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.

Calibration Gas

  • Gas: Pentane (C₅H₁₂)

  • Gas Type: Non-Reactive Gas Only

  • Application: Pentane sensor, combustible gas, and LEL detector calibration and bump testing

  • Compatible Equipment: Appropriate pentane, combustible gas, and LEL detection and monitoring instruments

Common Applications

This pentane calibration gas is suitable for compatible equipment used in pentane detector calibration, combustible gas detector calibration, LEL detector calibration, gas detector bump testing, petroleum processing, chemical manufacturing, solvent monitoring, laboratory environments, industrial hygiene, environmental monitoring, confined space 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.
