Product Description
Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) 50.0% / Methane (CH₄) 50.0% Calibration Gas – 17L Cylinder
Accurate gas monitoring depends on routine calibration with stable reference mixtures. This two-gas calibration blend contains Carbon Dioxide and Methane at equal 50% concentrations, providing a reliable reference gas for detector response verification and calibration of gas monitoring instruments.
The mixture delivers 50% CO₂ and 50% CH₄, commonly used for instrument verification, detector response testing, and calibration of gas monitoring systems operating in industrial, laboratory, and environmental monitoring applications.
Supplied in a compact 17L disposable steel cylinder with CGA-600 valve, this calibration gas is ideal for portable bump testing kits, field service technicians, and maintenance programs requiring compact calibration cylinders.
