Calibration is key to producing good quality information from any environmental monitor. Our range of calibration devices is designed to provide you with the highest level of confidence when calibrating flows in gas and particle samplers and monitors or concentrations in gas analysers. All devices and are traceable to international primary or transfer standards. They are designed for both field and laboratory use and are robust and reliable in operation.

The BGI TetraCal® is the first and only volumetric continuous flow calibration /audit device which gives a direct indication of volumetric flow rate, standard flow rate, barometric pressure (both mm/Hg & mb), and ambient temperature in one instrument. It was developed for use with all types of air samplers in the 0.1 to 60 lpm range.
It is the only field audit / calibration device which meets the same temperature criteria as EPA and European designated samplers themselves. The temperature range is -30° to 55° C (EPA requires up to 40° C).
Std temperature can be at zero or twenty degrees C. (Please state at order)
The heart of the TetraCal® is a venturi which is superior to an orifice in that it offers no sharp edges which can be damaged and a 90% recovery of the measurement pressure drop, important when calibrating some forms of speciation samplers or other critical orifice controlled devices. Because flow through the instrument is uninterupted, our graphic software provides a continuous output display of all functions.
The TetraCal covers flows from 0.1 lpm to 30 lpm
The TetraCal Ultra covers flows from 0.1 lpm to 60 lpm (Ideal for European Std Samplers @ 2.3m3/hr)

The BGI DeltaCal is the first and only continuous volumetric flow calibration/audit device which gives a direct indication of volumetric flow rate, standard flow rate, barometric pressure (both mm/Hg & mb), ambient temperature and filter temperature in one instrument. It was developed for use with U.S. EPA PM2.5 designated samplers and their PM10 derivatives. With an accessory adapter it is usable with any air sampler in the 1.5 to 19.5 Lpm range. The DC100 Euro version has a range of 10-60 Lpm.
It is the only field audit/calibration device which meets the same temperature criteria as the EPA and Europeean designated samplers themselves. The temperature range is -30° to 55° C (EPA requires up to 40° C).

The Thermo Model 146i is a microprocessor controlled gas calibration system featuring a gas dilution system with optional gas phase titration and permeation systems. The system is able to dilute concentration gas from cylinders and dynamically produce low concentration output gas at over 1000:1 dilution ratio. The optional gas phase titration system (GPT) is used for oxidising NO to NO2 by generating ozone and mixing it with NO. A permeation oven option allows generation of many gases available from permeation devices such as benzene, toluene, xylenes, NO2, SO2 etc.

The Model 408 NO Calibration Source is a highly portable source of nitric oxide in the range 0-1000 ppb. The Model 408 may be used to calibrate any nitric oxide monitor, including those based on chemiluminescence. In addition to the calibration of instruments used for air monitoring, an important application is the calibration of nitric oxide breath analyzers such as the Aerocrine NIOX® and NIOX MINO® used for diagnosis and evaluation of asthma patients. The NO Cal Source produces nitric oxide in NO-scrubbed ambient air by photolysis of nitrous oxide provided by small N2O ("Whippit")cartridges or from a lecture bottle. The calibration gas is supplied at an output flow rate of 3 L/min. The instrument may be programmed to output a series of up to 10 NO concentration steps with a chosen time interal.

The Model 306 Ozone Calibration Source is a highly portable ozone transfer standard that may used to calibrate any ozone monitor or sensor. Ozone is generated at any chosen concentration in the range 0-1000 ppb in ozone-scrubbed ambient air at a volumetric flow rate of 3 L/min. No external air source is requried. The instrument may be programmed to output a series of up to 10 ozone concentration steps with a chosen time interal. The Ozone Calibration Source is provided with a NIST-traceable calibration, and the menu allows the user to calibrate the output to their own reference instrument. This Ozone Cal Source is particularly useful for calibrating networks of ozone monitors in the field.
Air Monitors can supply and maintain your gas cylinder requirements, including regulators, fittings and tubing.
We recommend BOC and Air Liquide gas products and are able to deliver many specialist gas mixtures from stock or on short notice.
