Calibration Equipment

A gas cylinder with a known concentration of gas appropriate for the range of measurement is needed. Sensors come with preset span gas values appropriate for the measurement range. See Tab. 14 for Default Span Values by Sensor Type. Calibration kits are available from MSA for calibration of the TG5000. The kits come housed in a convenient carrying case and contain all items necessary for a complete and accurate calibration, including a regulator, tubing, and Calibration Caps. See Table 10 to select the appropriate kit for the sensor type. The calibration kit can also be ordered without a gas cylinder.
