Products & Services
- NPL is developing analytical techniques and traceable standards to underpin measurements of non-conventional gases such as biogas, coal bed methane, coal mine methane and hydrogen-enriched natural gas.
- NPL offers a certification service to speciality gas producers and end users, which ensures their gas mixtures are traceable to international standards.
- The NPL Trace Gas Analysis Facility is capable of providing traceable measurements of the key contaminant species found in high-purity gases.
- NPL has developed various software programs for use when preparing and analysing gas mixtures.
- Standard gas mixtures are an accurate and cost-effective method for calibrating air quality monitors. They are stable and provide a repeatable reference concentration that can be used for regular calibrations.
- Standard gas mixtures provide an accurate and cost-effective method for calibrating evidential breath-alcohol analysers. They are stable and provide a repeatable reference concentration that can be used for regular calibrations.
- Standard gas mixtures provide and accurate and cost-effective methods for calibrating stack gas emission monitors.
- Standard gas mixtures are an accurate and cost-effective method for calibrating vehicle exhaust monitors. They are stable and provide a repeatable reference concentration that can be used for regular calibrations.
- NPL provides primary reference natural gas and sulphur odorant mixtures (PRGMs).
- NPL provides high-accuracy primary reference gas mixtures (PRGMs) for the analysis of a range of refinery gases (including coke oven gas, reformer gas, blast furnace gas, etc).
- NPL provides reference liquid hydrocarbon standard mixtures for sale. These include liquefied petroleum gas, liquefied natural gas, etc.
- Multi-component gas mixtures are the quickest and easiest way to calibrate measurements of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in ambient air and to help identify ambient VOC species.
- Calibration of gas dilutors and flow control and measurement devices is a cost-effective way of confirming accurate operation.
