AWOcal canisters – speciality gases in compact form
AWOcal canisters are lightweight, disposable and easily transportable containers for special blend and pure gases, especially for calibration and measurement needs.
They are an excellent solution for situations where:
- A small amount of gas is needed
- Mobility is important
- Avoid handling and returning rental bottles
The gases used in AWOcal canisters are manufactured to the same uncompromising quality criteria as gases packaged in larger cylinders. In addition to the compact size, you get exactly the same clean and reliable gas.
Applications of AWOcal canisters
AWOcal canisters are commonly used to:
- Control of flammable and toxic gases
- Emission measurements and environmental monitoring
- Calibrating the alcometers
- Gas chromatography
- Control of gas content in food packaging
- In the analysis of medical gases
The main advantages of AWOcal canisters are their ease of use, portability and a wide range of well-defined gas mixtures for different applications. The canisters are disposable, so there are no rental costs. After use, they can be recycled at a standard metal recycling facility, as long as they are first depressurised. The canister does not have to be returned and can be disposed of anywhere.

Long shelf life and correct use ensure quality
AWOcal canisters have a guaranteed shelf life of up to five years, depending on the mixture. This is made possible by a careful pre-treatment process that removes unwanted reactive elements from the canister. To benefit from this long shelf-life, it is essential to follow the instructions for connecting the pressure relief devices to the canister
AWOcal canisters are available with a wide range of pressure regulators and valves, either with fixed or adjustable flow. The range also includes trigger valves, particularly suitable for checking and calibrating alkometers and gas detectors.
