Product Description
Propane (C₃H₈) 100 PPM / Ethane (C₂H₆) 100 PPM / Methane (CH₄) 5,000 PPM Calibration Gas – 103L Cylinder
Accurate combustible gas monitoring requires routine calibration using stable hydrocarbon reference mixtures. This three-gas hydrocarbon calibration blend combines methane, propane, and ethane at controlled concentrations used to verify the response of LEL sensors and portable combustible gas monitors used throughout industrial safety programs.
The mixture contains Methane at 5,000 ppm, Propane at 100 ppm, and Ethane at 100 ppm balanced in air, providing a dependable reference gas for technicians performing routine bump testing and calibration of gas detection equipment monitoring flammable hydrocarbons.
Supplied in a 103L disposable steel cylinder with a C-10 valve, this calibration gas is commonly used by industrial maintenance teams and safety technicians performing routine detector verification across multiple worksites or facilities.
