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, engineered for calibration, bump testing, detector verification, and preventative maintenance of compatible portable and fixed gas detection systems. Packaged in a 17-liter disposable steel cylinder with a 240 PSI fill pressure and CGA-600 valve connection, this non-reactive calibration gas mixture provides a consistent 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 that monitor methane concentrations. Routine calibration using the correct gas standard helps verify sensor response, identify potential instrument drift, and support reliable methane detection in industrial and occupational safety applications.
Calibration Gas Composition
