Product Description
Propane (C₃H₈) 100 PPM / Ethane (C₂H₆) 100 PPM / Methane (CH₄) 5,000 PPM Calibration Gas – 60L Cylinder
Routine calibration ensures combustible gas detectors accurately respond to hydrocarbon hazards. 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 monitors 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 for technicians performing bump testing and detector calibration across facilities where hydrocarbon monitoring is required.
Supplied in a 60L aluminum cylinder with a C-10 valve, this calibration gas supports routine maintenance of gas detection instruments used in oil and gas operations, pipeline monitoring, industrial safety programs, and confined space monitoring.
