Product Description
Propane (C₃H₈) 100 PPM / Ethane (C₂H₆) 100 PPM / Methane (CH₄) 5,000 PPM Calibration Gas – 34L Disposable Cylinder
Routine calibration is essential to maintain the accuracy of combustible gas detection equipment. This three-gas hydrocarbon calibration mixture contains methane, propane, and ethane at controlled concentrations used to verify the response of LEL sensors and portable combustible gas detectors used in industrial safety monitoring.
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 bump testing and routine calibration of gas detection instruments used to monitor flammable hydrocarbon gases.
Supplied in a portable 34L disposable steel cylinder with CGA-600 valve, this calibration gas is ideal for field technicians, safety professionals, and maintenance teams requiring compact calibration cylinders for routine detector checks and field service work.
