Calibration Gas for Portable and Fixed Gas Detectors
Calibration gas is essential for maintaining the accuracy and reliability of portable and fixed gas detection equipment. Regular calibration verifies that gas monitors respond correctly to known concentrations of gas, helping protect workers, facilities, and equipment from hazardous atmospheric conditions.
TG Technical Services offers calibration gas, calibration kits, regulators, and accessories for leading gas detection manufacturers, including Honeywell, BW Technologies, RKI Instruments, Draeger, and RAE Systems.
Choosing the Right Calibration Gas
Selecting the correct calibration gas depends on your gas detector manufacturer, model, sensor type, and required gas concentration. Common calibration gases include carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), oxygen (O2), methane (CH4), and other combustible and toxic gases.
Calibration Kits and Gas Regulators
Calibration kits typically include the necessary components to connect a calibration gas cylinder to a compatible gas detector. Depending on the application, these may include gas regulators, tubing, and calibration adapters. Always verify equipment compatibility before ordering.
Bump Testing vs. Gas Detector Calibration
A bump test confirms that a gas detector responds to gas and activates its alarms. Calibration adjusts the detector's readings against a known gas concentration to help maintain measurement accuracy. Follow the manufacturer's recommended testing and calibration schedule.
