Certified Test Gas for Accurate Results

Test gas is the one ingredient that makes bump tests and calibration actually work. It comes as single gases or precise gas mixtures, supplied in cylinders matched to a defined concentration, so your gas detector is checked against exactly the reference point it needs.


Hiring your test gas rather than keeping your own stock on the shelf comes with some real everyday benefits:

  • No storage costs: you simply hire what you need, exactly when you need it
  • Ready when you are: every cylinder arrives tested and good to go, so nothing holds up your work
  • Broad compatibility: works with Dräger gas detectors and calibration stations, plus many other systems
  • Flexible for any job: perfect for a one-off service visit, routine maintenance or a short-term project


Each cylinder comes with a clear shelf life, usually somewhere between 12 and 36 months depending on the gas type and concentration, with the exact expiry date printed on the label. Keep test gas somewhere dry and well ventilated, away from direct sunlight or heat, ideally at room temperature unless the label says otherwise, and always follow the storage instructions and safety data sheet for that particular gas.


Need the equipment to put it to use? Take a look at our Test and Calibration Stations to find the right bump test or calibration station for your gas detectors.

Test gas is matched to the specific gas or gas mixture, and the concentration, that your detector or calibration station needs to be checked against. Our team can help you match the right test gas to your equipment.
A single test gas contains one gas at a defined concentration, while a mixed test gas combines several gases in one cylinder, allowing you to test a multi-gas detector for several substances at once.
Yes. Test gas is offered as its own category, so you can hire it independently for use with equipment you already have, or alongside a bump test or calibration station from our range.
Each test gas cylinder comes with label instructions and a safety data sheet, which should always be observed for safe storage and use.
Hiring test gas is designed to cover temporary needs, projects and short-notice requirements, so you are not left waiting on stock you do not usually keep in-house.
