Calibration for fixed and portable gas detectors is needed for ensuring the devices can accurately and correctly identify dangerous gases in the atmosphere. Calibration gas is used to approximate the settings made in a gas detector, in order to form a reliable measurement for detecting gases.
Calibration gas can be used in the following ways:
Obtaining Calibration Standards:
To calibrate a gas detector, we use special gases in known concentrations to the target gas. These gases in known concentrations represent the “standard sample” to determine what the gas detector should measure in the field.
Result Comparison:
Gas detectors measure concentrations of gases down to a certain level and over determined periods of time. After measuring, there are charts and/or other documentation to provide values of the gas and retention time for the emitted gas. These values are then compared to the “standard sample” used to determine if the gas detector is measuring accurately.
Adjustment Actions:
The volume of gas the detector recorded is compared to the “standard sample” to determine if there are any adjustments needed. Adjustments of gas detectors are made to achove a closer correlation in values. This is similar to an artist adjusting the level of an instrument to a certain pitch.
Safety First:
Calibration makes sure the gas detector is always prepared to alert us to the presence of any harmful gas. Just like how we routinely check to see if our superhero noses are still operational, gas detectors require routine calibrations as well.
What about the Industries in Qatar?
Calibration is important because we gas detectors to perform their life-saving functions appropriately. By calibrating, we can accurately trust the gas detectors to detect even the most minute quantities of hazardous gas and give us early warning to avert dangers.
ServeGas offers calibration of both fixed and portable gas detectors. This calibration involves adjusting the detectors’ sensitivity to known values of calibration gases. This process enables the detectors to give us accurate readings, thereby keeping us safe from the unseen dangers of industrial gases in Doha and Qatar.
