What is the life expectancy of a gas detector?
1. Regularly calibrate the gas detector. Generally, after one and a half years of use, the accuracy will decrease and must be recalibrated at the factory. Do not attempt to save time and cause damage to the sensor.
2. The longest service life of a gas detector is 5 years, which does not mean that all gas detectors can reach 5 years. This is only possible when the gas environment is relatively mild and daily protection is in place. After the service life, a new detector must be replaced.
3. Gas detectors are mostly catalytic combustion sensors used to detect the concentration of combustible gases, and their service life is 3-5 years in ideal environments. In addition, the lifespan of gas detectors (including fixed gas detectors and portable gas detectors) is closely related to the concentration they are exposed to.
4. The service life of electrochemical gas detectors is generally about 2 years. After 2 years, it is necessary to test the performance of the instrument to determine whether it needs to be replaced. In addition to necessary sensor aging, calibration of the instrument is also required. Corresponding standard gases are required for instrument calibration.
The service life of gas detectors is not necessarily determined, as it is closely related to the operating environment of the equipment. During use, it is necessary to regularly calibrate and check the gas alarm for protection. Once problems arise, it is necessary to promptly contact skilled personnel or the manufacturer. If the sensor fails, it is necessary to replace the sensor in a timely manner to avoid safety accidents.
