Calibration gas propane 0.9 vol% in air, 60 litre cylinder

Dräger calibration gas containing propane 0.9 vol% in air, in a 60 litre disposable cylinder at 35 bar – for calibrating and bump testing LEL channels where propane is the reference substance.

  • A bump test is what makes a reading defensible – a gas detector that has not seen test gas since its last service is an assumption, not a measurement, and most confined space procedures require the check to be recorded before entry.
  • Certified mixture with a stated shelf life – each cylinder carries its composition and expiry date, so the calibration record can be traced back to a known reference.
  • 60 litre cylinder at 35 bar – the standard Dräger disposable format, sized for routine testing in the workshop or the calibration station.
  • Propane as the LEL reference gas – propane is the reference substance for LEL calibration in many national schemes, so a propane span keeps the instrument aligned with local practice.

Also required for measurement

  • A pressure regulator or demand flow regulator suitable for this cylinder – the cylinder is supplied without one, and the regulator must match both the valve and the flow rate your instrument or test adapter needs.
  • A bump test adapter or calibration cradle for the instrument being tested.

Important information before use

  • Observe the expiry date printed on the cylinder; the stated accuracy of the mixture is not maintained beyond it.
  • Store and transport the cylinder upright, below 50 °C and out of direct sunlight, and vent it before disposal in line with local regulations.
