Letter from the President:

If you have made it this far then you are obviously very interested in learning about better calibration techniques for gas detection.  That was exactly my goal prior to starting Advanced Calibration Designs (ACD).  While working in the engineering sales department of a major gas detection company, I experienced tremendous frustration from end users trying to find dependable calibration standards, particularly for toxic, corrosive gases.  Many times these standards were either unusable or even nonexistent.

ACD was founded in 1988 by a small group of like minded, dedicated individuals.  Our goal was to research, develop and manufacture dependable, accurate, reliable and affordable gas calibration standards.  In doing so, we have become experts and leaders in the calibration industry.  We continue to improve our products and services while reducing our costs to the customer.

ACD manufactures hand held electrochemical gas generators that offer tremendous advantages over our competitor's products.  Our instruments are small, light weight, durable and dependable.  Because the gas is generated electrochemically as needed, not stored until used, our instruments do not degrade over time.  Our instruments are safe to ship, use, store and dispose of.   Our instruments save the customer time and money.  Our instruments are better because you demand the best.

ACD enters its twentieth year in business the same way as its first.  Although our instruments for chlorine, chlorine dioxide, hydrogen cyanide and hydrogen sulfide are known world-wide, there are still many more gases that we continue to work on.  We are currently researching new methods of generation that will create a whole new family of gases including ammonia, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide.  All of these instruments will be the best method possible for calibrating their respective gas detection sensor.

If you are responsible for calibrating your company’s gas detection system, you owe it to yourself and your coworkers to use the best equipment available to maintain the safety of your working environment.  We think we offer such equipment and we invite you to try it today.  If you have any questions on our technology, our products, our people or our company, please feel free to contact me.

Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.
