In marine environments, where hazardous gases pose significant risks, gas detection systems play a crucial role in safeguarding lives and assets. To maintain accuracy and reliability, regular gas detection system calibration is essential. We provide expert calibration services to ensure that your fixed and portable gas detection systems comply with international safety standards and perform efficiently in detecting toxic, combustible, and oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
Why Gas Detection System Calibration is Essential
Calibration is the process of adjusting gas detectors to ensure they provide accurate readings. Over time, sensor drift, environmental conditions, and exposure to contaminants can lead to inaccurate measurements, compromising safety. Regular calibration helps:
- Maintain sensor accuracy
- Ensure compliance with IMO, SOLAS, and other international maritime regulations
- Reduce the risk of false alarms or undetected hazardous gas leaks
- Extend the lifespan of gas detection equipment
Calibration Process for Gas Detection Systems
At Al Safwan Marine, our calibration process is carried out by certified professionals using high-precision calibration gases and state-of-the-art testing equipment. Our process includes:
- Initial Inspection & Functionality Check
- Examination of sensors, alarms, and display panels
- Verification of battery power and connectivity (for portable gas detectors)
- Zero & Span Calibration
- Calibration gases are used to adjust baseline readings and verify the detector’s response to specific gas concentrations.
- Bump Testing
- A quick functional test to ensure the detector responds to a known concentration of gas within a specified time.
- Data Logging & Report Generation
- Recording all calibration data and providing detailed reports for compliance documentation.
How Often Should Gas Detectors Be Calibrated?
Calibration frequency depends on usage, environment, and manufacturer recommendations. As a general guideline:
- Portable gas detectors: Every 30-90 days
- Fixed gas detection systems: Quarterly to Bi-annually
- High-risk environments: More frequent calibrations may be necessary
Common Gases Requiring Detection & Calibration
- Combustible Gases (LEL – Methane, Propane, Hydrogen, etc.)
- Toxic Gases (H₂S, CO, Cl₂, NH₃, SO₂, etc.)
- Oxygen Deficiency (O₂ levels below safe limits)
- VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds)
Industry Standards & Compliance
We ensures compliance with leading international regulatory bodies:
- International Maritime Organization (IMO)
- Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) Convention
- International Association of Classification Societies (IACS)
- ISO 9001:2008 Certified Calibration Procedures
