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 stable reference mixture for gas detector calibration and performance verification.
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 fuel storage, petrochemical processing, refining operations, and industrial manufacturing environments.
The 120L disposable aluminum cylinder with C-10 valve offers a dependable calibration gas supply for technicians performing combustible gas detector calibration, bump testing, and routine maintenance of gas monitoring equipment.
Using a multi-component hydrocarbon calibration mixture helps verify sensor response across several hydrocarbon types, ensuring reliable detection performance when monitoring mixed combustible vapor environments.
