Product Description
6-Gas Hydrocarbon Calibration Gas Mixture – 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 for stable detector calibration and performance verification.
The mixture includes methane (CH₄), ethane (C₂H₆), propane (C₃H₈), n-butane (C₄H₁₀), pentane (C₅H₁₂), and hexane (C₆H₁₄), representing hydrocarbons commonly encountered in industrial processing, refining, chemical manufacturing, and fuel handling environments.
The 60L disposable aluminum cylinder with C-10 valve provides a reliable supply of calibration gas for technicians performing combustible gas detector calibration, bump testing, and routine gas monitor maintenance.
Using a multi-component hydrocarbon calibration gas allows gas detection systems to be tested across several hydrocarbon types, ensuring sensors respond correctly to a range of combustible vapors.
