PORTACAL® Butane (C₄H₁₀) Calibration Gas is designed for the calibration, bump testing, and verification of compatible butane gas detectors, combustible gas sensors, and monitoring instruments.

Butane (C₄H₁₀) is a highly flammable hydrocarbon gas commonly used across a variety of commercial and industrial applications. Butane is frequently used as a heating fuel, refrigerant or coolant, aerosol propellant, and fuel source, making accurate gas detection important in environments where butane may be stored, handled, or used.

PORTACAL® Butane Calibration Gas provides a known concentration of butane to help verify that compatible butane sensors, combustible gas detectors, portable gas monitors, and fixed gas detection systems are functioning and responding properly.

Calibration Gas

  • Gas: Butane (C₄H₁₀)

  • Gas Type: Non-Reactive Gas Only

  • Application: Butane sensor calibration and bump testing

  • Compatible Equipment: Appropriate butane and combustible gas detection and monitoring instruments

Common Applications

This butane calibration gas is suitable for compatible equipment used in butane detector calibration, combustible gas detector calibration, LEL monitoring, gas detector bump testing, fuel storage and handling, industrial facilities, refrigeration applications, industrial hygiene, environmental 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.
