Product Description
Methane (CH₄) 5,000 PPM / Propane (C₃H₈) 100 PPM Calibration Gas – 120L Cylinder
Reliable 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 used in industrial safety programs.
The mixture contains Methane at 5,000 ppm and Propane at 100 ppm balanced in air, providing a dependable reference gas for technicians performing routine detector calibration and bump testing in environments where hydrocarbon gases may be present.
Supplied in a 120L aluminum cylinder with a C-10 valve, this larger-capacity cylinder is well suited for maintenance teams, safety programs, and service technicians performing frequent detector calibration across multiple instruments or worksites.
