Gas Cylinder Sizes


Gas Cylinder Dimensions & Specifications 

Professionals in the gas industry need to ensure their readings remain accurate, whether they use a gas analyzer or detector. Fortunately, the team here at MESA Specialty Gases prides itself on providing customers with a wide variety of these necessary specialty gas and calibration gas cylinders to guarantee accurate readings and stable connections. Since accuracy is key when finding the right size for your new canisters, we’ve included a couple of charts going over some of the standard gas tank sizes for you to compare to the ones you already have.

Be sure to take the time to look at our most common gas cylinder dimensions and specifications available below. From high- to low-pressure cylinders, we have the stats for any kind of natural gas canister you need. Simply find the cylinder designation you need, and go down the line to see what its water capacity, diameter, height, and shipping weight should be.

Of course, these charts might not have all of the information you need to make an informed decision. If you can’t find the exact data you’re searching for, don’t hesitate to contact our customer service representatives about our selection of gas cylinder dimensions and specifications. Simply fill out our contact form, and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible with the answers and clarifications you seek. We want to make sure you get the correct gas cylinder size for your business the first time.

Of course, cylinders are only one part of calibration products. The most important feature is the gas itself. If you are interested in disposable calibration gas, check out the rest of our disposable calibration gas web site for product details. We also offer a stock of BTU specialty gas mixtures, Natural gas standards and RGA mixtures available for immediate delivery. Take a look at our RGA and BTU standards page for details. 

Here at MESA Specialty Gases, we put our all into calibration gases and other products that assist with the usage of calibration gas.
