Product Description
Methane (CH₄) 1.0% / Propane (C₃H₈) 100 PPM Calibration Gas – 116L Cylinder
This calibration gas mixture contains Methane (CH₄) 1.0% and Propane (C₃H₈) 100 PPM balanced in Nitrogen, packaged in a 116L aluminum cylinder pressurized to 1000 PSI with a C-10 valve connection. The blend is engineered for accurate calibration, bump testing, and routine maintenance of combustible gas detection equipment.
Methane and propane mixtures are commonly used to validate sensor response in environments where flammable gas monitoring and hydrocarbon detection are critical for workplace safety. Routine calibration ensures detectors respond accurately to gas concentrations and maintain compliance with industrial safety monitoring protocols.
The lightweight disposable aluminum cylinder supports convenient field deployment while delivering stable gas concentrations required for precise calibration procedures.
