Product Description
Methane (CH₄) 5,000 PPM / Propane (C₃H₈) 100 PPM Calibration Gas – 60L Cylinder
Portable combustible gas detectors rely on routine calibration to ensure accurate detection of hydrocarbon hazards. This methane and propane calibration gas mixture provides controlled concentrations used for verifying the response of LEL sensors and portable combustible gas monitors used in industrial safety programs.
The mixture contains Methane at 5,000 ppm and Propane at 100 ppm balanced in air, providing a stable reference gas for technicians performing bump testing and detector calibration across worksites where combustible gas monitoring is required.
Supplied in a 60L aluminum cylinder with a C-10 valve, this calibration gas supports reliable safety testing for field technicians, industrial safety teams, and maintenance crews.
