Product Description
6-Gas Hydrocarbon Calibration Gas – 500 ppm Methane, Ethane, Propane, Butane, Pentane & Hexane
This multi-hydrocarbon calibration gas mixture contains six combustible gases at 500 ppm each, balanced with nitrogen to provide a reliable reference gas for calibration and bump testing of combustible gas detection equipment.
The mixture includes methane (CH₄), ethane (C₂H₆), propane (C₃H₈), n-butane (C₄H₁₀), pentane (C₅H₁₂), and hexane (C₆H₁₄). These hydrocarbons represent common combustible gases encountered in petroleum refining, fuel storage operations, chemical processing plants, and industrial manufacturing environments.
The 11L disposable aluminum cylinder with trigger valve provides a compact calibration gas solution ideal for portable gas detectors and routine field testing of combustible gas monitoring systems.
Using a multi-component hydrocarbon calibration mixture helps verify detector response across several hydrocarbon types, ensuring reliable monitoring performance when mixed combustible vapors may be present.
