Principles of Operation

The cylinders of calibration check gas for use with Model R kits are small, lightweight steel containers approximately 10-5/8 inches high and 2-5/8 inches in diameter and, depending upon the individual pressure requirements, contain 16 to 20 liters of a specified gas mixture of a known (+/- 5% tolerance) concentration.

Approvals and Standards

MSA certifies that the gas mixture in the calibration gas cylinders was prepared gravimetrically, using NIST traceable weights. The lot number and nominal value of the gas constituents in percent by volume, percent by mass, PPM mass or volume are specified on the cylinder. Each MSA calibration gas cylinder is shipped with an individual copy of a certificate of analysis.

Product Information

Consists of a four-liter pressurized cylinder of a two percent concentration of methane-in-air, three rubber bladders which can hold approximately 100 milliliters of gas each, a bladder coupler, a two-inch tube, a hose adapter gasket, pinch clamp and instructions.

Principles of Operation

For MSA instrument calibration, each cylinder lists the proper instrument response settings. For calibration of non-MSA instruments, each calibration cylinder lists the actual gas fill in the cylinder. When using MSA calibration gas to calibrate non-MSA instruments, you must refer to the manufacturer's instruction manual for proper instrument response.

Principles of Operation

The Galaxy Automated Test System works without the touch of a single button. Simply place the instrument in the test stand and the system performs the test automatically; no user intervention is required. The Galaxy System is completely standalone; it does not require a computer or network interface for any mode of operation.

For the fully-featured version of Galaxy Automated Test System, an optional network interface is available for either wired (Ethernet) or wireless (802.11b) networks. The Galaxy interface for data retrieval and reporting is extremely easy to use. Any web Navigator can be used to access the data of a network-enabled Galaxy Automated Test System. Calibration and bump check records, due date for instrument calibration, and the ability to email MSA directly for support are just a few of the capabilities of this interface.

Product Information

The Galaxy Automated Test System is an easy-to-use, versatile and durable calibration and test system that uses the latest technology to provide simple, reliable performance in a design that withstands the harshest of environments.

Principles of Operation

Designed for use with any MSA Model RP calibration cylinder except chlorine and ammonia, the Gas Miser Demand Regulator features an automatic on/off valve that releases gas only on demand, so only the amount of gas needed to calibrate your MSA instrument is delivered. When the calibration is complete, the Gas Miser Demand Regulator shuts off automatically.

Product Information

The most advanced, yet simple-to-use calibration gas delivery system available. Made of nickel-plated brass and polished aluminum (especially important for reactive gases), the Gas Miser Demand Regulator can supply gas flow from 0.1 lpm to 3.0 lpm. For user convenience, this regulator can stay connected to the RP cylinder where it remains in a ready state, making it ideal for such fixed installations as work benches and calibration stations. The Gas Miser Demand Regulator also eliminates the need to change regulators to accommodate different instruments or flow rates. Supplied with calibration tubing and special fitting.

Product Information

The Gas Miser Manifold is not only a cylinder holder but also incorporates a four-station "bump test" or calibration manifold.

Principles of Operation

Works with Model RP and Econo-Cal Calibration Cylinders and Gas Miser Demand Regulator on any pumped or aspirated instrument. The manifold will supply the correct amount of gas required and will bump test or calibrate up to four instruments simultaneously. Gas Miser Demand Regulator sold separately.

TIM® System-The Total Instrument Manager

Principles of Operation

To be sure that the TIM System can be easily enhanced for years to come, it is designed to operate on a standard IBM-compatible personal computer. Minimum requirements are a Pentium processor, 16 MB RAM, a 30 MB hard drive, and a 3.5 1.44 MB floppy drive. The software is compatible with Windows 95. A computer is required to operate the system at each local site, but a single computer can run up to four TCCs.
