How long is the service life of the gas detector?
Publication Date:2021/04/14The gas detector can help us detect the corresponding gas concentration in the working environment, but every 1 kinds of detection instruments have a service life and cannot be used all the time. When the gas detector reaches the service life, it will fail or malfunction, and we need to repair or replace a new gas detector. So how long is the service life of the gas detector? The staff of Yiyuntian will explain to you about the service life of gas detector .

2. the longest service life of the gas detector is 5 years, which does not mean that all the gas detectors can reach 5 years. this is only when the gas environment is relatively gentle and the daily protection is in place, and the new detector must be replaced after the service life is 5 years.
& nbsp;
3. Gas detector The sensors used to detect the concentration of combustible gases are mostly catalytic combustion sensors, and their service life is 3-5 years in an ideal environment. In addition, the life of the gas detector (including fixed gas alarm and portable gas alarm) sensor has a great relationship with the concentration it is exposed.
& nbsp;
4. The service life of the electrochemical gas detector is generally about 2 years. After 2 years, the performance of the instrument needs to be tested to determine whether the detector needs to be replaced. In addition to the necessary sensor aging, the detector also needs to be calibrated. The instrument needs to be calibrated using the appropriate standard gas.
& nbsp;
the service life of the gas detector is not certain, which is closely related to the equipment application environment. during the application period, the gas alarm must be protected and calibrated on time. once problems occur, skilled personnel or manufacturers must be contacted in time. assuming the sensor fails, the sensor needs to be replaced in time to avoid safety accidents.
