Product Description
Methane (CH₄) 1.0% / Propane (C₃H₈) 100 PPM Calibration Gas – 66L Cylinder
Routine calibration is essential for ensuring combustible gas detectors respond accurately to hydrocarbon hazards. This methane and propane calibration gas mixture provides controlled concentrations used to verify the response of LEL sensors and portable combustible gas monitors 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 used for detector calibration and bump testing in facilities where combustible gas monitoring is required.
Supplied in a 66L aluminum cylinder with a C-10 valve, this calibration gas is designed for technicians responsible for maintaining portable gas detection instruments used in oil and gas operations, utilities, and industrial maintenance programs.
