Product Description
Methane (CH₄) 1.0% / Propane (C₃H₈) 100 PPM Calibration Gas – 120L Cylinder
This calibration gas mixture contains Methane (CH₄) 1.0% and Propane (C₃H₈) 100 PPM balanced in Nitrogen, packaged in a 120L disposable aluminum cylinder pressurized to 1050 PSI with a C-10 valve connection. The blend is formulated for accurate calibration, bump testing, and performance verification of combustible and hydrocarbon gas detection equipment.
Methane and propane mixtures are commonly used to verify detector response in environments where flammable gas monitoring and leak detection are critical to worker safety. Routine calibration ensures sensors respond correctly to combustible gas concentrations and maintain compliance with industrial safety standards.
The lightweight aluminum cylinder allows convenient transport and field use while providing stable concentration levels required for reliable calibration procedures.
