Product Description
Pentane Equivalent Calibration Gas – CO 60 PPM / CH₄ 1.45% (58% LEL) / O₂ 16.0% – 116L Cylinder
This multi-gas calibration mixture is designed for pentane-equivalent LEL calibration, enabling accurate and repeatable validation of gas detectors in hydrocarbon-sensitive and confined space environments.
The blend includes Carbon Monoxide (CO) 60 PPM for precision toxic gas calibration and Methane (CH₄) 1.45% (58% LEL Pentane Equivalent) to simulate detector response aligned with pentane-equivalent combustible gas scaling. Oxygen at 16.0% represents severely reduced atmospheric conditions, ensuring calibration reflects real-world oxygen-deficient environments.
Supplied in a 116L aluminum cylinder at 1000 PSI with a C-10 valve, this configuration is tailored for spec-controlled calibration programs, where exact cylinder size and pressure must be matched for compliance, validation consistency, or contract requirements.
