PORTACAL® Pentane (C₅H₁₂) Calibration Gas is designed for the calibration, bump testing, and verification of compatible pentane gas detectors, combustible gas sensors, LEL detectors, and monitoring instruments.
Pentane (C₅H₁₂) is a colorless, highly flammable hydrocarbon commonly used in industrial and laboratory applications. It is frequently encountered in petroleum processing, chemical manufacturing, solvents, laboratories, fuel-related applications, and other environments where combustible hydrocarbon vapors may be present.
PORTACAL® Pentane Calibration Gas provides a known concentration of pentane to help verify that compatible pentane sensors, combustible gas detectors, LEL detectors, portable gas monitors, and fixed gas detection systems are functioning and responding properly.
