Product Description
Pentane Equivalent Calibration Gas – CO 60 PPM / CH₄ 1.45% (58% LEL) / O₂ 16.0% – 60L Cylinder
This multi-gas calibration mixture is designed for pentane-equivalent LEL calibration, allowing accurate detector validation in environments where standard methane-based calibration does not reflect real hydrocarbon behavior.
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, enabling calibration under high-risk environments.
Supplied in a 60L aluminum cylinder at 1000 PSI with a C-10 valve, this configuration supports repeat calibration workflows, offering a practical balance of runtime and handling for technicians and safety teams.
