Product Description
Methane (CH₄) 5,000 PPM / Propane (C₃H₈) 100 PPM Calibration Gas – 66L Cylinder
Accurate detection of combustible gases requires regular calibration using stable reference mixtures. This Methane and Propane calibration gas blend provides controlled concentrations used to verify the response of combustible gas sensors and LEL gas detectors in industrial safety monitoring programs.
Supplied in a 66L aluminum cylinder with a C-10 valve, this mixture is commonly used for routine bump testing and calibration of portable gas detectors used to monitor methane, propane, and other combustible hydrocarbons in hazardous environments.
The balanced mixture helps ensure gas monitors respond properly to lower explosive limit (LEL) conditions, supporting reliable safety monitoring across industrial worksites.
