Ships for the Same Cost as Other Cans!

  • Strong, durable canisters stand up to field conditions.
  • Reliable performance without additional shipping expenses.
  • Available in 1–15 L sizes.

Durability, ease of use, and inertness are among the most important factors customers consider when purchasing new air sampling canisters. Canister weight can also be a concern, so SilcoCan and TO-Can air sampling canisters pack extra strength and reliability into each can. Compared to competitor products, Restek air canisters weigh a mere 320 g (the weight of a smart phone) more, but are stronger and easier to use. Take a closer look at the 320 g difference in Table I: Restek’s bigger, more comfortable-to-grip valve weighs 60 g more, and the larger and easier to read vacuum/pressure gauge accounts for another 10 g, which leaves an extra 250 g of hard-wearing metal that strengthens the sphere and bracket.

So what are the real-world implications of an extra 320 g? Well, you get a stronger, more durable canister that doesn’t cost any more to ship than other canisters. According to expense calculators from major shipping companies, ground postage costs for shipping four canisters would be the same for both sets of canisters. You won’t notice an extra 320 g of weight, but you will benefit from the rugged durability it gives Restek air canisters. Try highly inert SilcoCan canisters or general-purpose TO-Can canisters today!

Table I: A strong, durable air canister from Restek weighs only grams more than similar products and provides extra strength for the same shipping cost.
