Gas monitors are essential safety devices used to detect hazardous gases such as hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), carbon monoxide (CO), oxygen deficiency, and combustible gases. To ensure accurate readings and reliable alarms, gas monitors must be regularly tested, bump-tested, and calibrated.
At Lobo Fire & Safety, LLC, we provide professional gas monitor calibration and testing services to ensure your equipment performs correctly and meets safety expectations.
Gas detection sensors can drift over time due to environmental exposure, temperature changes, humidity, and normal wear. Without routine calibration, a gas detector may provide inaccurate readings or fail to alarm when dangerous gases are present.
Calibration compares the monitor’s readings to a certified calibration gas concentration and adjusts the instrument to ensure accurate measurement.
Proper calibration helps:
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires atmospheric testing with properly functioning gas detection instruments in many hazardous environments.
For example, OSHA 29 CFR 1910.146 requires atmospheric testing prior to entry into confined spaces, including monitoring oxygen levels, flammable gases, and toxic contaminants using properly calibrated instruments.
Routine testing and calibration help ensure compliance with OSHA safety practices and reduce risk to workers operating in hazardous environments.
Most manufacturers recommend routine testing and calibration to ensure detector accuracy.
Typical industry best practices include:
Daily
Monthly to Quarterly
Every 6 Months (Minimum)
