PORTACAL® Hexane (C₆H₁₄) Calibration Gas is designed for the calibration, bump testing, and verification of compatible hexane gas detectors, combustible gas sensors, VOC detectors, and monitoring instruments.

Hexane (C₆H₁₄) is a colorless, highly flammable hydrocarbon commonly used as a solvent in a variety of commercial and industrial applications. It is frequently encountered in chemical manufacturing, laboratories, petroleum processing, adhesives, coatings, cleaning and degreasing operations, and extraction processes.

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

Calibration Gas

  • Gas: Hexane (C₆H₁₄)

  • Gas Type: Non-Reactive Gas Only

  • Application: Hexane sensor calibration and bump testing

  • Compatible Equipment: Appropriate hexane, VOC, and combustible gas detection and monitoring instruments

Common Applications

This hexane calibration gas is suitable for compatible equipment used in hexane detector calibration, VOC detector calibration, combustible gas detector calibration, LEL monitoring, gas detector bump testing, chemical manufacturing, petroleum processing, laboratories, solvent monitoring, 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.
