Product Description
Pentane Equivalent Calibration Gas – CO 60 PPM / CH₄ 1.45% (58% LEL) / O₂ 16.0% – 221L Cylinder
This multi-gas calibration mixture is designed for extended-use pentane-equivalent LEL calibration, enabling consistent and reliable 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 accurate calibration under high-risk scenarios.
Supplied in a 221L steel cylinder at 250 PSI with a CGA-165 valve, this configuration is optimized for longer calibration intervals, reducing downtime and improving workflow efficiency for teams operating in demanding environments.
