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

1. Frequent False Alarms: Triggering alarms without gas presence.
2. Slow Response Times: Detector takes too long to react to known gas exposure.
3. Outdated Calibration Certificate: More than 6 months since last calibration.
4. Physical Damage: Cracked casing or damaged sensors.
5. Failure During Bump Test: Unit does not respond to test gas.

What Inspectors Look For

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 Missing or outdated documents can result in deficiencies.
