Why Gas Detector Calibration is Critical
Portable gas detectors protect crew from toxic or flammable gases. But without proper calibration, they can give false readings—or fail entirely.
5 Warning Signs Your Detector Needs Calibration
- Frequent False Alarms: Triggering alarms without gas presence.
- Slow Response Times: Detector takes too long to react to known gas exposure.
- Outdated Calibration Certificate: More than 6 months since last calibration.
- Physical Damage: Cracked casing or damaged sensors.
- Failure During Bump Test: Unit does not respond to test gas.

PSC and class inspectors often ask for calibration certificates. Missing or outdated documents can result in deficiencies.
