CALGAZ
Calgaz & GASCO Brand Unification
Celebrating 50 Years of Global Leadership in Calibration Gas
The Announcement
We are proud to announce the official unification of our primary manufacturing partner’s global business operations: GASCO is now transitioning under the unified CALGAZ banner.
Coinciding with Calgaz's 50th anniversary, this integration consolidates five decades of industry-leading manufacturing, cylinder innovation, and supply across more than 120 countries into one unified global brand.
What This Means for Our Customers
-
Same Exact Standards & Facilities: The precision blending processes, advanced analytical instrumentation, and stringent ISO/NIST-traceable quality control you rely on remain completely unchanged.
-
Direct Form, Fit & Function: All standard cylinder sizes (including 10L, 17L, 34L, 58L, 103L, and 116L) and valve connections remain 100% compatible with your existing regulators and docking stations.
-
Seamless SKU Transition: Product labels and paperwork will progressively feature the Calgaz brand name. Your current part numbers, blend ratios, and analytical specifications transition directly without interruption.
-
Superior Analytical Expertise: Backed by decades of combined expertise spanning portable monitors, fixed detection arrays, process gas chromatographs, and photoionization detectors (PID).
Cal Gas Direct Incorporated is an Official Authorized Distributor.
As the brand transitions to Calgaz, beware of unauthorized third-party sellers marketing uncertified "equivalents" or grey-market cylinders that bypass strict quality controls. When you order through Cal Gas Direct, you are guaranteed factory-fresh, genuine cylinders manufactured under strict domestic quality oversight.
-
Analytical Testing-
GASCO performs an analytical test for each four-gas or reactive gas mixture before it is labeled and shipped to our customer. A Certificate of Analysis accompanies each and every cylinder shipped with the actual analytical results. There is no batch testing of any reactive gas mixtures. All analytical testing is verified against NIST standards.
-
NIST Standards-
Unlike other disposable calibration gas companies, GASCO utilizes a variety of specialty gas companies who have excellent reputations for creating precision gas NIST standards. By utilizing and comparing a variety of specialty gas manufacturers, Gasco insures that our accuracy and measuring tolerances do not vary over a period of time.
-
Original Equipment Manufactures- (OEMs)
Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) do not make their own gas. We provide GASCO Calibration gas equivalents for OEM calibration gas products. We do not sell the Original Manufacturer product but provide a part number for reference and easy searching capabilities. The vast majority of gas detection company’s purchase and private label their calibration gas from one company. In doing so they are depending on the analytical capabilities of one company that utilizes its own NIST standards to verify the accuracy and quality of their disposable gas mixtures. All of the gas detection smart sensors and the software utilized in their systems are based upon one company’s analytical capabilities. Should the gas providers quality and accuracy shift from an analytical standpoint the gas detection companies algorithms and sensor calibration can be incorrect. It is a common misconception that if you buy a certain brand instrument, you then have to buy that brand of calibration gas. (OEMs) are resellers, they simply buy gas from a supplier and it sits on their shelf until it is sold. Over time the calibration gas in those cylinders becomes less fresh, and less accurate.
-
Third Party Calibration- (GASCO)
Purchasing Calibration Gas from a third party such as GASCO provides the customer with the assurance that their instrument was calibrated correctly at the factory and the calibration they are now performing is true and accurate. GASCO's Calibration Gas is made Fresh, with the shortest lead time, highest product quality, and top notch customer service to support the product.
