Test Gas Calibration Gas 103 L, 25 %LEL C5H12/Air | Draeger

The Draeger Test Gas Calibration Gas 103 L, 25% LEL C5H12/Air is a specialized calibration gas used for testing and calibrating gas detection equipment, particularly instruments designed to detect flammable gases. This mixture is composed of 25% of the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) of Pentane (C5H12) in Air, providing a safe, controlled environment to check the response of gas detectors to flammable substances.

Key Features:

1. Volume: 103 liters, providing sufficient gas for multiple calibration or testing cycles with gas detectors.

2. Gas Composition:

   • Pentane (C5H12): A flammable hydrocarbon, pentane is commonly used in industrial applications and can be present in environments where combustible gases are used, such as in chemical plants or refineries.

   • Air: The carrier gas, typically nitrogen or another inert substance, is mixed with pentane to create a specific concentration for calibration.

3. Concentration:

   • The gas mixture is calibrated to 25% of the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) of pentane. The LEL refers to the lowest concentration of the gas in the air that can cause an explosion or fire. By testing gas detectors at this level, it ensures they are sensitive to the presence of combustible gases and are functioning within safety limits.

4. Application:

   • Used in environments where flammable gases, such as pentane, may be present. This gas is typically found in the petrochemical, chemical, and oil and gas industries.

   • Ensures the gas detection instruments are calibrated to respond accurately to combustible gases at potentially hazardous concentrations.

5. Usage:

   • Ideal for use in calibration and function testing of combustible gas detectors to ensure their accuracy and reliability.

   • Used to verify that the gas detectors can detect flammable gases at the critical lower explosive limit, which is essential for safety in hazardous environments.

Calibration Benefits:

• Ensures proper detection of flammable gases, enhancing workplace safety by reducing the risk of fires or explosions.

• Helps maintain compliance with safety regulations by confirming that gas detectors are functioning properly and providing accurate readings.

• Provides a cost-effective solution for calibration and regular testing of gas detection equipment in industries where combustible gases are present.

This product is an essential tool for industries where gas leak detection and explosion risk prevention are critical. By providing a reliable means to test gas detectors, it ensures that safety equipment is properly calibrated to respond to flammable gas hazards.
