regulator and valve threads before each use.
• Replace cylinder when empty (non‑refillable).
• Follow instrument manufacturer calibration intervals—typically before each shift for toxic gas applications.

What Is It Used With?

This calibration gas can be used with:

• Any gas detector designed to measure Hydrogen Cyanide (HCN).
• C‑10 compatible regulators, including Gasco 70‑Series fixed‑flow, Dial‑A‑Flow adjustable regulators, and demand‑flow regulators.

What Material Is It Made From?

• Cylinder: Durable aluminum alloy, lightweight and corrosion‑resistant.
• Valve: C‑10 (5/8"-18 UNF) threaded valve.
