Do gas detectors need to be calibrated and calibrated regularly
For the accuracy and safety of use, you need to regularly calibrate and verify the gas detector. The core component of a gas detector is the sensor, and the lifespan of the sensor starts counting down from the first day it is produced. Even if you do not use the gas detector, you still need to calibrate and inspect it within three months, six months, or one year, or replace the sensor. In addition, all gas detectors use relative measurement methods, so they need to be maintained and calibrated in a timely manner. Only by calibrating according to the manufacturer's requirements can the expected accurate results be obtained. There are places where such verification can be done, such as national metrology institutes, and it can also be sent to the manufacturer's after-sales service department in China. The reports issued by them are different, but they can all make the instrument work normally.
In addition, to ensure the accuracy of the gas detector and extend its service life, we also need to pay attention to the following issues when using the gas detector.
1. It is necessary to use portable gas detectors reasonably and constantly check whether there are any abnormalities in the components. If there are any abnormalities, they should be repaired or replaced in a timely manner to ensure their normal use.
2. The gas detector is an explosion-proof device and must not be used beyond the specified range.
What is the typical service life of a gas detector
The common sensor for gas detectors is an electrochemical sensor. The average service life of such sensors is two years, and their service life will be shortened in special environments such as severe pollution, high or low temperature, and high or low humidity. Special reminder, after the electrochemical sensor is unpacked, the sensor has started to wear out. Even if our company does not use the sensor after unboxing, it must be tested or replaced with a new product after its service life. It is recommended that our company install and use the detector promptly after receiving it, Calibrate the detector annually to ensure the normal use of the equipment.
