Once the right detector has been purchased for a particular unit and the correct professional installation has been carried out, care should be taken to maintain and calibrate the detector. Although, not all devices require it, some may become out of tune after prolonged use. This is when sensor calibration comes to the rescue, which should be carried out with calibration gas.
It is also common practice to carry out user tests to check that the detector is sure to sound the appropriate alarm when it detects a specific concentration of the substance it is supposed to detect in the air. Test gases are used not only in private premises, but also in a variety of industries related to welding, agriculture, the chemical, energy or nuclear industries.
JBK offers calibration gases for the calibration of the sensors it offers as well as for the testing of third-party detectors.
The gases on offer are available in two variants:
- Disposable 110 litre cylinders (1.6 litre water capacity), ideal for handling and use in the field
- 200-450 litre cylinders (10 litre water capacity), for use in laboratories.
JBK also offers gas sensor calibration services, both in-house and from third parties.
JBK Systems test gas specifications
To ensure that the test gas can be used to effectively test the efficiency of an installation or calibrate a sensor, it should only be purchased from trusted sources, such as JBK Systems. The calibration gases on offer have the necessary certificates, meet safety standards and are stored and transported in the correct way. The range offers more than one and a half thousand variants of different gases and gas mixtures, in different concentrations. It is therefore easy to find the ideal test gas for every sensor and installation. The products on offer include carbon monoxide, methane, propane, butane or hydrogen, among others. This will ensure that every sensor will be reliable throughout its lifetime. The use of the proposed cylinders is simple and convenient and the gas flow is constant.
