Product Description
CH₄ 1.0% (20% LEL) / Nitrogen (N₂) Balance Calibration Gas
Maintain reliable 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 a 116-liter aluminum 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 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 concentration helps verify sensor response, reduce the risk of instrument drift, and support dependable methane monitoring in industrial and occupational environments.
