GASTEC Compressed Breathing Air Measurement Kit CG-1

GASTEC Compressed Breathing Air Measurement Kit CG-1

Simultaneous. Accurate. Life-Critical Air Testing.

The GASTEC CG-1 system is engineered for simple, rapid, and simultaneous measurement of harmful impurities in compressed breathing air supplied from high-pressure cylinders or compressors. It tests for Carbon Monoxide (CO), Carbon Dioxide (CO₂), Water Vapor, and Oil Mist at the same time, ensuring SCBA compliance with international diving, firefighting, and industrial safety standards.

4Simultaneous Contaminants Measured

Simultaneous 4-Gas Detection

Measures CO, CO₂, water vapor, and oil mist at once using a multi-channel manifold.

Zero Power Required

Completely mechanical and pneumatic operation, intrinsically safe for all hazardous environments.

Global Standards Compliance

Verifies air purity against CGA Grade D & E, OSHA, NFPA 1500, and EN 12021 standards.

Quick On-Site Results

Direct-reading colorimetric tubes provide clear, verifiable results in minutes without lab delays.

Rugged All-in-One Case

Housed in an impact-resistant, weatherproof carrying case built for offshore and field duty.

Easy Cylinder Connection

Connects quickly to SCBA bottles, scuba cylinders, and high-pressure compressors via dedicated adaptors.

Simple to Connect. Engineered for Life-Safety Air Checks.

01

Connect to Air Source

Attach the CG-1 pressure regulator and flow system to your compressed air cylinder or compressor manifold.

02

Insert Detector Tubes

Break tips of specified GASTEC tubes (CO, CO₂, H₂O, Oil Mist) and mount them securely in the 4-port holder.

03

Sample & Read Purity

Open flow for calibrated time and read contamination levels directly from millimeter calibrated color stains.

04

Multi-Tube Manifold

Equalizes line flow across all four tube channels for uniform sampling volume.

05

High-Pressure Regulation

Precision regulator safely throttles high-pressure tank pressure down to stable sampling levels.

06

Direct Visual Pass/Fail

Direct scale printing allows immediate on-site compliance determination against legal safety limits.

Commercial & Scuba Diving

Verifies dive air purity against EN 12021 and CGA standards to protect divers from toxic gas hazards.

Fire & Rescue SCBA Refills

Ensures firefighter self-contained breathing apparatus air banks meet NFPA 1500 standards.

Hospital & Medical Compressed Air

Validates medical air compressor feeds for zero toxic CO and low moisture content.

Offshore Oil & Gas Platforms

Conducts regular air quality audits for breathing air cascades and confined space air trailers.

Aviation & Defense Life Support

Maintains strict purity compliance for flight crew oxygen and breathing systems.

Industrial Plant Air Audits

Guarantees supplied-air respirator lines are free from compressor oil mist and toxic combustion gases.

Frequently Asked Questions

The standard CG-1 kit simultaneously tests for Carbon Monoxide (CO), Carbon Dioxide (CO₂), Water Vapor (H₂O), and Oil Mist. An optional Deluxe version also tests Oxygen concentration.
No. The CG-1 is completely pneumatic and mechanical. It relies directly on the air pressure from the compressor or cylinder, making it intrinsically safe in hazardous and offshore environments.
It complies with CGA Grade D and Grade E breathing air requirements, OSHA regulations, NFPA 1500 standards for firefighters, and the European EN 12021 breathing air standard.
Because all 4 tubes sample at the same time, the entire test is completed in the time it takes the longest tube (oil mist at 25 minutes, or CO/CO₂/H₂O in under 4 minutes).
The tubes feature direct-reading colorimetric scales. The length of the color stain corresponds directly to the contaminant concentration, allowing immediate on-site pass/fail verification.
