Product Description
CH₄ 500 ppm / Nitrogen (N₂) Balance Calibration Gas
Ensure accurate methane measurements with CH₄ 500 ppm / Nitrogen (N₂) balance calibration gas, formulated for calibration, detector verification, and preventative maintenance of compatible methane gas detection and monitoring systems. Supplied in a 680-liter refillable aluminum cylinder at 1800 PSI with a CGA-specific valve connection, this non-reactive calibration gas mixture provides a defined methane concentration for verifying sensor response and maintaining measurement accuracy.
Containing 500 ppm methane (CH₄) with nitrogen as the balance gas, this calibration mixture is intended for compatible instruments designed to measure methane at parts-per-million concentrations. Routine calibration using the appropriate gas standard helps verify sensor response, identify potential instrument drift, and support dependable methane measurements across industrial, environmental, and occupational monitoring applications.
Calibration Gas Composition
| Gas | Concentration |
|---|---|
| Methane (CH₄) | 500 ppm |
| Balance Gas | Nitrogen (N₂) |
This methane calibration gas is suitable for compatible detection and monitoring equipment used by industrial hygienists, EHS professionals, maintenance technicians, safety managers, and environmental specialists. Common applications include oil & gas, petrochemical processing, manufacturing, wastewater treatment, utilities, chemical processing, industrial hygiene, environmental monitoring, and other environments where accurate methane measurement and reliable instrument performance are essential.

The 680-liter refillable aluminum cylinder provides a higher-capacity calibration gas supply for facilities, laboratories, service operations, and recurring instrument maintenance programs. With 19 cubic feet of gas capacity, an 1800 PSI fill pressure, and a CGA-specific connection, this cylinder is well suited for compatible calibration systems requiring a larger gas supply for repeated detector verification, sensor response checks, and routine methane instrument calibration.
Always confirm the required methane concentration, regulator, flow rate, and specific CGA valve compatibility specified by the instrument manufacturer before use.
If your application requires a different methane concentration, cylinder size, valve configuration, or specialty gas blend, we manufacture custom calibration gas mixtures for a wide variety of gas detection and monitoring applications.
