Gas calibration standards

We can provide NATA accredited gas reference materials for manufacturing needs such as exhaust and stack testing, workplace and mine safety, and fuel gases including new energy gases.

Our standards and accreditation

We manufacture reference gases to your specified compositions.

We have (NATA) accreditation for:

Types of reference materials

Primary gas reference materials

Primary gas reference materials are our most accurate standards.

We manufacture primary reference materials to analyse gases that include:

  • automotive exhaust
  • workplace and mine safety
  • emissions monitoring
  • ethylene refrigerant mixtures
  • natural gas
  • liquefied natural gas (LNG)
  • coal seam gas
  • liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).

We can also make custom binary or multicomponent mixtures to meet your needs.

Custom calibration standards

We can develop specific gas calibration standards for your specific needs, including standards for:

  • testing natural gas to international standards (GPA 2172, ISO 6976 and ISO 6874, ASTM D1945-14.
  • liquefied natural gas
  • coal seam methane.

We may also supply a different type of gas reference material if requested.

Certified gas reference materials

We can analyse and certify third party gas mixtures and assign the composition, providing traceability to the SI.

Our certified gas reference materials

  • have a guaranteed composition and small uncertainty on low cost commercial mixtures
  • are a cost effective way of delivering international comparability and traceability
  • come in various gas cylinder sizes.

How to order reference materials

To order email us at gas@measurement.gov.au or call us on 02 8467 3534.

Gas testing

We offer a gas testing service where we determine the composition of gas samples relative to our primary reference materials.

Proficiency testing

Proficiency testing is a valuable external quality control tool for laboratories. NMI is an internationally recognised PT provider for chemical and gas measurements.
