Product Description
6-Gas Hydrocarbon Calibration Gas – Methane, Ethane, Propane, Butane, Pentane & Hexane (500 ppm Each)
This multi-hydrocarbon calibration gas mixture contains six combustible gases at 500 ppm each, balanced with nitrogen to provide a stable calibration reference for combustible gas detectors used in industrial safety monitoring.
The mixture includes methane (CH₄), ethane (C₂H₆), propane (C₃H₈), n-butane (C₄H₁₀), pentane (C₅H₁₂), and hexane (C₆H₁₄). These hydrocarbons represent common combustible vapors found in petroleum refining, chemical processing, fuel storage facilities, and manufacturing environments.
The 17L disposable steel cylinder with CGA-600 valve provides a compact calibration gas supply ideal for portable gas detection equipment and field servicing of combustible gas monitoring systems.
Using a multi-component hydrocarbon calibration mixture allows technicians to verify detector response across several hydrocarbon types, ensuring sensors maintain accurate detection when monitoring mixed combustible gas environments.
