Product Description
4-Gas Calibration Gas – 25 PPM H2S / 50 PPM CO / 2.5% (50% LEL) CH4 / 18.0% O2 – 116L C-10 Cylinder
This 4-gas calibration gas blend is engineered for routine bump testing and full calibration of portable multi-gas monitors used in confined space and industrial safety programs.
Containing 18.0% oxygen, this mixture simulates severe oxygen-deficient atmospheric conditions significantly below OSHA’s 19.5% threshold. It enables technicians to validate oxygen alarm activation under aggressive depletion scenarios while simultaneously verifying toxic and combustible sensor performance.
Concentration profile:
-
25 PPM Hydrogen Sulfide for toxic exposure sensor validation
-
50 PPM Carbon Monoxide calibration for conservative CO alarm setpoints
-
2.5% Methane (50% LEL) for combustible sensor accuracy
-
18.0% Oxygen for deep oxygen-deficiency simulation
This blend is commonly specified for advanced confined space training, emergency response simulation exercises, industrial hygiene audits, and safety departments operating with internal oxygen alarm thresholds below regulatory minimums.
The 116L cylinder supports extended calibration cycles and high-volume bump testing programs while maintaining manageable cylinder size for industrial deployment.
