NATURAL GAS CALIBRATION STANDARDS

Need Help? 

Scott Specialty Gases produces a comprehensive selection of natural gas Btu calibration gas standards and NGL calibration standards. We use only high-purity, well-characterized raw materials, and document all components through careful laboratory analysis and precise cross-contamination calculation. All calibration gas standards are traceable to reference standards that include NMi Primary Reference Materials. Scott Btu standards are the only calibration gas standards that provide guaranteed ±1% (1 Btu) accuracy for trouble-free, peak performance of today’s generation of analyzers providing ±0.25% and ±0.5% repeatability. Consistency and quality of Scott gas mixtures set the standard in calibration accuracy for all natural gas and hydrocarbon applications.

Scott products and services for natural gas applications include:

Trust Scott's specialty gas products for all of these applications:

  • Pipeline: Online analyzers, lab analyzers and propane/air injection systems.
  • Reduction of Unaccounted for Gas: Using ±1% accurate calibration gas and liquid mixtures.
  • Petrochemical: Raw material analysis for quality assurance.
  • Processing Plant: Process control, acid gas treating/sulfur recovery, dehydrator emissions monitoring, environmental compliance, health and safety, and quality assurance.
  • Wellhead and Logging: Quality assurance, environmental compliance, sample cylinder/sample line cleaning, and health and safety.
  • Utility and Power Plant: Online/lab analyzers for Btu verification.
