Product Description
CH₄ 1.0% (20% LEL) / Nitrogen (N₂) Balance Calibration Gas
Ensure dependable gas detector performance with CH₄ 1.0% (20% LEL) / Nitrogen (N₂) balance calibration gas, formulated for calibration, bump testing, and routine maintenance of portable and fixed gas detection systems. Supplied in a 120-liter aluminum cylinder with a 1050 PSI fill pressure and a C-10 valve connection, this non-reactive calibration gas mixture provides a defined methane concentration for verifying detector response and maintaining sensor accuracy.
Containing 1.0% methane (20% of the Lower Explosive Limit) with nitrogen as the balance gas, this calibration mixture is designed for combustible gas detectors configured to monitor methane. Routine calibration using the appropriate gas concentration helps verify sensor response and ensure instruments perform as expected before use in industrial and occupational environments.
