| DESCRIPTION: |
Methane(CH4) is a colorless,
flammable, nontoxic gas with a sweet, oil-type odor. Methane is normally
shipped as a nonliquefied gas in high pressure cylinders (2000 psig
@ 70°F). |
| APPLICATION: |
Methane is used as a getter in ionization chambers
and as a calibration reference for calorimetric, environmental, petrochemical
and industrial hygiene applications. |
