Product Description
Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) 40.0% / Methane (CH₄) 60.0% Calibration Gas – 17L Cylinder
Reliable gas monitoring depends on routine calibration with precise reference mixtures. This two-gas calibration blend contains Carbon Dioxide and Methane at 40% and 60% concentrations, providing a stable calibration standard for detectors measuring combustible gases and carbon dioxide levels.
The mixture delivers 40% CO₂ and 60% CH₄, commonly used for sensor response verification, routine calibration, and performance testing of gas detection instruments used in industrial safety and environmental monitoring programs.
Supplied in a 17L disposable steel cylinder with CGA-600 valve, this compact calibration cylinder is ideal for portable calibration kits, field technicians, and routine detector maintenance where lightweight cylinders are preferred.
