  • Description

    Methane (CH4) Gas – High Purity 99.9% to 99.9999%

    Product Description:

    Methane (CH4) is a colorless, odorless, flammable gas available at purities from 99.9% to 99.9999% (6N). It is the simplest hydrocarbon and the primary component of natural gas, biogas, and coal mine gas.

    Key Applications:

    Primary standard gas and calibration gas for gas chromatographs in petrochemical plants, environmental monitoring, and natural gas analysis. Also used as a calibration gas for combustible gas detectors and LEL sensors. Serves as a chemical feedstock for hydrogen production via steam methane reforming, methanol, ammonia, acetylene, carbon black, and chlorinated hydrocarbons (chloromethane, dichloromethane, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride). Acts as a high calorific value fuel for industrial burners, boilers, and power generation. Used as a carbon source for CVD diamond film and carbon nanotube synthesis in research applications. Also serves as a low temperature refrigerant (R50) in cascade refrigeration systems.
