Top 5 accessories for your portable gas detector
There are a range of accessories to choose from for your portable gas detector, here are the top 5 in our opinion:
1) Calibration gas
Calibration / bump test gas is one of the most important accessories in our opinion. Without it, you can’t calibrate or bump test your portable gas detector. You should bump test your gas detector before every use so if you are using it every day, we recommend you use the calibration / bump test gas daily. In terms of calibration, we recommend you follow manufacturers recommendations.
2) Bump test stations
3) Charging docks
A charging dock is a docking station that charges your portable gas detector. Simply plug your device it and let it charge!
4) Sampling pumps
Sampling pumps allow the user to draw air from a specific location to the detector, rather than relying on natural gas diffusion. The sampling pump is usually used in confined spaces. It used to reach a certain area, take a reading before entry to check that the area is safe enough to enter.
