In hazardous environments, the dangers are often invisible. Toxic and flammable gases like H₂S, CO, and LELs pose a silent but immediate threat to human life. Your gas detection equipment is the critical first line of defense, providing the early warning needed to prevent catastrophic incidents. But this life-saving equipment is only effective if it is precisely calibrated and proven to work.
Al Saqr Engineering provides expert, on-site gas detector calibration services across the UAE. Our certified technicians use traceable, certified calibration gases to verify and adjust your instruments, ensuring they respond accurately and reliably when it matters most. We help you build a culture of safety, backed by compliant, audit-ready documentation.
Our Gas Detector Calibration Capabilities Include:
Portable Gas Monitors: Single-gas and multi-gas detectors (H₂S, CO, O₂, LEL, etc.) from all major manufacturers.
Fixed Gas Detection Systems: Complete system calibration, including the sensor head, transmitter, and control panel alarms.
Bump Testing: We perform and document functional bump tests to verify sensor response and alarm activation before use.
Sensor Replacement & Servicing: Full maintenance services, including replacement of expired or faulty sensors.
A bump test is a quick functional check to verify that the sensors respond to gas and that the alarms work. It should be done before each day's use. A **full calibration** is a quantitative procedure where the instrument's reading is adjusted to match a known concentration of certified gas. This ensures the monitor is not just working, but is accurately measuring the gas concentration.
You should always follow the manufacturer's recommendation. However, a common best practice is to perform a full calibration at least every six months. More frequent calibration may be necessary if the device is used in harsh environments or if it fails a bump test.
Yes. Our on-site service is ideal for this. We apply a known gas concentration to the sensor head and then verify that the correct reading is displayed on the control panel and that the corresponding alarms (e.g., beacons, sounders) activate at the correct set points. This provides a full, functional test of the entire safety loop.
