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 mixture for industrial gas detector calibration.
The mixture includes methane (CH₄), ethane (C₂H₆), propane (C₃H₈), n-butane (C₄H₁₀), pentane (C₅H₁₂), and hexane (C₆H₁₄), covering a range of hydrocarbons commonly encountered in petroleum processing, chemical manufacturing, fuel storage, and industrial safety monitoring environments.
The 680L aluminum cylinder with CGA-specific valve provides a large-volume calibration gas supply suited for laboratories, industrial safety programs, and facilities that require high-capacity calibration gas cylinders for routine gas detector maintenance.
Using a multi-component hydrocarbon mixture allows technicians to verify detector response across several hydrocarbon types, ensuring combustible gas sensors maintain reliable performance when monitoring mixed hydrocarbon environments.
