Product Description
Methane (CH₄) 1.0% / Propane (C₃H₈) 100 PPM Calibration Gas – 60L Cylinder
Reliable combustible gas detection depends on routine calibration using stable reference mixtures. This methane and propane calibration gas blend provides controlled concentrations used to verify the response of LEL sensors and portable combustible gas detectors used in industrial safety programs.
The mixture contains Methane at 1.0% and Propane at 100 ppm balanced in nitrogen, providing a stable reference gas for technicians performing detector calibration and bump testing in environments where combustible gas monitoring is required.
Supplied in a 60L aluminum cylinder with a C-10 valve, this calibration gas is well suited for industrial safety teams and maintenance technicians responsible for maintaining portable gas detection instruments across facilities and worksites.
