Product Description
6-Gas Hydrocarbon Calibration Gas – Methane, Ethane, Propane, Butane, Pentane & Hexane (500 ppm Each)
This multi-component hydrocarbon calibration gas mixture contains six combustible gases at 500 ppm each, balanced with nitrogen for stable 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 refining, petrochemical processing, fuel storage, and industrial manufacturing environments.
The 130L disposable aluminum cylinder with C-10 valve provides a reliable calibration gas supply for industrial safety technicians performing combustible gas detector calibration, bump testing, and routine gas monitor maintenance.
Using a multi-hydrocarbon calibration mixture helps verify sensor response across multiple hydrocarbon types, ensuring gas detection equipment maintains accurate monitoring performance in environments where mixed combustible vapors may be present.
