Product Description
Propane (C₃H₈) 100 PPM / Ethane (C₂H₆) 100 PPM / Methane (CH₄) 5,000 PPM Calibration Gas – 66L Cylinder
Routine calibration is essential to ensure 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 response of LEL sensors and portable combustible gas monitors used across 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 routine bump testing and calibration of gas detection equipment used in hydrocarbon monitoring environments.
Supplied in a 66L aluminum cylinder with a C-10 valve, this calibration gas is designed for technicians responsible for maintaining portable gas detectors used in oil and gas operations, pipeline monitoring, industrial maintenance, and confined space safety programs.
