Gasco Affiliates, LLC, a leading global producer of precision calibration gas, is once again enhancing calibration gas delivery with the launch of the 44, a standard 34-liter cylinder containing 44 liters of precision calibration gas. According to the company, the new 44 features 29 percent more gas than the traditional 34-liter unit, reducing the cost per liter while also extending the life cycle of a standard 34-liter cylinder.

Gasco uses exclusively designed, reinforced, 34-liter aluminum alloy cylinders and applies its proprietary manufacturing process to safely and effectively increase the gas pressure. This process enables the standard 34-liter cylinder to hold 10 additional liters of calibration gas. The 44 holds both pure gases and gas mixtures and is approved for safe transport by the Department of Transportation.

“Gasco is committed to leading the industry with exclusive technologies and innovations – affordable, user friendly products – that surpass marketplace expectations,” said Gasco President Tom Hanway. “Three years ago we introduced our ecosmart 116-liter refillable cylinder, followed shortly thereafter with Bump-It, our handheld unit for bump testing or checking single gas monitors. The 44 is a significant innovation that delivers an additional 10 liters at a better price per liter with all the quality control assurances of Gasco.”
