What should I do if the gas detector is improperly calibrated?

Publication Date:2024/08/26

gas detector as a key tool for industrial safety, once the problem of improper calibration occurs, it is likely to lead to inaccurate measurement results, affect production safety, increase maintenance costs, etc., resulting in its measurement results deviating from the actual value, unable to accurately reflect the concentration of the measured gas, thus reducing the use efficiency of the gas detector and threatening production safety. So do you know that the gas detector is not calibrated properly, what should you do? The following is a brief introduction by yiyuntian electronics:


 gas detector


1. improper calibration


(1) The calibration cycle is not reasonable:


If the calibration cycle is too long, it may cause the sensor performance to decrease, which may affect the accuracy of the gas detector measurement results.Conversely, if the calibration period is too short, unnecessary calibration cost and effort may be added.


(2) Incorrect calibration method:


Failure to follow the calibration guidelines or relevant standards provided by the gas detector manufacturer, such as using the wrong calibration gas, incorrect calibration procedures, etc, or ignore the inspection and calibration of key components such as internal circuits and sensors of the gas detector.


(3) The calibration environment does not meet the requirements:


There are interference factors in the calibration environment, such as temperature, humidity, electromagnetic interference, etc., which may affect the accuracy of the calibration results of the gas detector. At the same time, if the calibration environment fails to maintain a clean, no target gas state, it is also easy to cause errors in the calibration process.


(4) Not validated after calibration:


After the calibration is completed, the gas detector is not verified with standard gas or other verification methods to confirm the validity of the calibration results.


2. measures to resolve improper calibration


> (1) to develop a reasonable calibration cycle:


According to the use environment, use frequency and manufacturer's recommendations of the gas detector, establish a reasonable calibration cycle.


(2) Use the correct calibration method:


Strictly follow the calibration guidelines or relevant standards provided by the gas detector manufacturer to ensure that the calibration steps are correct.


(3) Ensure that the calibration environment meets the requirements:


Select a clean, target-free environment for calibration to avoid interference factors. At the same time, the temperature, humidity and other parameters of the calibration environment should be kept stable to ensure the accuracy of the calibration results of the gas detector.


(4) Verification after calibration:


Verify the gas detector with standard gas or other verification methods to confirm the validity of the calibration results.


(5) Strengthen training and supervision:


Professional training for gas detector operators to improve their calibration and maintenance skills. At the same time, strengthen the supervision and management of the calibration process to ensure the standardization and effectiveness of the calibration work.


To sum up, it is the specific performance of improper calibration of the gas detector and the relevant measures to solve the improper calibration.In the process of dealing with improper calibration of gas detectors, we must establish a reasonable calibration cycle, adopt the correct calibration method, ensure that the calibration environment meets the requirements, conduct verification after calibration, and strengthen training and supervision to ensure the accuracy and effectiveness of calibration work.
