Product Description
Propane (C₃H₈) 100 PPM / Ethane (C₂H₆) 100 PPM / Methane (CH₄) 5,000 PPM Calibration Gas – 11L Disposable Cylinder
Routine calibration and bump testing are essential for maintaining accurate combustible gas detection. This three-gas hydrocarbon calibration mixture contains methane, propane, and ethane at controlled concentrations used to verify the performance of LEL sensors and portable combustible gas detectors used in industrial safety programs.
The mixture includes Methane at 5,000 ppm, Propane at 100 ppm, and Ethane at 100 ppm balanced in air, providing a stable reference gas used for routine bump testing and detector calibration in environments where hydrocarbon gas monitoring is required.
Supplied in a compact 11L disposable aluminum cylinder with trigger valve, this calibration gas is ideal for portable bump testing kits, field technicians, and maintenance teams requiring quick detector verification in mobile work environments.
