Gas detection is only as reliable as the last time you tested it.
Whether it’s a fixed system on a vessel or a portable unit in a technician’s hand, bump testing and calibration are essential to verify that sensors are working and readings are accurate.
🔧 Bump Testing – A quick functional check using a known concentration of gas to ensure the sensor and alarm are responsive. It’s the first line of defense—fast, simple, and vital before each use.
🔬 Calibration – A precise adjustment process using certified calibration gas to align the sensor’s readings with known values. Done at regular intervals, this maintains measurement accuracy and ensures compliance with industry standards like IMO, SOLAS, and ISGOTT.
📉 Without this, sensor drift, environmental exposure, or wear-and-tear can result in dangerous false readings—or no readings at all.
