Product Description
Pentane Equivalent Calibration Gas – CO 60 PPM / CH₄ 1.45% (58% LEL) / O₂ 16.0% – 17L Cylinder
This multi-gas calibration mixture is engineered for portable pentane-equivalent LEL calibration, allowing rapid validation of gas detectors in environments where methane-only calibration does not accurately reflect real hydrocarbon conditions.
The mixture 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, enabling realistic confined space validation.
Supplied in a 17L steel cylinder at 240 PSI with a CGA-600 valve, this disposable configuration is designed for fast, portable use, making it ideal for technicians performing quick validation checks before or during field operations.
