Nitric Oxide (NO) — Calibration Gas Prices Range $300–800 Per Tank in 2026

MArket Overview

The calibration specialty gas market Continues to expand. According to Global Info Research (GIR), global calibration specialty gas revenue reached approximately US$ 694 million in 2025 and is projected to reach US$ 940 million by 2032, with a CAGR of 4.5% from 2026 to 2032.

According to 360iResearch (March 7, 2026), the broader specialty gas market was estimated at US$ 14.06 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach US$ 15.04 billion in 2026, with a CAGR of 7.93% to reach US$ 24.00 billion by 2032.

Nitric Oxide Calibration Gas Pricing

Nitric oxide calibration gas pricing varies by concentration, purity, and cylinder size:

• Medical device calibration gas tanks range from $300 to $800 per tank, with replacement based on supplier expiration or when pressure falls below 100 kPa (15 psi)

• A typical 30 ppm NO in nitrogen (58L cylinder) from Sensidyne is shipped with a Safety Data Sheet (SDS), with a NIST-traceable calibration certificate available for an additional $50
