Product Description
Methane (CH₄) 5,000 PPM / Propane (C₃H₈) 100 PPM Calibration Gas – 116L Cylinder
Accurate combustible gas monitoring 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 operating in industrial safety environments.
The mixture contains Methane at 5,000 ppm and Propane at 100 ppm balanced in air, providing a dependable calibration reference for technicians performing routine bump testing and detector calibration in facilities where hydrocarbon gas monitoring is required.
The 116L aluminum cylinder with C-10 valve provides extended calibration capacity, making it ideal for maintenance teams, safety managers, and service technicians responsible for maintaining multiple gas detection instruments.
