PORTACAL® Methane (CH₄) Calibration Gas is designed for the calibration, bump testing, and verification of compatible methane gas detectors, combustible gas sensors, LEL detectors, and monitoring instruments.
Methane (CH₄) is a colorless, odorless, highly flammable gas and the primary component of natural gas. It is commonly encountered in oil and gas operations, natural gas distribution, landfills, wastewater treatment facilities, mining operations, agricultural facilities, confined spaces, and other industrial environments where combustible gas monitoring is important.
PORTACAL® Methane Calibration Gas provides a known concentration of methane to help verify that compatible CH₄ sensors, LEL detectors, combustible gas detectors, portable gas monitors, and fixed gas detection systems are functioning and responding properly.
