Product Description
Propane (C₃H₈) 100 PPM / Ethane (C₂H₆) 100 PPM / Methane (CH₄) 5,000 PPM Calibration Gas – 221L Disposable Cylinder
Routine detector calibration is essential for ensuring combustible gas monitors accurately respond to hydrocarbon hazards. This three-gas hydrocarbon calibration mixture combines methane, propane, and ethane at controlled concentrations used to verify the response of LEL sensors and portable combustible gas detectors used across 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 used to monitor flammable gases.
Supplied in a 221L disposable steel cylinder with CGA-165 valve, this cylinder provides extended calibration capacity while remaining convenient for field service teams and industrial safety programs performing routine detector verification.
