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 and industrial gas monitoring systems.
The mixture includes methane (CH₄), ethane (C₂H₆), propane (C₃H₈), n-butane (C₄H₁₀), pentane (C₅H₁₂), and hexane (C₆H₁₄). These hydrocarbons represent common combustible vapors encountered in petroleum refining, fuel storage operations, chemical processing facilities, and industrial manufacturing environments.
The 221L disposable steel cylinder with CGA-165 valve provides a larger calibration gas supply ideal for facilities that perform routine detector calibration or operate multiple gas detection instruments.
Using a multi-component hydrocarbon calibration mixture allows technicians to verify sensor response across several hydrocarbon types, helping ensure gas detection equipment maintains reliable performance when monitoring mixed combustible gas environments.
