Product Description
116L 4 Gas Calibration Gas – 17.0% O₂ Severe Oxygen Deficiency (Field Cylinder)
This 116L 4 gas calibration gas is designed for severe oxygen-deficiency simulation in field environments, featuring 17.0% Oxygen (O₂) alongside Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Methane (CH₄) balanced in nitrogen.
This mixture enables technicians to validate gas detection systems under low-oxygen hazard conditions, ensuring reliable alarm response in confined space and industrial safety applications.

Why This 17% O₂ Calibration Gas Matters
- Simulates dangerous oxygen-depleted environments
- Verifies detector response at low O₂ alarm thresholds
- Ensures safety systems perform under real hazard conditions
- Complements moderate (19%) and extreme (12%) O₂ calibration gases
116L vs 120L (Important Buyer Context)
- 116L (this SKU) → standard field alternative
- 120L → slightly higher capacity
In practice: same use case, interchangeable for most buyers
Oxygen Severity Context
- 20.9% → normal atmosphere
- 19.0% → early deficiency
- 18.0% → critical threshold
- 17.0% (this SKU) → severe hazard
- 12.0% → extreme / emergency
116L Cylinder Advantage
- Balanced for portability + runtime
- Ideal for field deployment
- Reduces replacement frequency vs smaller cylinders
- Compatible with C-10 calibration systems
