Product Description
Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) 40.0% / Methane (CH₄) 60.0% Calibration Gas – 34L Cylinder
Accurate gas detection depends on calibration using 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 monitoring combustible gases and carbon dioxide levels.
The mixture delivers 40% CO₂ and 60% CH₄, commonly used for instrument verification, sensor response testing, and routine calibration of gas detection systems used in industrial safety, environmental monitoring, and laboratory applications.
Supplied in a 34L disposable steel cylinder with CGA-600 valve, this compact calibration cylinder is well suited for portable detector calibration kits, field technicians, and routine detector maintenance programs.
