PORTACAL® Benzene (C₆H₆) Calibration Gas is designed for the calibration, bump testing, and verification of compatible benzene gas detectors, sensors, and monitoring instruments.

Benzene (C₆H₆) is a widely used industrial chemical and a naturally occurring component of crude oil and gasoline. It is used in the production of plastics, resins, synthetic fibers, rubber products, lubricants, dyes, detergents, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and other industrial chemicals.

PORTACAL® Benzene Calibration Gas provides a known concentration of benzene to help verify that compatible benzene sensors, portable gas detectors, fixed gas detection systems, and industrial gas monitoring instruments are functioning and responding properly.

Calibration Gas

  • Gas: Benzene (C₆H₆)

  • Gas Type: Non-Reactive Gas Only

  • Application: Benzene sensor calibration and bump testing

  • Compatible Equipment: Appropriate benzene gas detection and monitoring instruments

  • Equivalent To: Scott Specialty Gas 239-0

Common Applications

This benzene calibration gas is suitable for compatible equipment used in benzene detector calibration, VOC monitoring, petroleum and petrochemical facilities, refineries, chemical manufacturing, industrial hygiene, environmental monitoring, occupational exposure monitoring, and workplace safety applications.

Always verify the required gas concentration, cylinder connection, flow rate, and regulator compatibility for your specific gas detection instrument before use.

Cylinder Material Notice

Steel cylinders are for non-reactive calibration gases only. Aluminum cylinders are for reactive calibration gases only, regardless of cylinder size. Please verify the gas type and cylinder material when selecting your calibration gas.

Tip: Check the Specifications tab for a visual chart of available cylinder sizes, materials, pressures, dimensions, valve inlets, and regulator compatibility.
