Product Description
CH₄ 1.0% (20% LEL) / Nitrogen (N₂) Balance Calibration Gas
Improve gas detector accuracy with CH₄ 1.0% (20% LEL) / Nitrogen (N₂) balance calibration gas, formulated for calibration, bump testing, detector verification, and preventative maintenance of compatible portable and fixed gas detection systems. Supplied in a 103-liter disposable steel cylinder at 1000 PSI with a C-10 valve connection, this non-reactive calibration gas mixture provides a defined methane concentration for verifying sensor response and maintaining dependable detector performance.
Containing 1.0% methane (20% of the Lower Explosive Limit) with nitrogen as the balance gas, this calibration mixture is designed for compatible combustible gas detectors configured to monitor methane. Routine calibration using the appropriate gas standard helps verify sensor response, identify potential instrument drift, and support reliable methane monitoring in industrial and occupational safety applications.
