Product Description
Pentane Equivalent Calibration Gas – CO 60 PPM / CH₄ 1.45% (58% LEL) / O₂ 16.0% – 680L Cylinder
This multi-gas calibration mixture is engineered for large-scale pentane-equivalent LEL calibration, enabling continuous and accurate validation of gas detectors in hydrocarbon-sensitive and high-risk industrial 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 680L aluminum cylinder at 1800 PSI with a CGA-specific valve, this configuration is designed for continuous-use calibration programs, minimizing cylinder changeouts while supporting multiple detectors and teams across large operations.
