Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to the most common questions about methane calibration gas, CH₄ mixtures, %LEL, and combustible-gas detectors.

Methane calibration gas is a known concentration of CH₄ used for calibration or testing of methane and combustible-gas detectors.

It is commonly used for:

  • Methane gas detectors
  • LPG/PNG monitoring systems
  • Gas leak detectors
  • Mining applications
  • Natural gas applications
  • Industrial gas monitoring
  • Portable multi-gas detectors

It means the mixture contains 2.5% methane by volume, with the remainder being the specified balance gas.

Yes. Combustible gas detectors commonly display concentration as %LEL. However, conversion between volume concentration and %LEL depends on the target gas and the applicable LEL value.

Not automatically. Detector response depends on sensor technology and the manufacturer's specified calibration procedure. If a substitute gas is used, the manufacturer's correction factor may be required.
