Shenzhen ZhongNuo Testing Technology Co., Ltd. specializes in the calibration, certification, and measurement services for gas alarms, flammable gas detectors, toxic and harmful gas detectors, and other equipment in various locations. We offer nationwide services to address electrical safety and explosion-proof fire prevention issues for our clients, contributing to safe production.
Appearance and structure
The instrument should not have any appearance damage that affects its normal operation. The surface of newly manufactured instruments should be smooth and glossy, with a uniform paint and plating layer, free of peeling and rusting.
The instrument's connections are reliable, and all dials or buttons should operate and control normally.
Logos and Branding
Instrument name, model, manufacturer, date of manufacture, serial number, explosion-proof marking and number, as well as the manufacturing metrological instrument license marking and number for domestically manufactured instruments should be clear.
Which gas detectors require regular calibration and verification?
Fixed-install, handheld, and portable gas detectors, gas alarm instruments, toxic and harmful gas detectors/alarm, flammable gas detectors/alarm, gas analyzers, etc.
Key Technical Requirements for Regular Calibration of Flammable Gas Detectors (Shenzhen ZhongNuo Inspection Technology Co., Ltd.)
1. Power-On Self-Check Function: The instrument should have an automatic self-check function upon startup, and the alarm components should also be equipped with a manual self-check function.
2. Specify the effective detection distance: The effective detection distance of the non-contact gas alarm instrument shall not be less than 20 meters.
3. Alarm Value Setting: For different gases, the standard specifies specific alarm value settings.
For example, the hypoxia alarm setpoint is 19.5% VOL, and the hyperoxia alarm setpoint is 23.5% VOL (refer to GB 8958-2006 "Operation Procedures for Hypoxia Hazardous Work" and GB 30871-2022 "Special Operation Regulations for Hazardous Chemical Enterprises").
The first-level flammable gas alarm setpoint is not greater than 25% LEL, and the second-level alarm setpoint is not greater than 50% LEL.
The first and second-level alarm settings for toxic and harmful gases are determined based on OEL (Occupational Exposure Limit) or IDLH (Immediate Danger to Life and Health).
4. Error and Repetition: The standard specifies clear requirements for the instrument's indication error, drift, and repeatability. For instance, the indication error for combustible gases, toxic and harmful gases, and oxygen should not exceed 5% FS, 5% FS, and 2% FS respectively within the normal test range of the instrument's full scale.
5. Calibration and Interface: The instrument should be easy to calibrate, with established calibration procedures and corresponding interfaces to ensure the accuracy of its measurement results.
6. Explosion-proof Performance: Equipment used in explosive environments must have explosion-proof performance in compliance with relevant regulations and obtain an explosion-proof certification.
7. Audio-Visual Alarm Device: The alarm's audio-visual alarm device must meet visibility and sound pressure level requirements under specific conditions to ensure effective notification of staff during emergencies.
8. Output Control Function: Instruments with output control capabilities should be able to activate the output control function upon emitting an alarm signal, such as shutting off power or initiating an exhaust system, etc.
9. Power Requirements: Specific requirements are outlined for power supply voltage, continuous operating time, etc., for battery-powered and non-battery-powered instruments.
10. Other Performance Requirements: Including requirements for direction, response time, full-scale indication error, high-speed airflow, long-term stability, insulation voltage resistance, temperature, constant humidity and heat, electromagnetic interference resistance, steam interference resistance, vibration and drop resistance, and functionality.
Gas Standard Material
The gas standard substance used should be of the same type as the gas measured by the instrument, such as methane or other gases; the standard gas can also use isopropanol, etc. If the instrument does not indicate the type of gas being measured, the concentration of the gas at the alarm set point is approximately 60% of the full scale. The uncertainty of the standard gas concentration is not more than % (k-body standard substance greater than ±1%); the flow indication error of the repetitive dilution device should not be greater than 0.%. The concentration unit of the gas standard substance should be converted to match the unit of the inspected instrument when in use.
