Sensor Calibration<\/strong><\/a><\/h1>\n

Why must you calibrate gas sensors?<\/strong>\u00a0 Calibration is recommended to ensure maximum accuracy and safety.\u00a0 It verifies the sensor is accurate and providing correct measurement of the gas you are detecting.<\/p>\n

How often should I calibrate my sensor?<\/strong> Factory calibration should be done annually. But we also recommend field check or bump test every 6 months.\u00a0 Different gasses and sensor manufacturers have different requirements.\u00a0 You can view their specific requirements using the links below:<\/p>\n

Factory Calibration<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Your sensor can be sent back to us for calibration.\u00a0 We will evaluate, calibrate, and return it with a Calibration Certificate providing performance during calibration, date it was calibrated, and date that calibration should be done next.<\/p>\n

How do I return my sensor to be calibrated?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your sensor can be sent back to us at:
\nGas-Sensing
\nAttn: Calibration
\n1322 1st Street
\nHull, IA 51239<\/p>\n

We require that an RMA form be filled out and sent back with your sensor. Contact us<\/a> to receive this form.<\/p>\n

Calibration Gasses<\/h1>\n

Another option is to get gas cylinders of known quantities of gas.\u00a0 This can be mixed with air to provide span calibration.\u00a0 This needs to be done according the manufacturers specifications to perform a span gas calibration.\u00a0\u00a0 NOTE: This is not an option for all gases as some have a short half-life and cannot be bottled.<\/p>\n

Some gases can be calibrated on site using a calibration kit. For example: the A23-14 provides a consistent flow of calibrated ozone gas for calibration purpose, in a handy portable carry case.<\/p>\n

Gas Calibration Kits can be found on our website.<\/a><\/p>\n

Field Calibration<\/h1>\n

Field calibration can be performed on-site and is convenient when sending your sensor in to be calibrated is challenging.\u00a0 In order to perform field calibration you must have calibration gasses or a unit designed to produce a consistent amount of gas, that way you can ensure the sensor is reacting properly.<\/p>\n

Gas Sensing is will to come to your facility and perform Field Calibration.<\/p>\n

Bump Testing<\/h1>\n

Bump testing allow you to check and make sure that your sensor is responding to the gas that you are trying to detect.\u00a0 It is not a precise measurement, but rather, just a check to ensure your monitor is reacting and will respond when gas levels reach a dangerous level. This is not a replacement for calibration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
