Overview
Start with the measurement you need.
From a refrigeration plant to a beverage production line, each measurement has a different purpose. CAC Gas helps specify reference gases for the detectors and analysers used by Australian food and beverage facilities.
Tell us the instrument, gas specification and expected usage. Our team can help identify a suitable reference and gas delivery arrangement for your application.
Applications
Match the reference to the task.
Choose the mixture, concentration and delivery conditions for the specific detector, analyser or method.
Beverage & process analysis
Gas references for carbon dioxide, oxygen and sulphur dioxide measurement where these are part of the process.
Worker safety instruments
Calibration and bump-test supply for confined-space instruments and gas monitors used around production facilities.
Gas & supply options
Define your gas specification.
These examples are a starting point for an enquiry. Exact composition, certification, packaging and current availability are confirmed for the selected product.
| Reference or supply option | Typical measurement task | What to specify |
|---|---|---|
| Ammonia reference gas | Refrigeration detector calibration | Confirm sensor range, gas concentration and compatible materials. |
| Refrigerant standards | Refrigerant leak-detector testing | Identify the exact refrigerant and approved test gas. |
| CO2 / O2 mixtures | Process and atmosphere analyser checks | State whether the instrument measures ppm or volume percent. |
| SO2 and multi-gas options | Process instruments and worker safety monitors | Select each mixture for the device and application. |
Ask about traceable, certified and accredited reference options where required. Accreditation and certificate scope apply to the selected product and producer.

Tell us the actual refrigerant and detector model. A refrigerant trade name or a generic request for “cooling gas” does not define a suitable calibration standard.
Include your delivery location and required date so cylinder selection, expected use and supply arrangements can be discussed together.
Common questions
Before you specify a gas.
Are these gases supplied for food production?
This page concerns reference gases for instrument testing and analysis. If you need gas for direct use in the product or process, specify that separately so CAC Gas can confirm suitability.
Can I request a custom gas mixture?
Send the required components, concentrations, balance gas and uncertainty or certification requirements. CAC Gas will confirm mixture feasibility, cylinder options, shelf life and lead time with your quotation.
What should I include in my enquiry?
Include the instrument make and model, analytical or test procedure, gas specification, usage, cylinder connection and flow requirements. Add the delivery location and required date so the team can prepare a suitable quotation.
