Gas Bottles

Whether you’re using portable or fixed systems, regular testing with calibration gas ensures your detectors respond accurately. Without the correct gas bottles, you can’t verify that your instruments will alarm when it matters most.

Bump test is a quick functional check where a known concentration of gas is applied to the detector to confirm that sensors and alarms respond correctly. This should be carried out frequently. Industries such as oil & gas, construction, utilities, and wastewater should carry out a bump test before each use as these industries can be high risk environments.

Fixed and portable gas sensors naturally drift due to environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and exposure to contaminants. Regular calibration using calibration gas bottles restores accuracy and keeps your detector within its specified tolerance (usually it is ±5%).

At Rockall Safety, we supply a wide range of gas bottles from Crowcon and Dräger. We also provide gas bottle regulators, flow regulators, and accessories to ensure accurate and consistent gas delivery during testing.

FAQs

What is a gas bottle used for in gas detection?

Gas bottles are used to bump test and calibrate gas detectors. They contain a concentration of gas that allows you to verify your detector responds accurately and alarms at the correct levels.

What is the difference between bump testing and calibration?

A bump test is a quick functional check to ensure the detector responds to gas and activates its alarms. Calibration is a more detailed process that adjusts the detector to ensure readings are accurate and within the manufacturer’s recommendations.

How often should I bump test my gas detector?

Most manufacturers recommend performing a bump test before each day’s use, especially in hazardous environments such as oil & gas, confined spaces, and wastewater sites.

How often should I calibrate my gas detector?

It depends on the manufacturer and site conditions, check with Rockall Safety for more information.
