- Methane ≤ 30 %mol/mol
- Hydrogen (Balance)
- Mixture may contain trace amounts of other process gases such as hydrocarbons and carbon dioxide
Sample distribution and reporting
- We will distribute samples by 1 August 2023.
- You must submit your measurement results and return the sample cylinders by 1 October 2023.
