Product Description
CH₄ 1.0% (20% LEL) / Nitrogen (N₂) Balance Calibration Gas
Verify gas detector performance 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 an 11-liter disposable aluminum cylinder at 140 PSI with a trigger valve, this non-reactive calibration gas mixture provides a defined methane concentration for checking sensor response and maintaining detector accuracy.
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 with the appropriate gas standard helps verify sensor response, identify potential instrument drift, and support dependable methane monitoring in industrial and occupational safety applications.
