Product Description
4-Gas Calibration Gas with 18.0% Oxygen – 66L 1150 PSI Cylinder
This multi-gas calibration blend is engineered for regulated confined space programs requiring controlled oxygen-deficiency simulation.
Gas Composition
-
Hydrogen Sulfide (H₂S): 25 PPM
-
Carbon Monoxide (CO): 100 PPM
-
Methane (CH₄): 2.5% (50% LEL)
-
Oxygen (O₂): 18.0%
-
Balance Gas: Nitrogen
-
Gas Count: 4
The 18.0% oxygen concentration is formulated to validate oxygen-deficiency alarm thresholds below OSHA’s 19.5% standard, providing a deeper deficiency simulation than 18.5% blends.
Cylinder Specifications
-
Cylinder Size: 66L (2.3 Cubic Feet)
-
Cylinder Pressure: 1150 PSI
-
Valve Type: C-10
-
Cylinder Material: Aluminum
-
Gas Reactivity: Reactive
The 1150 PSI fill pressure provides extended calibration volume for centralized calibration benches and fleet-level detector maintenance programs.
Application & Use Case Positioning
This 18.0% oxygen blend is ideal for:
-
Confined space compliance programs
-
Oxygen-deficiency alarm validation
-
Industrial hygiene audits
-
Multi-gas monitor bump testing
-
Scheduled fleet detector servicing
Methane at 2.5% equals 50% LEL for combustible sensor validation.
CO at 100 PPM aligns with common low-alarm calibration thresholds.
Compared to:
-
20.9% O₂ → ambient simulation
-
19.0% O₂ → mild deficiency simulation
-
18.5% O₂ → OSHA threshold simulation
-
17.0% O₂ → aggressive deficiency simulation
This 18.0% blend sits in the controlled deficiency range for programs requiring tighter alarm validation.
