What Inspections Should Be Conducted After Purchasing a Gas Detector?
Portable gas detector is a commonly used instrument that can help our staff check whether the combustible and toxic gases in the work environment exceed the standard value, and also detect whether there is a leakage of combustible and toxic gases in equipment or pipelines. The detected concentration can reach the ppm level or even lower. But when we purchase a new gas detector, we are not clear about the inspection technical standards of the gas detector, which sometimes leads to us not knowing the machines that do not meet the standards. Although the manufacturers have debugged the machines according to the standards, we still need to be clear about the inspection technical standards of the gas detector. Below, we will share with you what inspection items we should do after purchasing the gas detector.
1, Appearance and functional inspection
1. Inspection of appearance and other items Inspection of appearance is the first thing we need to do after purchasing a gas detector. This is to avoid small problems that may occur during transportation or production assembly of the gas detector. We need to inspect the appearance of the gas detector for defects, cracks, or damage, check the integrity of the entire gas detector component structure, and verify the machine model, label, manufacturer name, and production time on the gas detector body with the information provided in the manual or manufacturer to ensure accuracy. At the same time, we need to check the explosion-proof mark, measurement license mark, and number of the gas detector, which must be complete and clear. Some documents can be required from the manufacturer to provide.
2. Power on inspection of gas detectors requires a power source, usually powered by the built-in battery. We need to turn on the switch and check if the gas detector is powered on normally. Some gas detectors can continue to work by replacing the battery, while others are equipped with a charger. For gas detectors equipped with a charger, we need to test if the charger is charging properly. Under normal power on conditions, we need to check if the display screen of the gas detector is displaying normally.
3. Check if the sound and light alarm of the instrument is normal. For gas detectors with sound and light alarm signals, as they are powered by batteries, they should be able to emit sound or light indication signals that are significantly different from the alarm signal when displaying under voltage.
