Description
Test gas, Calibration Gas canister, 116L, CH4, CO, H2S, O2 in N2. For calibrating detectors that require larger test volumes.
The Draeger Test Gas Calibration Gas 116 L is a specialized calibration gas mixture used for testing and calibrating gas detection instruments. This particular mixture includes Methane (CH4), Carbon Monoxide (CO), Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S), and Oxygen (O2) mixed with Nitrogen (N2). It is commonly used in safety and industrial settings to ensure that gas detectors are functioning correctly and providing accurate readings in environments where these gases might be present.
Key Features:
-
Volume: 116 liters, providing a significant quantity of gas for repeated calibration tests.
-
Gases Included:
-
Methane (CH4): A common combustible gas used in natural gas applications and a key target for detection in many industries.
-
Carbon Monoxide (CO): A toxic gas often produced during combustion processes, requiring accurate detection for safety purposes.
-
Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S): A hazardous and toxic gas with a distinct odor, commonly encountered in petroleum, natural gas, and sewage industries.
-
Oxygen (O2): Essential for life, with O2 sensors needing periodic calibration to ensure they measure oxygen levels accurately.
-
-
Mixture: The gas mixture is calibrated with precise concentrations of each gas to match the needs of specific gas detection equipment. Typically, the gases are mixed with Nitrogen (N2) as a balance gas to bring the total volume to the desired level.
