Calibration involves comparing measurements from a device under test with those from a calibration standard of known accuracy. The standards may be another measurement device or a device generating the quantity to be measured. Typically, a portable gas detector is calibrated daily and monthly, with periodic recalibration standards set by occupational safety and health administration.
Regular calibration and maintenance are essential for Gas Detector Devices. Comprehensive calibration ensures accurate readings. Repairs may be required if detectors do not calibrate, provide inaccurate readings, or are damaged.
